Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Comex Silver Deliverable Inventory Hit New Lows


The ability of the Comex to deliver on the silver contracts continues to deteriorate.

Still running a long gold-short stocks pair. Added some silver long today, and doubled up the stock short, so the beta is leaning to the bearish side. I will adjust it tomorrow depending on how things look after the European close of trade.

The bullish case on these charts is for stocks to find a footing around the obvious support levels and create a slanted "W" double bottom with a nice summer rally back to the top of the channel trend resistance.

The bearish scenario involves a break of this support and a continuing decline into the Fed's decision on QE3 at the end of June.

Bernanke's waffling did not help stocks today.

I am still running the long gold-short stocks trade, but adjusted my beta and took the short position up a notch to a bearish lean.
