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.

Of the four, yours truly favours Newmont. If gold has floored (as of Thurs', May 28th) from the daily 200MA, then the related gold/silver miners are all valid targets at this time and price.

A bounce to $102.39, but resuming lower to settle in the $88s, as the March bearish engulfing candle played out. Monthly momentum weakened for a second month. RSI has cooled to the 64s.
