Gold up $7 1253, and Silver up .18 at 12.61, are climbing in a strange uniform curve up, rather than the typical sudden zigs and zags.
These three month AU AG charts look like one month zigs and one month zags. They represent a photo of TPTB trying to make the economy go forward, but against a strong head wind. They are forced to use “tacking” like what a sail boat mariner would have to do going against the wind.
