It is generally agreed that in a Gold BullMarket, the gold producers lead the way, by outperforming gold bullion. To examine this trend we visitStockcharts.com and pull up a chart that compares mining stocks (GDX) to goldbullion (GLD).
This index bottomed in March and since thenthe miners have moved ahead of gold bullion. The first hurdle, at the 50DMA (blue line) was overcome in April. The next hurdle, at the 200DMA (red line),took several months, but it is now in the process of being ‘put in the rearview mirror’. The blue arrow points tothe fact that for the past three days the daily range has been above theresistance. The supporting indicators(top and bottom of chart), are positive. A rise above the green arrow will convince a lot of investors that thegold sector is ‘the place to be’. The timingis likely to coincide with the resumption of trading, after the US July 4thIndependence Day Holiday.
Featured is GNX the commodities index, withthe gold price at the top. The green lines show the correlation betweenbottoms in this index and gold. A turnaround in gold isoverdue.
This chart courtesy BMGbullionfunds.comshows June is a good time to buy gold and gold stocks.
