Gold Miners Still Lag the Metal

Recently, the GDX rolled over on the daily chart after trading as high as $61.71 a share on July 25, 2011. Meanwhile the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) are trading higher by $1.33 to 159.05 a share.

Other leading gold mining stocks that are trading higher this morning include Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM), Yamana Gold Corp. (NYSE: AUY), and Agnico Eagle Mines LTD (NYSE: AEM). All of these stocks look to have limited upside on an intra-day basis.
