Miners bounce back

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net July gain of +$0.94 (2.8%). Multi-month price structure remains a valid (if overly long) bull flag. Relative to gold and silver, the miners are fairing reasonably well.

GDX, monthly


Summary

July saw the gold and (to a lesser extent) the silver miners bounce back, with GDX printing $32.87, but recovering to settle at $34.92. The s/t outlook is bullish to challenge the key $37s. I would note the 10MA at $34.86. Things turn decisive with a monthly settlement above psy' $40.

Three of the key miners...

Barrick Gold (GOLD), monthly


A net July gain of +$1.09 (5.3%) to $21.77. Monthly momentum ticked upward, but remains on the moderately negative side. Short term bullish, but currently still m/t bearish. The more cautious will wait to chase with a decisive push >$23.00.

Newmont (NEM), monthly

 

 

A net July decline of -$0.56 (0.9%) to $62.82. Monthly momentum continued to weaken, turning fractionally negative. Short term bullish, but currently still m/t bearish. The more cautious will wait to chase with a break and hold above the July high of $64.71.

First Majestic Silver (AG), monthly

 


A net July decline of -$2.10 (13.3%) to $13.71. The July candle is spiky from around key price threshold of the $13s. Monthly momentum continued to weaken, settling fractionally positive. Short term bullish, but currently m/t bearish. The more cautious will wait to chase with a break and hold above the July high of $16.09.

Of the three, yours truly favours GOLD. As of end July, I hold all three.
