Recording Date 10-2-2026. This week I start with the S&P 500, where I see a possible short-term pullback before the broader move continues higher, then move to the DXY and the 10-year, 20-year and 30-year Treasury yields, which are pushing levels not seen in decades. Gold fell 3.7%, and I'm watching roughly $3,950 as critical support, while PHYS is approaching my full-allocation buy level. GDX dropped 5.5%, with $84 as my next preferred limit-order area. Silver fell 6.8%, with support near $58 and $54, while PSLV and SILJ are moving toward increasingly attractive buying zones. Copper dropped 3.2%, and COPX bounced near its 200-day moving average, where I took a small position.

Uranium gained 0.5%, and this remains the setup I'm most excited about. I added to SRUUF and took a larger position in URNM as sentiment approaches capitulation and the charts begin showing potential bottoming patterns. WTI crude oil fell 1.3% while Brent crude climbed 5.1%, creating an unusual divergence, and I remain cautious on XLE in the near term. Natural gas dropped 4.3%, but the technical setup remains constructive, while FCG is sitting near one of my favorite Fibonacci and 200-day moving-average setups. I also cover Pacific thermal coal, Atlantic thermal coal, metallurgical coal and the coal ETF, before moving into platinum, which fell 4.4%, and palladium, which dropped 8.1%. Finally, nickel futures fell 5.2%, while PICK bounced near its 61.8% retracement and rising 200-day moving average, creating what I believe is an attractive entry setup.
