Crypto News: Uncertainty hits investors in the Crypto market as Bitcoin stalls and War rises in the middle east. Trump Media gets SEC Approval for share sell to buy Bitcoin.Show Sponsor -

Craig Hemke, Founder & Editor TF Metals Report, joins us for his weekly editorial to break down the latest moves in the U.S. Dollar, the precious metals sector, and positioning in the silver market.   Key Themes Covered: U.S. Dollar Breakdown: With the DXY falling below 98, approaching multi-year lows, Craig discusses how this weakness acts as a tailwind for precious metals and broader commodities. He outlines the inverse tick-for-tick trading patterns between the dollar and gold, especially during key Fed events. Silver COT Warning Signs: Despite silver pushing above $36, Craig flags caution based on the CoT (Commitment of Traders) report positioning. Speculative interest may be topping out, creating the potential for a pullback tied to July contract expirations and positioning rollovers. Gold/Silver Ratio Outlook: While some traders use the gold-silver ratio to toggle exposure, Craig remains focused on fundamental and technical price action. He wouldn't be surprised to see the ratio revisit 100 before silver regains momentum. Silver Stocks Divergence: We analyze the recent disconnect between silver prices and the underperformance of silver equities like SIL and SILJ, even amid record volume. Craig discusses how shallow market depth and investor skepticism may still be suppressing upside despite stronger silver pricing. Gold's Long-Term Drivers: With central banks continuing to add to gold reserves and global debt exploding (e.g., $116,000/second added to U.S. debt in May alone), Craig emphasizes that fiat devaluation remains the core bullish case for gold in the years ahead.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Tomás Goulart, Sarah Campos e Victor Ary debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo.⁠ ⁠ No cenário internacional, foram divulgados números de inflação nos EUA, abaixo da expectativa, tanto para bens, quanto para serviços; e de emprego - os pedidos de auxílio-desemprego novamente vieram acima do esperado. No contexto geopolítico, Israel realizou o que chamou de ataque preventivo a instalações nucleares e militares no Irã, que já respondeu ao ataque e ameaça retaliação adicional. ⁠ No Brasil, o Galípolo reforçou que a mensagem principal do Copom está contida na ata. Em termos de dados econômicos, o IPCA de maio veio melhor que o esperado, inclusive nos núcleos; a PMC um pouco mais fraca, e a PMS em linha com a expectativa. O cenário político também esteve conturbado ao longo da semana: após publicação de MP pelo governo, propondo medidas compensatórias diferentes das anunciadas anteriormente, o presidente da Câmara pautou urgência para derrubada do decreto do IOF; e o STF pediu explicações sobre a existência de “emendas paralelas”, gerando atrito na relação com o Congresso. ⁠ No mercado de crédito, a semana também foi marcada por maior demanda nos mercados primário e secundário, com volume de negociação elevado, e R$16 bi de emissões primárias – além de um pipeline robusto para a próxima semana, que também tende a ser influenciado, nas próximas semanas, por uma antecipação do mercado à possível aprovação da MP 1.303/2025 e taxação de diversos instrumentos hoje isentos. ⁠ Nos EUA, os juros fecharam (vértice de 5 anos -12 bps), o dólar (DXY) enfraqueceu 1,06% e as bolsas tiveram desempenho negativo – S&P500 -0,39%, Nasdaq -0,60% e Russell 2000 -1,49%. No Brasil, os juros também fecharam (jan/29 -20 bps), o Ibovespa subiu 0,82% e o real +0,30%. O petróleo subiu 13%. ⁠ Na próxima, será importante acompanhar os dados de varejo nos EUA, além das decisões do Fed e do Copom. ⁠ Não deixe de conferir!⁠

USD overweight exposure is now normalizing Even as equities have rallied substantially from April lows, recovery in the dollar index, or DXY, has underwhelmed and the currency sits near the lowest level it's been in three years. Alex Cohen believes that while there are cyclical reasons for the dollar weakness, there's also been a bigger structural rethink on the currency by investors from the push toward de-globalization and from questions around US exceptionalism. Alex sees German fiscal reforms as a game changer, another dollar negative. But our own survey shows very negative sentiment for the dollar, which is relevant to the short term. Mark Cabana contributes with a discussion of rates given the important interplay between the Treasuries and currencies. Mark believes that there has been a shift away from US Treasuries by global investors, although a lot of this recent shift is a function of investors reducing their overweight position rather than getting outright negative. Mark also discusses debt sustainability concerns and how budget negotiations may impact bonds going forward.

Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armor Wealth Strategies, joins me for his monthly market insights, focusing on short to mid-term momentum trading strategies.   We begin by revisiting the gold trade, where Jim explains how he capitalized on the rally up to $3,500 before rotating from the metal into GDX. While the gold trade proved successful, miners have yet to deliver. Jim outlines the technical levels he's watching for GDX and shares how sentiment among clients is rising sharply for gold, potentially signaling a shift in long-term allocations.   The conversation then broadens to the U.S. equity markets. Although his short at SPY $550 initially worked, he was stopped out on the reversal. He now takes a more cautious stance, waiting for a breakout above SPY $600 to re-engage.   We also cover: Sector outlooks: Tech surging, healthcare struggling, financials breaking out Oil breakdown: Why Jim has favored short positions and the key resistance to watch U.S. dollar bounce: A contrarian long trade off April lows targeting DXY 104–105 Reduced position sizing: With momentum fading, Jim is sitting on more cash and focusing on selective entries   For ongoing updates from Jim Tassoni, click here.
