Miners still digging

The gold miner ETF of GDX saw a net August decline of -$2.47 (9.4%) to $23.80, the sector impacted by further downside in gold/silver, and a m/t bearish equity market.

GDX, monthly


Summary

The miners dug lower for a fifth consecutive month. I would note the 10MA at $31.04, which was settled below, as the m/t trend remains bearish. Monthly momentum is increasingly negative, with zero sign of a floor/turn.
