XAU/USD has retreated from the upper Bollinger Band on the 4-hour chart and is currently fluctuating below the middle band, showing an overall neutral to slightly bearish pattern.

Global Top 10 Copper Producers Rankings Revealed: Industry Shifts Lurk Behind Production Volatilit

Do you think copper prices will keep soaring past $14,500/tonne? Which miner do you trust most to capitalize on the demand boom—BHP, Southern Copper, or the upstart CMOC? Share your thoughts below! As energy transition accelerates, copper prices hit an all-time high in early 2026, with London Metal Exchange (LME) copper futures breaking through $14,500 per tonne. Amid this super cycle, the production rankings of the world’s top 10 copper producers have quietly shifted, reflecting the opportunities and challenges facing mining giants. BHP Billiton retained its top spot with an annual output of 1.5 million tonnes.

GOLD: Still Supports for Further Gains!

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Technical Analysis: $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ After a brief test of the $5,000 level, the technical outlook for gold prices still supports further gains. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has declined slightly, it remains in bullish territory, indicating that buyers are in control. However, in the short term, gold prices may consolidate in the $5,100-$5,250 range, awaiting a new catalyst. Conversely, if gold prices continue to fall below $5,000, the first support level is at $4,950, followed by the cycle low of $4,841 from February 17th. If gold prices weaken further, the next target will be the 50-day moving average at $4,810. The short-term strategy remains buy-ori

Volatility Is Back: A War‑Driven Playbook for Oil, Gold, and FX Futures

As of today, the joint U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran have entered their third day. International futures markets, as expectations about the direction of the war have shifted, have gone through a clear sequence: sharp volatility, then a period of tight balance with slowing swings, and now a renewed pickup in volatility. A war-driven pullback in global risk appetite, together with a surge in safe-haven demand, is gradually turning into a broader wave of portfolio rebalancing.This round of fighting—where major world powers and a major Middle Eastern state are directly entering the battlefield—seems to have convinced many global analysts that the conflict may be moving beyond a localized event and toward a wider confrontation. Meanwhile, the U.S.–Israel side’s unsparing “decapitation” actions ag

Oil vs Gold After Iran: One Was Pressured, One Was Bullish

The much-watched Iran situation officially entered a new phase last weekend. A U.S.–Iran “hidden move” style decapitation operation quickly carried out targeted killings of Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials.

2026 Silver Market & Silver ETF Investment Guide

The silver market staged a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride in 2026: amid extreme volatility, silver prices soared to an all-time high of $120 per ounce before plummeting sharply to the mid-$70 range. As a unique precious metal with both industrial and financial attributes, silver's performance is driven not only by industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy and electric vehicles but also by interest rates, inflation expectations and market sentiment. Compared with gold, silver's higher volatility makes it one of the most dynamic assets in the commodity market. Looking ahead to 2026-2030, persistent supply shortages and growing global demand are expected to drive a gradual climb in silver prices, potentially challenging the $145 mark. However, short-term fluctuations are inevitab

Copper, the "Red Gold": Three Canadian Miners Leading the 2026 Resource Boom

Industry experts dub copper "red gold" for its immense economic value. As the construction of AI data centers and related infrastructure accelerates, coupled with surging demand for large-scale upgrades to global power grids, a resource boom centered on this "red gold" is sweeping the global mining market in 2026. Amid this boom, three Canadian mining companies have become the market’s focus thanks to their strategic layouts and strong performance. $HudBay Minerals(HBM)$ and Capstone Copper (TSX:CS) have delivered substantial returns to investors over the past year, while Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.B) has also seen a notable share price surge since late 2025.

Newmont: A Better Bet Than Gold Bullion in This Historic Gold Bull Market

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ When the price of gold surged past the all-time milestone of $5,000 an ounce with an annual gain of over 70%, the market’s attention became almost entirely fixated on this glittering safe-haven asset itself. Yet the real smart money may be shifting to the background—to the producers that turn underground ore into physical gold. In this historic gold bull market, Newmont (NEM), the world’s largest listed gold company, is proving with staggering financial results that it may offer more investment value than gold bullion itself. Gold prices have climbed more than 18% year to date, breaking above $5,000 an ounce—a figure not even the most optimistic gold bugs would have dared to imagine just two years ago. But while reta

GOLD: The Calm Before Storm

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Technical Analysis: The gold market is currently in a typical "calm before the storm." The tug-of-war between bulls and bears around the $5200 level reflects the market's high degree of uncertainty regarding the outcome of the US-Iran negotiations. Technically, if the negotiations achieve a breakthrough, gold prices could quickly test the $5100 or even $5000 psychological level; conversely, if the negotiations break down and regional conflict escalates, gold prices will easily break through the $5200 resistance and quickly challenge the previous high of $5340. It is worth noting that even if gold prices experience a short-term pullback due to

US Dollar Rebound Unlikely to Last: Awaiting the Next Shorting Opportunity

The US dollar experienced a rebound last week, prompting us to temporarily exit our previous long positions in the Euro. However, the fundamental factors underlying the dollar have not undergone any substantial changes. Therefore, we expect the magnitude and momentum of this rebound to be limited. We will closely monitor developments this week; if price action is favorable, we may once again seek suitable non-US currencies to go long. Analyzing the weekly chart of the dollar over the past few weeks reveals signs of a pause in its downward trend. Furthermore, last week's weekly closing price returned above a crucial new long-term trendline, indicating that range-bound consolidation and volatility are likely to unfold in the near term. As long as there is no bearish engulfing pattern this we

Topping Risk Persists in U.S. Stocks: Consider Gold and VIX on Pullbacks?

Ahead of the holiday, I told everyone to temporarily consider taking profits on bullish positions in the U.S. equity market, and to look at building small long put option positions once the S&P moved below its 20-week moving average; alternatively, you could try buying VIX-long exposure on dips, using the VIX 20-day moving average as the stop level. From what we’ve seen so far, the VIX-long position should already be profitable: $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ $ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(VIXY)$ $ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(UVXY)$ $Volatility Index - main 2603(VIXmain)$ My strategy remains un

Tariff Hikes—Risk Ahead? One Strategy for Navigating a Volatile Market

On Friday night, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6–3 to overturn President Donald Trump’s broad-based tariff policy, ruling that it exceeded presidential authority. Because the decision had been widely anticipated, the market reaction was relatively muted, and U.S. equity indices even rebounded. However, Trump quickly voiced his dissatisfaction and announced a 15% global tariff (up from 10%) while launching a new investigation, stating, “We will be able to levy tariffs—more tariffs.” Since the additional tariff measures were announced over the weekend, Monday becomes the first real test of how sensitive the market is to this news. Overall, the tariff hike is a modest negative for U.S. equity indices, but for gold and silver it may serve as a catalyst for a renewed upswing. Will higher tariffs

GOLD Price Surges as Weaker-than-expected US Q4 GDP Data

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$prices surged on Friday (February 20) during the US trading session, supported by weaker-than-expected US Q4 GDP data and fueled by market uncertainty surrounding medium- to long-term trade policy following the US Supreme Court's rejection of the Trump administration's comprehensive tariff plan. Gold closed up 2.24% at $5107.75. The Supreme Court's rejection of the tariff policy provided the core support for trade policy uncertainty. The US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration's comprehensive global tariff measures under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lacked legal authorization, rejecting this highly controversial use of presidential power. This ruling directly impacts the global trade la

Why I’m Not Buying the Dip in U.S. Stocks—or Gold and Silver

The market’s focus is gradually shifting from gold and silver to U.S. equities, but we want to remind everyone that around the coming Spring Festival period, U.S. equities are actually the asset most in need of bearish “protection.” After a sharp sell-off, the U.S. stock market has recently seen a modest rebound, which is technically normal. However, I would not take this small rebound as evidence that Hong Kong stocks, A-shares, and U.S. equities have returned to a sustained upward trend. On the contrary, I prefer to interpret it this way: the volatility cycle in U.S. equities most likely has not finished, and this rebound looks more like a “covering” move within volatility rather than a signal that a trend has been confirmed. First signal: the DXY The first signal that U.S. equities may

Brace for a High-Volatility Market—Don’t Put Too Much Faith in Any Bounce

Since the crash last October, the weakness in crypto has not eased. With ETH breaking below 2,000 last week and BTC approaching the 60,000 level, the crypto complex has essentially been abandoned by the market. This also means its value as a leading indicator is no longer valid. After last week’s wide-range swings, precious metals are expected to enter a period of back-and-forth between bulls and bears.​ Using Bitcoin as the reference point, price broke below two key levels in a relatively short time: 100,000 and 80,000/75,000. The market’s rebound attempts have been feeble and did not even reach 100,000. Price has now fallen back to the lows from before Trump was elected; if this zone also breaks, there is basically open space below. This area also marks where many ETFs initially built po

February Volatility Is Back: Is It Time to Buy the Dip in U.S. Stocks and Silver?

U.S. equity indices have recurring time windows each year that deserve extra attention—February, May, August, and October—and the first week of February that just passed seems to have “worked” again in influencing U.S. equity indices. Think back to last year: U.S. equity indices formed a cyclical top during February, and then, on news that Trump would impose tariffs globally, they fell about 20% in a short period.​ That move also produced a near-10% single-day drop—an historical record in recent years.​ Even though the pace of tariff implementation later slowed and U.S. equity indices went on to make new highs, these kinds of sharp, fast pullbacks still caused many investors unnecessary panic and losses.​ This year, at the same time window, U.S. equity indices have again experienced a simi

GOLD: Wait for the US CPI Data

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ Technical Analysis: The $5000 level has become the first resistance zone for a short-term rebound. If the rebound is limited and fails to hold, the downtrend will be difficult to reverse. Further key resistance lies around $5020; only a recapture of this level can allow the market to resume its upward trend. Momentum indicators show the daily RSI has rapidly fallen below 50, indicating a significant weakening of bullish momentum. The MACD histogram is also contracting and showing signs of a death cross, reinforcing the short-term pullback signal.
