Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/

 

Oil rose on renewed geopolitical worries about Iran's nuclear program as the IAEA is due to report this week about their recent activities.

 

The U.S. dollar index and the euro waffled near unchanged as easing worries about Greece were offset by increasing concerns about Italy.

 

Treasuries rose on incessant fears about Europe’s debt problems.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P ended decently higher in mixed trade as traders waited for more headlines out of Europe.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Fannie and Freddie, Dish Network, UPS, Citigroup, Delphi Automotive, Jefferies, Best Buy, and Buffet.

 

The Commentary:

 

Mining shares are getting a very strong bid in today's session taking the HUI up sharply through the 600 level, a psychological resistance level. As you can see on the chart, the index is moving ever closer to the top of the recent chart gap created last month when the shares were sold off during a downdraft in both the gold and silver bullion markets. I would expect the perma bears in the shares to try to make an effort to hold the index BELOW this resistance level. If they fail, I believe there will be enough momentum in the sector to mount a move back to the recent all-time high.

Downside support is back at the bottom of the gap and is noted.

 

Note how the miners are continuing to outperform the broader equity markets today as they have done so over the last month.

Also note the much longer term monthly ratio chart I have constructed showing the performance of this sector against the broader US equity market over the last decade+.- Dan Norcini, More at http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/

Gold production in the third quarter was impacted by delays in receipt of additional equipment to increase the pumping capacity of solution to upper lifts of the leach pad. This eight-week delay has resulted in the mine being approximately 15,000 ounces behind schedule on gold production. Similarly, year-to-date gold production is below expectation. The mine reported no safety or environmental incidents in the first nine months of 2011 and, as of October 2011, the mine has achieved two full years without a lost time accident." More
