Summary

My only concern is a reaction to a Sept’ rate hike, and a main market washout. Net bullish… especially beyond the midterms.

Gold: currently $4360… nearing the 200dma

Silver: currently $65.18. The bigger weekly chart is looking especially bullish into Sept’. I’m almost tempted.

GDX: miners broadly flat. S/t vulnerable if equities cool on the inflation data.

Micro chop.
I wonder if 7630/00 … CPI-Wednesday.
That would make for a nice level to get involved.
