Summary

Gold/GLD: gold cooled to $2003… but has rebounded to $2022. Its a pretty good sign that buyers are coming in from around psy’ $2K. Any price action >2100 would be decisive, and offer 2400/2500, as looks realistic as early as June.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $25.27. A monthly close >$25.50 would be decisive, and offer psy’ $30. My only concern is the main market.

GDX: miners break a new cycle high, helped with the upside reversal in gold and silver.

notable gold miner: NEM

Mr Market was not pleased with the increased offer for Newcrest. Still… the l/t outlook is good, even if you assume gold only reaches 2400/2500.

notable silver miner: AG

Recent price action isn’t so great… mostly just sideways churn.

Equities: sp’60min


A new intraday high of 4120. Even if we break >4133, I’d still look for a reversal.
