Breaking the downward trend from 2011

The last two days of gains have resulted in a provisional break of the downward trend that stretches back almost a full five years. Gold and Silver saw powerful net daily gains of 4.0% and 3.1% respectively. Near term outlook threatens a retrace, but the mid/long term trends are finally turning bullish.


GLD, daily



SLV, daily



Summary

*I'll post the monthly charts tomorrow.
--

Suffice to add, a powerfully bullish day for the precious metals.

Reasons for the ramp?

1. USD weakness
2. Fear-bid, as US/world capital markets remain broadly upset
3. Technical, as we have a clear multi-year break... leading to renewed interest.
--

*I will strongly consider going long GLD on the next pull back... that might take 4-7 days to complete.

Next big target for Gold is the $1300 threshold.
