Observations
Precious metal equities have been under pressure recently. That’s normal for this time of year. They tend to weaken briefly into late July/early August where they have a history of reaching a significant intermediate low. Preferred strategy is to watch for an upturn in short term momentum indicators for a buy signal as the sector enters into its period of seasonal strength. Currently, Stochastic, RSI and MACD are trending down.
