NEM Outperformed The XAU By +0.21% Today

But modestly underperformed late in the session. NEM may fill it's upside gap at 56.53 from last Friday tomorrow. Fed Credit rose by +6.737 Billion in the week ending 2-15-06, which normally would portend strength for the next few days, but if Wave C is in effect then a substantial decline should soon begin. NEM took out yesterday's cycle high by 10 cents, so Wave C's Wave C may have begun today. Without the massive Fed lending the past two days ( http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/omo/dmm/temp.cfm ) there wouldn't have been nearly this much strength, and even this strength should quickly fade. Note that the very bullish NEM Lead Indicator at +1.80% vs the XAU yesterday correctly pointed to strength today. http://www.JoeFRocks.com/

  • Andy,

    They're lagging SPX by about an hour. SPX spiked late yesterday. SPX is why NEM is such a great lead indicator. Gold/silver stock strength in recent days coincided closely with SPX's, which was due to massive punch spiking by the Fed. Also, gold/silver stocks only trended up about an hour today before rolling over quickly and turning down. Much of the strength was the gap up at the open. Ciao
