All rights reserved the sector-wide put/call OI of all individual gold stocks together is at 0.56, which on the face of it seems low, but it is higher than about 83% of all readings over the past year - which is to say it is actually NOT low.

All rights reserved surprisingly, the Rydex pm fund actually had small outflows yesterday ( in the face of a new 25-year high in gold ) . XAU put/call OI 53,804 puts vs. 49,308 calls, and yesterday's volume p/c ratio came in at a pessimistic 1.35 ( a contrarian bullish sign ) . in short, sentiment data continue to show caution on the part of market participants, a.k.a. the 'wall of worry'.
