Miners cooling back

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net June decline of -$1.37 (3.9%) to $33.93, pressured by lower gold/silver.

GDX, monthly 

Summary

The collective of miners were powerfully lower, mostly pressured by silver.
A more lousy performance, relative to the main market.
I would note the 10MA at $30.41, which was still settled above.

Four of the key miners...

Newmont (NEM) 

 

Newmont saw a net June gain of +$0.18 (0.4%) to $41.87. I would note the monthly 10MA at $37.76, which was settled above. Monthly momentum ticked upward, and is increasingly positive. Soft target are the $47s, with secondary of the $49s/psy'50.

First Majestic Silver (AG) 

 

A net June decline of -$1.24 (17.3%) to $5.92, on lower vol' of 99M. Momentum ticked back lower, if remaining marginally positive. Big target are the $9s, and then the $18s.

Of the four, yours truly favours NEM, which has less of a copper component than Barrick.

Miners digging upward

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net April gain of +$1.51 (4.8%) to $33.13, helped by higher gold/silver.

GDX, monthly 

 

 Summary

The collective of miners were powerfully higher, very resilient to the broadly lower equity market. I would note the 10MA at $29.46, which was settled above. The 2023 high of $35.67, was briefly/marginally exceeded... with an April high of $35.74.

As ever, any main market downside would be a restraint to the mining stocks, as we saw into end month.
