Gold sector leaders AEM and K both report earnings within 3 trading days (Apr 30 and Apr 29 respectively) — excluded. ABX is pulling through its 50d MA with short-term bearish MACD signals (Barchart 24% sell). Energy standout SU.TO: 43.88% YTD, Barchart 72% buy (Strong) with 100% medium- and long-term ratings, mild short-term pullback below 20d EMA creating an entry zone. TSX screener access was partial — SwingTradeBot returned ECONNREFUSED, Barchart live screener required membership; Globe and Mail breakouts article (bank stocks, Apr 27) and direct page fetches used to source all candidates.",
