Recording Date 9-6-2026. The S&P 500 finished up just 0.1%, while the dollar fell 0.5% after nearly reaching 100 on the DXY. Treasury yields remain a major macro signal, with the 10-year yield up 1.1% for the week and the 30-year yield reaching its highest level since 2007. Gold dropped 1.2%, and I'm watching $4,265 as an important potential entry level. Silver declined 1.5% after rejection near $72, with $61.50 to $62.50 looking more attractive to me. I also cover GDX, PSLV and SILJ, including the technical levels where I would consider adding exposure.

Energy is where the action really picked up. WTI surged 9.3% after breaking out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, while Brent gained 8.6%. Natural gas rose 2.6%, and Pacific and Atlantic thermal coal are challenging major resistance levels. Met coal delivered an impressive 16% weekly move and closed around $275 per ton. I also examine copper and COPX, uranium through SRUUF and URNM, plus XLE, FCG, platinum, palladium, nickel and PICK. Across these markets, I'm looking for disciplined entries rather than chasing strength, using moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, support zones and limit orders to identify where the next higher-probability opportunities may emerge.
