Market Wrap
Week Ending 3/14/08
Stocks
Stocks had a volatile week and acted like a puppy on a choke chain, first pulled one way and then another. The lows are being tested.
The Japanese Yen keeps going up, and as the chart shows, when it goes up the stock market goes down.
It almost appears that money is being driven out of the stock market and into the bond market, at least that's the path of least resistance so far.
Gold
Gold was up $25.30 closing at a new all-time high of $999.50 for a weekly gain of +2.60%. Intra-day it hit a high of $1009.00.
The daily chart of GLD has mixed signals. RSI is showing a negative divergence, while MACD just made a positive cross over.

The weekly gold chart has higher overbought readings than the daily.
Silver
Silver gained 0.41 to close at $20.66 (+2.00%) for another multi-decade high.
The daily chart of SLV shows a negative RSI divergence. MACD has just made a negative cross over. Histograms have turned negative and ROC has taken a dive.
The weekly silver chart has higher overbought readings than the daily.
Hui
The Hui had a good week, gaining 27.56 points to close at a new all-time high of 514.89 (+5.66%).
Precious metal stocks out performed physical for the week, which is constructive. The weekly chart shows a strong rising price channel in effect.
RSI and the histograms have been showing negative divergences for a few weeks now and so far they have not come into play.
MACD has just made a positive cross over and is in overbought territory, but has been so for quite a while now.
