This Week in Review: Metals prices continue to consolidate but should the price of gold drop below the 50day MA, there is a chance we see a larger correction, potentially testing $1,825-$1,850/oz. Regardless of whether this comes to fruition, it doesn’t change a thing except for providing another (and likely last) buying opportunity. The window is closing quickly to get into the mining stocks at these cheap valuations. Further, any correction in gold and gold stocks will be short-lived so it is…
With another week of consolidation in the books, it is looking increasingly likely we will see a break soon. Whether this is to the upside or downside remains to be seen. If it is to the downside, it will be short-lived and could present the last opportunity before the train really leaves the station. Beyond the very-short term, precious metal prices are headed higher, much higher.
The silver miners were quick to restart operations once the lockdowns passed, and are ramping outputs back to full-speed. That should lower costs, which along with much-higher silver prices should greatly amplify profits going forward. So big additional silver-stock gains are fully justified fundamentally. This sector just has to work off its overboughtness first, through a healthy sentiment-rebalancing correction.

Gold and silver prices surged again this week, although both metals were hit on Friday. The disconnect between the valuation of mining equities relative to the underlying commodity price has been expanding. We are overdue for correction and/or a period of consolidation but it remains to be seen when that will be. It certainly feels like it has begun or is just around the corner. Q2 earnings announcements have started to accelerate with most companies impacted from the CV19 protocols and…
This week saw higher metal prices with the mining stocks performing well. Silver had an incredible week, being up >$1/oz. for two consecutive days. Silver reached on all-time high and had its best week in a long time. Like two weeks ago, there were countless financings for junior stocks again this week, which are listed below. Earnings should start to be reported in two weeks or so. Some companies will report great numbers and others not so much, all depending on the impact of mining…
