Miners lower with gold/silver

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net November decline of -$2.68 (6.6%) to $37.66, dragged down by lower gold/silver.

GDX, monthly 

Summary

The collective of miners saw the first monthly decline since June. I would note the 10MA at $35.47, which was settled above, as the m/t trend remains bullish. 

The ultimate concern is if the main market puts in a m/t top, gold/silver, and the related miners will be prone to being dragged lower. For now... there is ZERO sign of that.

Four of the key miners...

Newmont (NEM)

Newmont saw a net November decline of -$3.23 (7.1%) to $41.94. I would note the monthly 10MA at $43.00, which was settled beneath. Monthly momentum ticked lower for a second month, if still on the positive side. October's bearish engulfing candle played out.
--

Barrick Gold (GOLD)


Barrick settled -$1.72 (8.9%) to $17.49. Momentum ticked lower for a second month, and might turn negative in January. The third consecutive monthly close under psy' $20 is a concern. October's bearish engulfing candle played out.
--

First Majestic Silver (AG) 

A net November decline of -$1.26 (17.1%) to $6.11, on high vol' of 204M. Momentum ticked a little lower, and is on the marginally positive side. The effective merger with Gatos Silver (GATO) won't likely be finalised until Q1 2025.

--

Pan American Silver (PAAS)


A net November decline of -$1.33 (5.7%) to $21.97, on static vol' of 78M. Momentum ticked a little lower, if remaining on the moderately high side. Big target are the April 2022 $28s. That bullish outlook would be dropped with any monthly close under the key 10MA ($19s).

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

Higher high, higher low

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net October gain of +$0.52 (1.3%) to $40.34, helped by higher gold/silver, and a net positive main market. 

GDX, monthly 

Summary

The collective of miners were higher for the seventh month of eight, helped by gold/silver, and the net positive main market. I would note the 10MA at $34.50, which was settled above, as the m/t trend is bullish. 

Thursday Oct'31st saw the miners all lower, largely pressured by the main equity market. The ultimate concern should be... if the main market is close to a m/t top, gold/silver, and the related miners will be prone to being dragged lower.

Four of the key miners...

Newmont (NEM) 

Newmont printed $58.72, but swung very powerfully lower, a net October decline of -$8.01 (15.0%) to $45.44. I would note the monthly 10MA at $42.42, which was settled above. Monthly momentum ticked back lower, and is on the high side. The monthly candle is bearish engulfing, and bodes net bearish for November.

Barrick Gold (GOLD)  

Barrick printed $21.35, but settled -$0.57 (2.9%) to $19.32. Momentum back lower, and is on the moderately high side. The second consecutive monthly close under psy' $20 isn't great, and threatens some cooling to the 10MA in the $17s. The monthly candle is bearish engulfing, and bodes net bearish for November. 
--

First Majestic Silver (AG) 

A net October gain of +$1.38 (23.0%) to $7.38, on static vol' of 240M. Momentum ticked a little higher, and is on the marginally positive side. The effective merger with Gatos Silver (GATO) won't likely be finalised until Q1 2025.

Pan American Silver (PAAS)

 


A net October gain of +$2.54 (12.2%) to $23.41, on static vol' of 75M. Momentum ticked a little higher, if remaining on the moderately high side. Big target are the April 2022 $28s. That bullish outlook would be dropped with any monthly close under the key 10MA ($18s).

Barrick Gold (GOLD)  

Barrick lagged the sector, settling -$0.30 (1.5%) to $19.89. Momentum ticked upward, and is on the moderately high side. The monthly close under psy' $20 isn't so great, and threatens some cooling to the 10MA in the $17s.

First Majestic Silver (AG) 

A net September gain of +$0.41 (7.3%) to $6.00, on very high vol' of 240M. Momentum is flat-lining on the marginally positive side. Things only turn interesting >$7.00.  News: an effective merger with Gatos Silver (GATO), although that won't likely be finalised until Q1 2025.

A net September gain of +$0.67 (3.3%) to $20.88, on static vol' of 75M. Momentum ticked lower for a second month, if remaining on the moderately high side. Big target are the April 2022 $28s. That bullish outlook would be dropped with any monthly close under the key 10MA ($18s).
