Steve Barton returns with this week’s Monday Market Moves, breaking down the S&P 500’s intraday record and sharp fade alongside a weaker U.S. dollar and stalled yields. Gold pressed against a bull-flag breakout while silver closed at a 14-year high, extending momentum in precious metals. Miners hit measured targets, and copper steadied with upside potential toward $52 on COPX. Uranium advanced as tight spot markets and ETF inflows supported further gains, while energy split directions—oil’s moving averages stayed bearish even as natural gas staged a rebound. Coal approached...

Steve Barton returns with this week’s Monday Market Moves, unpacking the latest swings across equities, currencies, and commodities. The S&P 500 added 0.3%, sitting just shy of record highs as Jerome Powell’s pivot toward September rate cuts fueled stagflation concerns. The dollar rolled over and the 10-year Treasury slid to 4.25%, while gold advanced 1.1% in bullish consolidation and silver surged 2.8%, extending its edge in precious metals. Commodities showed sharp divergence. Copper flashed a bear flag near recent lows, uranium held firm with a new $71–73 floor reinforced by...

By using momentum charts rather than traditional price action, Oliver identifies critical divergences and highlights tech leaders like Microsoft and NVIDIA as potential downside catalysts. He sees strong upside ahead for silver, silver equities, and select gold miners, noting that gold’s recent sideways action is not a sign of weakness...
