Summary

So, with Thursday gains of 1.9%, the miners ended the month at multi-year highs.

Considering Gold is still only in the mid/low $1300s, GDX has already excelled beyond any almost Gold bugs dreams.

If Gold $1500... GDX to the $35/40 zone.

As ever, a stronger USD would be a downward pressure, that is one key variable, but it certainly is not the only one.
