Gold and Silver Outlook 10-22-14

This morning I added a note to last nights Current Thoughts about what gold did overnight in Asia and Europe as well as at the open here in the U.S. Here is what I said around 6:30am PST.

10/22/2014 MORNING UPDATE

Gold never did follow through higher and the miners are all gapping down. CPI came in as expected but the dollar is up strongly with interest rates rising a bit. Gold needs some good news to get going. TNA gapped up to 65.29 and we might see a reversal coming through Halloween so I’d be careful. UGAZ still weak.

Tomorrow’s (Thursday’s) Unemployment Claims will be the next catalyst. Can’t see a real reason to be long anything right now.

I don’t do updates often but when I do it is because of a change I see occurring. I technically should have made this a separate update and will do so from now on so people know about them that check back to the site often.

TNA and UGAZ

TNA first off fell from the 65 where I told investors to be careful and fell over 3% to close at 62.08. UGAZ still remained weak and hit another 52 week low. Tomorrow’s report might be a catalyst for a bounce. Of course if the supply increases, we head lower. Risk vs. reward on this right now is aiken to gambling. Better to wait for the report and play UGAZ for the bounce if the supply numbers come in lower. Otherwise the play is DGAZ.

Gold Mining Stocks

Gold couldn’t get going today and the miners, GDX, JNUG and NUGT are fast approaching their 52 week lows. As many readers know, I expect gold to move lower (along with silver), so look out below. Can we get bounces from here again? Sure. But right now, with a stronger dollar, and no other real data to move it higher, gold looks weak. Tomorrow’s unemployment numbers might shed more light. Otherwise, it looks weak until the Fed meeting next week.

Silver and GDX scores moved back up to -100, after 1 day removed. Gold stayed at +60, but I expect that to fall soon depending on the Unemployment report.

JDST

One ETF that looks good though is JDST with a score of +100. If GDX and the other miners break to new lows, expect a very nice pop in JDST. I was conversing with a friend today who sold his mining stocks that he bought when Larry Edelson said to buy earlier this year. He finally decided to sell them and I had mentioned I was looking at JDST at the time. JDST was trading at 17.71 then. I told him I would be writing about it in today’s report. JDST ended up closing at 18.96, up 15.26% on the day. Keep an eye on it and if/when the miners break down, JDST may just break 28 and when it does, there will be a lot of those stuck in gold mining stocks feeling the pain. JDST was trading at 85 in January.
