Summary

Gold/GLD: a new hist’ high of $2938… as psy’ $3K might even be printed this CPI-Wednesday. Yardeni touting $4K… if not until 2026. I’d be open to $3500/3750 by year end.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $32.81, pulled upward by sister gold, and the positive main market. Things turn more bullish >$35. I’d be open to a test of the historic $49s before year end.

If copper can break/hold >psy’ $5.00, that’d bode VERY bullish for silver.

GDX: miners are very significantly higher, mostly due to gold and copper. Today’s candle prone to settling black… bodes s/t bearish.

notable gold miner: GOLD

Gains fading. Black candle.

notable silver miner: AG

Struggling… due to settle with a black candle.
Bodes problematic ahead of Powell-Tuesday.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t bearish… so long as we hold under upper trend… around 6098 as of the 3pm hour.
