Four of the key miners...

Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM)


Agnico was massively higher settling +$57.84 (39.8%) to $203.11. Monthly momentum has started to tick back upward. Vol' increased to 75M
-- 

Newmont (NEM)  



Newmont saw a net August gain of +$32.35 (34.5%) to $126.06. New historic high of $135.29, which is very impressive, considering gold is around $1000 below the January high. Monthly momentum ticked back upward. Vol' was marginally higher at 171M
--

Barrick Mining (B)

 


Barrick Mining settled +$8.24 (22.5%) to $36.73. Momentum has started to tick back upward. Vol' increased to 255M
--

Pan American Silver (PAAS)

 


Pan American Silver saw a net August gain of +$8.96 (20.9%) to $51.92. A second monthly close under the 10MA. Next big support is around $35. Momentum weakened for a sixth month, settling fractionally positive. Volume increased to 111M

Of the four, yours truly favours Newmont. The cautious will arguably be on the sidelines, and hoping for a main market washout before the midterms, which would likely see the metals/miners cool back... if briefly.

Of the four, yours truly favours Newmont, but the monthly charts offer zero sign of a floor/turn. Arguably, even the bold will be sitting back, and waiting for a cyclical turn, which will likely be some months away.
