A Contrarian Signal for the Gold Sector
Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. This is your host, Trevor Hall
Today is Monday, February 8th
Gold on Friday bounced $32 from Thursday's low while silver jumped over $1. The mining stocks, with GDX as a proxy, rose 2.3%, with many junior exploration stocks jumping 5-10%. If Thursday's close on GDX holds going forward, it will complete a higher low going back to December 24th and mark the end of the precious metals sector correction that started in late August 2020. The Mining Stock Journal said that the Hulbert Gold Newsletter Sentiment Index plunged to a -22.9% reading after Thursday's sector beating. The HGNSI has been a very reliable contrarian indicator for the last 20 years and only 5.6% of the daily readings have been lower than -22.9% since 2000, the majority of which occurred during the 2011-late 2015 bear cycle. The Mining Stock Journal also commented that, assuming another bull move in gold and silver is beginning, the mining stocks, especially the risky junior exploration stocks, have rarelybeen as undervalued as they are now relative to the price of gold and silver over the last 20 years.
We’ll get to the news out of the miners and explorers here in just a quick moment, but first a quick mention of today’s sponsor.
