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. The Cornerstone of Industrial Development In 2026, gold and silver prices have hit record hi
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 - 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
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
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
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.

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.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Gold prices fell sharply during the Asian session on Tuesday (February 17), breaking below $4,900 and currently trading around $4,900 per ounce. The sharp decline was attributed to the closure of US markets on Monday for Presidents' Day and the Chinese New Year holiday, resulting in thin trading liquidity. 2. $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Technical Analysis: After experiencing significant volatility, gold prices have entered a high-level consolidation phase.

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.

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ The daily chart for gold prices shows the upward trend remains intact. As long as gold prices hold above the 20-day moving average (MA, 4957.36), the market structure remains bullish, and bulls are targeting higher prices. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is significantly above the midline, indicating a bullish bias; the MACD histogram is narrowing in negative territory, showing that bearish momentum is gradually weakening. On the upside, if gold can continue to recover and hold above the $5100 level, it may accelerate towards the January 30 high of $5450.95.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Gold Technical Analysis $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ Gold prices continue to fluctuate between $5000 and $5100, failing to break through the top/bottom of this range and awaiting a new catalyst. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), while bullish, is converging towards neutral levels. This suggests that sellers are limiting further price increases. If gold breaks through $5100, it could rise further to $5200, subsequently potentially challenging the January 30 high of $5451 and approaching the all-time high of $5600. Currently, gold is in a wide-range consolidation phase, making this market more suitable for short-term trading. Pay close attention to the NFP data today! Continue
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
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
After a near-vertical rally, gold and silver were finally “punished” last Friday, with both plunging sharply in a single day. Silver, measured from its peak, even suffered a drawdown close to being cut in half. After such a violent round-trip, do ordinary investors still have a viable trading opportunity? From a volatility standpoint, the current environment is no longer suitable for the vast majority of retail and traditional precious-metals traders. Moves that used to take a full year can now happen in a single day or within a week. This kind of irrational volatility also means the old stop-loss logic and methods stop working. Whether you try to buy the dip or fade a rebound, there’s a high probability you’ll get stopped out. And if someone dares to skip a stop-loss to avoid getting wic

If there’s one clear focus in the futures market recently, it’s undoubtedly silver.But today, let’s take a step back from silver and zoom out for a broader perspective: Does the recent surge in gold and silver signal the start of a bull market in base metals?
