Recorded on 3-13-2026. I begin with the S&P 500, which moved lower during the week and is starting to show signs of technical weakness as volatility rises and the U.S. dollar strengthens. With bond yields climbing and investors becoming more cautious, I discuss why the short-term outlook for equities may remain pressured and where the next potential support zones could emerge if selling continues.
From there I move through the major commodity markets and highlight the technical setups forming across the sector. Gold has started to soften after a strong run while silver and mining stocks are showing more pronounced downside momentum. Copper remains under pressure as it drifts toward longer-term moving averages, uranium equities are approaching levels that could create new buying opportunities, and energy markets remain highly sensitive to geopolitical developments. I also touch on natural gas momentum, coal's reaction to broader energy trends, weakness developing in platinum and palladium, a tightening consolidation pattern forming in nickel, and the short-term technical picture for Bitcoin as it trades near important resistance levels.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 fell 1.6%, showing a potential topping pattern
✅ VIX rising as market uncertainty increases
✅ U.S. dollar up 1.7% as investors seek safety
✅ Gold down 1.9% after breaking a bear flag
✅ Silver down 3.5%, signaling further weakness
✅ Copper down 0.9%, trending toward the 200-day average
✅ Uranium mostly flat, equities drifting toward support
✅ Oil surged 8.6% on geopolitical tensions
✅ Natural gas down 1.7% but still in an uptrend
✅ Coal mostly flat, struggling at resistance
✅ Platinum & palladium down ~5%, bearish setups forming
✅ Nickel forming a bullish pennant
✅ Bitcoin slightly down, facing resistance near key levels

Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com joins the discussion to break down the macro forces driving the precious metals market.

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series
 Recording Date 3-11-2026. Drawing on decades of research into gold and silver miners, Durrett explains why structural debt growth, global liquidity policy, and limits on Federal Reserve intervention could push investors toward precious metals during the next phase of the economic cycle.
Durrett traces the macro story from post-World War II U.S. economic dominance through the abandonment of the gold standard and the rise of globalism, deficits, and expanding debt. He argues that modern financial policy has created a system increasingly dependent on liquidity, while massive refinancing needs from deficits and Treasury rollovers are pushing the bond market toward what he calls a "hot potato" phase. According to Durrett, the Federal Reserve now faces serious constraints: aggressive monetization risks high inflation, while higher rates increase pressure across the economy. The conversation explores recession risks, declining fiscal flexibility, and the possibility of a coming market shift where the S&P 500 struggles while capital rotates into gold and mining stocks. Durrett also shares technical outlooks, including a potential gold floor near $4,500 and silver support around $72 before a possible move toward $120. He also discusses structural silver inventory deficits, potential government intervention in ETFs, and risks and opportunities for companies like Vizsla operating in Mexico.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Don Durrett explains why precious metals could rise in the coming years.
✅ Growing debt and deficits are putting pressure on the financial system.
✅ The Federal Reserve has limited options without causing inflation.
✅ A recession could push money from the S&P 500 into gold and miners.
✅ Durrett sees a possible gold floor around $4,500.
✅ Silver could retest support near $72 before moving higher.
✅ Ongoing silver shortages may create more volatility in the market.

Adrian Day, founder of Adrian Day Asset Management, joins the discussion to share his outlook on global markets, commodities, and the macro forces shaping resource investing.

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series
Recording Date 3-10-2026. The conversation covers geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, how markets typically react to conflict, and why commodities such as gold and oil often move ahead of major geopolitical events through a "buy the rumor, sell the news" dynamic. Day also discusses the current positioning of energy markets, explaining why oil stocks had already rallied prior to recent conflict risks and how supply disruptions, shipping routes, and global liquidity needs can influence commodity prices.
Adrian also explores the outlook for major commodities including gold, silver, copper, uranium, and agricultural markets. Day explains why he believes gold offers the strongest risk-reward profile due to central bank buying and limited retail participation, while copper remains attractive because of long-term supply shortages tied to electrification and infrastructure demand. Additional topics include mining costs driven by energy prices, the impact of commodity currencies such as the Canadian and Australian dollar, farmland and agriculture investments, and the broader outlook for commodity markets heading into 2026.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Geopolitical events often push gold and oil prices higher before the actual conflict occurs.
✅ Gold's recent moves are driven more by the U.S. dollar and liquidity than by war itself.
✅ Oil stocks had already risen before tensions because companies were buying back shares and paying strong dividends.
✅ Diesel and energy prices are the biggest cost factors for mining companies.
✅ Gold remains attractive due to strong central bank demand and limited retail participation.
✅ Copper is bullish long term because global supply may not meet future demand.
✅ Uranium is still a long-term opportunity but may need pullbacks before new entries.

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I walk through what happened across the markets and what I'm watching for next week as volatility rises.

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series
Recorded on 3-6-2026. I start with the S&P 500, which fell about 2% and is now showing a topping pattern after breaking a key trend line. With the VIX up sharply and the dollar strengthening as capital moves toward perceived safety, I explain why I'm leaning bearish on equities in the short term and where the next major support levels could appear if selling accelerates.
From there I break down the key commodity markets. Gold slipped slightly but continues to trade within a well-defined channel, while silver and the miners were hit harder and are forming bearish flag patterns. Copper remains weak until it can clear a previous topping tail, uranium equities are breaking down toward the 200-day moving average buy zones, and oil surged more than 35% on geopolitical tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. I also cover natural gas strength, coal's reaction to energy markets, bearish setups in platinum and palladium, bullish consolidation forming in nickel, and a short-term technical outlook for Bitcoin as it approaches resistance near the 50-day moving average.
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 fell about 2% and broke a key trend line, signaling a possible topping pattern
✅ Volatility surged with the VIX up roughly 48% as market fear increased
✅ U.S. dollar strengthened as investors moved into the reserve currency for safety
✅ Gold slipped slightly but continues to trade within a well-defined channel
✅ Silver dropped sharply and is forming a bearish flag pattern
