Summary

*the grander problems remains… higher yields/rates are inherently bearish. Further, any main market downside will be a problem, especially for silver and the related miners.

Gold/GLD: printing $1813, currently $1818… helped by the weaker dollar.

Silver/SLV: printing $19.96, the lowest since Oct’2022. Any further downside in the main market, and/or dollar strength, won’t help!

GDX: miners are moderately lower with the main market.

A new intraday low of 3969, but its mostly just chop. Other than s/t cyclical factors, the bulls next hope is a ‘Goldilocks’ job print on Friday.

*I’ve added a possible C wave UP… but confidence is LOW. I sure ain’t buying into this… and merely looking to re-short, but am in no hurry.
