I was surprised the previous top from a few weeks ago had the bulls propping up any weakness. The fickleness of picking tops and bottoms. Gold stock took a boost from this ATH this week with a few that have as yet to shown a bull trend.
It must be driven by the expectation of a 50 bps cut expectation gaining momentum, a cut of such proportion can signal bad economic expectation. Gold has remained the baby & bath water if the stock market crashes historically.
