Choppy month for the miners

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net July decline of -$0.42 (0.8%) to $51.64

GDX, monthly 


Summary

The collective of miners broke a new multi-year high of $54.78, if cooling back to settle at $51.64. I would note the 10MA at $43.90, which was settled above, as the m/t trend remains bullish.

Four of the key miners...

Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM)

 


Agnico printed a new hist' high of $129.77, with a July gain of +$5.43 (4.6%) to $124.46. Monthly momentum ticked lower for a second month, but remains on the very high side. Vol' was a little lower at 54M.

Newmont (NEM) 

 


Newmont saw a July gain of +$3.84 (6.6%) to $62.10. I would note the monthly 10MA at $48.12, which was settled above. Monthly momentum ticked upward for a fifth month. Vol' picked up a little to 274M.

Barrick Mining (B)

 


Barrick saw a net July gain of +$0.30 (1.4%) to $21.12, the highest monthly settlement since March 2022. Momentum ticked a little higher, and is moderately positive. Vol' was a considerably lighter 222M

Pan American Silver (PAAS)

 


Pan American Silver printed a new cycle high of $31.03, but saw a net July decline of -$1.38 (4.9%) to $27.02, on lower vol' of 103M. Momentum ticked back lower, if remaining on the moderately high side.

Of the four, yours truly favours Agnico Eagle Mines, which has been the sector leader for over a year. The primary concern should be if the broader equity market is net lower into October, the miners will struggle... even if gold and/or silver continue to climb.
