I start with the S&P 500, the U.S. dollar, and Treasury yields to frame the macro backdrop, focusing on the S&P breaking below a long-term trendline, the dollar's sharp selloff through all major moving averages, and yields pressing back toward the 200-day moving average. Taken together, this setup continues to favor commodities over equities if these trends remain intact.
From there, I move into commodities, where gold and silver posted explosive gains, with gold pushing to the doorstep of 5,000 and silver surging as spot prices traded at a premium to futures. I cover copper's failed breakout and downside risk, uranium's continued strength alongside rising spot and term prices with premiums flashing caution, and the energy complex, where oil is consolidating after reclaiming key levels and natural gas has broken into a new price regime. I wrap up with coal, platinum, palladium, and nickel, all showing improving momentum, and finish with Bitcoin, where a failed bullish setup has shifted focus to a developing bear flag and clearly defined downside risk.
