The Gold Sector Consolidation is Showing Signs of Ending Soon

The gold miner consolidation, which began in early August of 2016, is giving us strong signals of being close to ending soon. Miner ETF traders have been treated to multiple whipsaw moves since the beginning of June, making it nearly impossible to successfully trade the sector. Some of this frustration can be attributed to US equity fund managers who have been book squaring into quarter end this week before heading to the Hamptons for the Independence Day weekend (US markets will be closed next Tuesday, July 4th). read more David Erfle

Over the past couple of days copper has broken strongly higher, and while copper itself may be of little interest to most of us, the implications of this development are profound for the base and Precious Metals sectors. Copper is an important lead indicator, which is why it earned the moniker “Dr Copper,” and since it now looks like it is starting a major bull market, this is a sign that a major bull market is about to begin across the entire metals sector, which as you know is what we are looking for in gold and silver. Silver in particular is gruesomely undervalued and has huge upside potential from here. read more at The Gold Report

When you embark on a tour of the upcoming mines of the Yukon the first thing which hits you is the sheer size of the place. Miles and miles of untouched, trackless, wilderness separates many of the properties from any sort of population centre. To cover eight properties and a full-scale mining conference in six days means a lot of fixed wing flying, helicopter jumps and bumpy drives down gravel (if you’re lucky) roads. read more
