Here is my up-to-the-minute market monitor on the larger Gold producers:

My thought here is that gold and goldminer stocks will continue to rally because of the incredible recent growth in the debt, and the printing of money, in the U.S.

The basic materials stocks, except gold-related, are pulling back because of trader concerns re China's economy, trade wars, and so forth.

Gold bullion, which had been tracking changes in the USD, is now on its own. The USD has been in rally mode because of relative weakness in the economies of America's major trading partners (Japan and Europe).

I think the posture to assume here is one of holding on to gold, and goldminer stocks. In addition, the speculative golds (and silver) stocks are having a good run, which will likely to persist through the summer and well through the 4Q05, in my view.
