Dow Theory Update for May 9: Stocks close with minor declines

Manuel Blay

 No change in trends

Where is the gold going?
It seems that GLD is not the only one gold investment avenue afflicted by inventory losses. Zero Hedge reports that JPM eligible vault gold has just dropped to a new record low as you can read here.

Maybe this link provides you with the answer.

Stocks

The SPY, Industrials and Transports closed down. The primary and secondary trend remains bullish.
Today’s volume was lower than yesterday’s. Thus, we had a bullish volume day, as declining prices were not met by expanding volume.
Gold and Silver

GLD and SLV closed down. The primary trend is bearish, and the secondary trend is bullish.
GDX and SIL, the gold and silver miners ETFs, closed down. The primary and secondary trend is bearish.
Here you have the figures of the markets I monitor for today:
