NEM Lead Indicator = -1.41% Versus The XAU Today

The NEM Lead Indicator was a very bearish -1.41% versus the XAU today. I expect Wave A down of the Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (since 5-11-06 for HUI/XAU and since 1-31-06 for reliable lead indicator NEM) to bottom in the 100-110 range (XAU) in the next few weeks.

The prior eight weeks the NEM Lead Indicator was a very bearish -8.18% vs the XAU, and, so far this week it's -1.36% vs the XAU, for a total of -9.54% vs the XAU the past eight weeks and two days, even though it's been positive the prior four sessions at +0.05% versus the XAU yesterday, +0.28% versus the XAU on Friday, +0.59% versus the XAU on Thursday, and +0.69% versus the XAU on Wednesday.
