Miners (HUI) to gold linear regression still intact

 A year ago the new linear regression between major gold miners (represented by the HUI gold miners index) and the gold price has been revealed. With the yellow metal now way above the interval used to derive the regression relationship, it has been verified that the linear regression still holds.

Miners now anticipating $1800 gold

The gold price keeps rising early July 2020 towards the symbolic $1800 mark. After a flawed and weaker period since mid May, miners are again responding favorably to the ongoing gold rally, now anticipating $1800 gold, that level being breached while editing this blog !
