Summary

Suffice to add... USD weak... > metals higher.. and despite the broader equity market, the mining stocks saw very significant gains.

Further upside into the $26s would bode provisionally bullish for the mid/long term.

To have clarity the wave from August-October was merely a correction, mining bulls should be seeking a weekly close >$28 before year end.
