Morning Briefing: Seabridge Gets Clarity on the Mitchell Treaty Tunnels
Good morning and welcome to Mining Stock Daily. I’m Ian Wagner.
Today is Wednesday, September 25th.
Another day, another all-time for gold yesterday. After bouncing around overnight, December gold shot up in a near-vertical trajectory, closing in the afternoon at $2687, up $35 from Monday. Silver's rise was even more dramatic as it started to take-off from the runway right before the Asian markets close and then shot up an even steeper trajectory than gold late morning after the p.m. London fix. December silver settled in the afternoon at $32.54, up $1.45 from Monday. On a percentage basis silver jumped 4.7%. The Mining Stock Journal commented that the precious metal price-action is telling the market that, not only is the real rate of inflation several multiples higher than the CPI shows, but that a lot more inflation can be expected as Central Banks lower rates and print more money. The mining stock outperformed every sector of the stock market, with GDX up 2.7%. The Mining Stock Journal noted that heavy volume is starting to make its way into junior micro cap mining stocks.
We’ll get to the news from the miners and explorers here in a moment, but first a quick word about today’s sponsor.
