Summary

Gold/GLD: gold is churning the low/mid $2300s. Things turn interesting >$2400.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $29.76, but has cooled back… as equities are struggling to hold gains. I can’t take silver seriously until it breaks above the recent high… >$31.00 to be decisive.

GDX: miners are moderately higher. Daily momentum prone to turning positive in 2-3 days.
