Precious Metals Market Shows Signs of Top, Silver Outperforms Gold Miners
Investors in the precious metals market are keeping a close eye on recent movements, as gold and silver prices continue to fluctuate. On Friday, March 3rd, the market saw a slight increase in precious metals, with silver showing a particularly strong performance.
According to analysts, the GDXJ, which tracks gold miners, only moved slightly above its recent high, while silver doubled its previous short-term upswing. While neither of these moves were substantial, the relative performance is what matters from an analytical point of view.
As many analysts have noted, miners tend to underperform gold close to tops, while silver tends to catch up. This was evident in Friday’s market movements, and suggests that the top of the market may be just around the corner, or may have already been reached.
While this does not guarantee that the top is already in, it does indicate that the easy part of the rally may be over. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on the market in the coming weeks, as further movements could indicate a shift in the precious metals market.
