Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 gained 0.7% and continues to show signs of resilience, while the U.S. dollar remains caught between a longer-term bearish trend and a short-term bullish setup. Gold fell 2.9% and silver dropped 1.6%, pushing both metals into key support zones that I believe could represent some of the best buying opportunities we have seen in months. I also discuss why the recent surge of investor interest in SpaceX may be a warning sign and explain how sentiment often reaches extremes near important turning points in the market.
I then dive into the sectors that I believe offer the most compelling risk versus reward setups going forward. Copper gained 2.6% and continues to show technical strength, while uranium remains one of my highest conviction long-term themes as physical uranium trades at a significant discount to underlying value despite higher future contract prices. Oil fell 6.6% and energy stocks remain under pressure, while coal presented another attractive entry opportunity following a sharp pullback. I also examine platinum, palladium, nickel, and Bitcoin, highlighting the key technical levels that could determine their next major moves. Despite recent volatility across the commodity sector, I remain constructive on precious metals, uranium, and select resource investments as investors position for what could be the next phase of the commodity bull market.
