Add on the pullbacksperhaps you have noticed that when a hotter than expected inflation or CPI etc number comes out lately bringing in to question rate cuts that you get a pullback in price of gold/silver on the day of the announcement but the next day gold/silver have bounced very well and gold/silver stocks are starting to react better. Copper stocks have thus far been correlating to copper price much better which is now firmly over $4. I think many forget that gold/silver producers are substantial copper producers as well.
