Summary

Gold/GLD: gold is churning around psy’ $2900. Little reason not to expect a formal hit of giant psy’ $3K

Silver/SLV: silver printed $32.50, largely dragged down by the main market… as is typically the case.

GDX: miners lower with gold/silver, and the main market. Another reminder that if you’re bearish equities… the default would also be bearish silver, miners, and crypto.

Fairing better than the sector

As ever, silver miners will tend to fair worse.
