Continuing under performance of Gold mining shares

The recent run up of Gold made more evident than ever the under performance of Gold mining shares. In both, the weekly and monthly charts (Chart 1 and 2), the XAU failed to breahout and get free from the constraints of a set of price bands within a multi year trend channel. Furthermore, while Gold climbed to an all time high price of nearly $1,000/oz, the XAU/Gold ratio remained close to its all time low value (Chart 3).
