11am update - it sure is quiet out there

An especially quiet start to the week, and the indexes appear almost frozen..much like the weather. Precious metals are the one main strength, Gold +$9, with the first break >100 dma since early November. VIX looks stuck in the 15s.


GLD, daily

Summary

*with the indexes flat, I'll revert back to the usual 'other things'.

Action in Gold is kinda interesting, but hey, the broader trend is weak, and I'm still looking for the big $1000 level to be tested no later than mid 2015. That seems like a long way out, but really, its not.

I sure see a lot of Gold bugs still touting end 2014 Gold >2k, which frankly, seems crazy, much like the 'hyperinflation, with dollar collapse' mantra.

If the rest of the day continues like this, I'll end up digging up BDI and CRB charts!

*notable strength: the miners, GDX +3.0%, no doubt helped by the rising metals.
