Throughout history, few investments have rivaled investing in gold for popularity as a hedge against many economic problems, from inflation, to economic upheaval or currency fluctuations, to war.

When you think about investing in gold, don’t restrict yourself to just buying physical gold, like coins or bullion. Alternatives to invest in gold include buying shares of gold mining companies or gold Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). You can also invest in gold by trading options and futures contracts.

Physical Gold

Investing in physical gold can be challenging for investors more accustomed to trading stocks and bonds online. When it comes to physical gold, you’ll generally be interacting with dealers outside of traditional brokerages, and you’ll likely need to pay for storage and obtain insurance for your investment. The three main options to invest in physical gold are bullion, coins and jewelry.

Buying Gold Miner Stocks

Companies that specialize in mining and refining will also profit from a rising gold price. Investing in these types of companies can be an effective way to profit from gold, and can also carry lower risk than other investment methods.

Investing in Gold ETFs

Investing in gold ETFs  can provide you with exposure to gold’s long-term stability while offering more liquidity than physical gold and more diversification than individual gold stocks. There are a range of different types of gold funds. Some are passively managed index funds that track industry trends or the price of bullion using futures or options.

An investor can also invest  in ETFs that hold a basket of gold mining stocks. An example is the VanEck God Miners ETF (GDX.NYSE) which holds many of the major gold mining producers.  For investors wanting to be more aggressive and buy ore speculative mining companies, the VanEck Junior Gold Miner ETF (GDXJ.NYSE) is available.

Markets Rallying Into Resistance

Market Summary – May 1, 2025

US stocks extended their rally Thursday:

  • S&P 500 rose 0.6% to 5,604.14, marking its 8th straight gain.
  • Dow Jones added 0.2% to 40,752.96.
  • Nasdaq surged 1.5% to 17,710.74, erasing April’s losses.

Microsoft jumped 9% after posting $70B in revenue, with strong AI-fueled cloud growth. Meta also beat expectations with a 16% YoY revenue gain and plans to ramp up AI capex.

Positive Big Tech earnings eased investor concerns about April’s market volatility sparked by Trump’s tariff threats.

S&P 500 Analysis: Nearing Resistance

In our latest Trend Letter outlook, we flagged 5,500–5,700 as key near-term resistance, with 5,800 as a structural cap.

Recent Price Action

  • Monday–Tuesday: Index reclaimed 5,500
  • Thursday: Closed at 5,604 – just 96 points below 5,700

Key Resistance Levels

  • 5,700–5,800:
    • 5,700 = 50% Fib retracement + March swing low
    • 5,746 = 200-day MA
    • 5,800 = March high

Catalysts & Risks

  • Bull Case: A breakthrough on tariffs could push the S&P beyond 5,800
  • Bear Risks:
    • Major resistance zone at 5,750–5,800
    • Sticky inflation: Q1 core PCE rose to 3.5% (vs. 2.6% in Q4 2024)
    • Tech valuations stretched – earnings must keep delivering

 Be very cautious buying stocks in the 5,700–5,800 zone.

Gold: Pullback in Progress

Gold dropped to $3,233/oz, a two-week low.

Drivers of the Decline:

  • Trade deal speculation reduced safe-haven demand
  • Rising USD pressured global buyers
  • Overbought conditions triggered profit-taking

As we warned in our April 21st update, gold is now hitting the top of two intersecting long-term channels—just like it did before its late-2022 low. This could mark a short-term top.

Support Levels to Watch:

  • Initial: $3,200
    • Deeper: $2,960 and $2,850

We believe a pullback here could set up a strong buying opportunity.

Bitcoin: Key Resistance Ahead

Bitcoin has rallied over 30% off its April low of ~$74K, now trading above $96K.

  • Cleared resistance at $92.5K
  • Next levels: $100K and all-time high at $108K

Momentum is strong, but BTC is nearing key psychological and technical resistance

Bitcoin has rebounded impressively from its April low of around $74,000, marking a 30% surge. It has now pushed through key resistance at $92.5K, which was a very strong previous support level.  The next resistance level is $100K and then its all-time high at $108K.

The S&P 500 is nearing our projected near-term top. Are you ready for what’s next?

Our Trend Letter and Technical Trader teams have consistently helped investors navigate tops and bottoms — and now, with the S&P 500 approaching the 5700–5800 zone we forecasted, it’s time to prepare.

Markets Slide as Political Turmoil Erodes Confidence

/in , , , , /by

Global equities tumbled Monday, driven by political instability, policy uncertainty, and rising trade tensions. Trump’s threat to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell further undermined confidence in the Fed’s independence and the broader US financial system.

The S&P 500 heatmap was a sea of red, with Netflix a rare bright spot. Major tech names led the decline: Tesla (-5.75%), Nvidia (-4.51%), Salesforce (-4.45%), and Meta (-3.51%).

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

For the S&P 500, initial resistance is at 5,500 (lower red horizontal line); a break above that opens the door to 5,700 (upper red horizontal line). Support sits just under 5,000 (upper green horizontal line), with 4,800 (lower green horizontal line) as a key weekly level to watch.

Any positive trade deal headlines could spark a bounce this week, but further US–China escalation would cap upside potential. The longer uncertainty lingers, the greater the damage to the global economy, and declining business and consumer confidence is a long-term drag on equities.

For short-term traders, a dip to  5000 could trigger a bounce, but any rebound is likely capped at 5400.

Bond Yields Rising

Yields jumped on inflation fears, declining foreign demand, and policy chaos:

  • Tariff Shock: Trump’s April 2 tariffs first triggered recession fears, then inflation worries—pushing yields higher.
  • Foreign Selling: China and Japan cut Treasury purchases, while weak auctions and hedge fund deleveraging sent the 10-year yield to 4.5% intraday (April 8). Many allies, frustrated with Trump, see little reason to back U.S. debt.
  • Economic Risk: Higher yields threaten U.S. debt servicing ($37T) and consumer borrowing, deepening financial stress.

Flight to Safety

Gold hit a fresh all-time high at $3,422, now up 31% year-to-date, on pace for its best annual gain since 1979. Though technically overbought, it remains the go-to safe-haven. Trade war fears are driving investors, hedge funds, and central banks to unload US assets and pile into gold.

The primary retail buyers are in Asia.

Looking back to gold’s 2011 high, we see it trading within two parallel channels. The last time we saw intersecting channel, it marked a major low in late 2022 (lower white circle).

With the lines crossing again near current levels (upper white circle), this could signal a potential short-term top. A meaningful pullback from here could present a solid buying opportunity.

Bitcoin Rallies as Dollar Slides

Bitcoin posted its strongest day in weeks, fueled by a combination of macro pressures and renewed institutional interest. Confidence in traditional assets took a hit as Trump’s attacks on the Federal Reserve and its leadership weakened the US dollar, driving investors toward Bitcoin as a hedge. Meanwhile, institutional demand picked up, highlighted by Japan’s Metaplanet buying 330 additional BTC and strong inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs.

Bitcoin is now testing initial resistance at $88.3K, with major resistance at $92.5K – the same level that served as strong support from November through December.

Keep your head on a swivel  – this is far from over!

Stay tuned!

Markets Rally, Bonds Break, Gold Soars—What You Need to Know

/in , , , /by

Markets End Volatile Week with a Strong Rebound – April 11, 2025

Markets capped a wild week with a strong finish, shrugging off trade war shocks and riding a wave of optimism:

  • Stocks Bounce Back: After days of volatility, the Dow surged 600 points (+1.6%), the S&P 500 climbed 1.8%—its best week since October 2023—and the Nasdaq jumped 2.1%, led by a tech resurgence.
  • Trade War Tensions: Markets were rattled by China’s retaliatory tariffs of up to 125% and President Trump’s aggressive 145% hikes on Chinese imports. Yet, solid bank earnings and cooling inflation helped restore investor confidence.
  • Flight to Safety: Gold soared to a record high as a safe-haven play, while 10-year Treasury yields surged to 4.53%, approaching multi-decade highs.
  • Tech Leads Recovery: Mega-cap tech stocks including Nvidia, Microsoft, and Tesla staged a strong rebound after Thursday’s sharp selloff.

Despite intense geopolitical and market pressure, Wall Street closed the week with notable strength, showing surprising resilience.  ​The  S&P 500’s performance for the week ending, was its strongest since November 2023. Here is today’s heat map:

How 145% Tariffs on Chinese Imports Could Shock U.S. Consumers

With over 70% of key consumer goods like smartphones, furniture, and video games sourced from China, tariffs could trigger sharp price hikes across everyday essentials.

Bond Market Flashing Red: Why Yields Are Surging Despite Stock Market Weakness

There’s a notable shift in Trump’s focus this term compared to his first. Back then, he constantly cited the stock market as proof of a strong economy. This time, he’s barely mentioned it.

Instead, the emphasis is on policy—tax cuts, deregulation, spending restraint—and notably, lower borrowing costs. His Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, has made it clear: the goal is to bring down the 10-year Treasury yield.

But the market isn’t cooperating.

The 10-year yield, which dipped to 3.7% on April 4, has surged to nearly 4.5%—an 80 basis point jump in just one week. That’s the opposite of what Trump and Bessent want. Rising yields suggest the bond market expects higher inflation, even as economic growth slows—a recipe for stagflation.

Stagflation puts the Fed in a tough spot. Cutting rates could fuel inflation, but rising yields make borrowing more expensive for consumers, businesses, and the government.

So why are bonds selling off while stocks are falling? Isn’t the bond market supposed to be a safe haven?

The first part of the answer  answer lies in the scale of US borrowing. The government needs to issue $7–8 trillion in new debt this year to fund ongoing deficits and refinance maturing debt. With annual deficits exceeding $2 trillion and total debt above $37 trillion, supply is overwhelming demand.

Layer in the geopolitical angle: the US and China are in a full-blown trade war. China—America’s second-largest foreign bondholder—has leverage. If China were to start selling US Treasuries while the US is issuing trillions more, bond prices would plunge and yields would spike.

Plus, many US allies aren’t exactly eager to support bond auctions while facing tariffs of their own. Why help fund a government that’s targeting your economy?

If yields continue climbing toward 5% or higher, it could spell serious trouble for the US economy—and likely drag the stock market down with it.

Gold Surges to New Highs as Safe Haven Demand Soars

Gold is ripping higher—up $70 today to a fresh all-time high of $3,250.

Just last week, it dipped to $2,970 during a broad market panic that triggered liquidation across all assets—gold included. It was a classic case of the baby getting thrown out with the bathwater. But that selloff didn’t last. Investors quickly stepped back and asked: What are the real safe haven plays right now?

Treasuries? The yen? Neither offer the confidence they once did. Bitcoin has been trading more like a tech stock than a store of value. That leaves gold—and it’s showing why it still holds safe-haven status.

Notably, gold doesn’t look like a crowded trade. COT data last Friday showed net-long positions at year-over-year lows, a bullish contrarian signal.

Yes, gold is expensive relative to other assets:

  • The gold/oil ratio is at 53:1 (vs. a historical average of ~20:1).
  • The gold/silver ratio has ballooned to 103:1 (vs. a long-term norm around 50–60:1).

But these extreme ratios reflect deep global uncertainty. The West’s seizure of Russian reserves and removal from SWIFT showed that financial infrastructure can be weaponized. That sent a clear message to countries like China, Russia, and Iran: don’t trust the West—buy gold.

Add in today’s escalating trade wars and rising geopolitical risk, and it’s no surprise that central banks are aggressively adding to their gold reserves. Retail investors are following suit, looking for a hedge amid global turmoil.

Key levels to watch:

  • Resistance: $3,300
  • Initial support: $3,050
  • Major support: $2,960 (last week’s low)

For now, gold remains in a strong uptrend. It may pause or consolidate, but there’s little to support a bear case in the near term.

Markets Tumble as Tariff Shock Sparks Global Selloff

/in , , , /by

Global stock markets suffered a steep crash today after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, triggering one of the worst trading days in years.

Major Index Losses

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 4%, shedding 1,680 points — its steepest single-day drop since 2020.
  • S&P 500 sank 4.8%, approaching correction territory.
  • Nasdaq Composite plunged 6%, officially entering correction territory with a 16.8% decline from its December peak.

Sector-Wide Selloff

  • Tech stocks led the rout:
    • Apple fell 9.3%
    • Amazon dropped 9.04%
    • Nvidia slid 7.78%
  • Retail stocks were hammered due to tariff exposure:
    • Restoration Hardware collapsed 40.1%
    • Nike fell 14.4%
    • Target declined 10.8%
  • Financials took a major hit as recession fears surged:
    • Bank of America dropped 11.1%
    • American Express fell 9.9%

Technical Analysis of S&P 500

The S&P 500 closed today at 5397, landing precisely on our previously identified support level (green horizontal line). The next 24 hours will be critical — if this level holds, we could see a short-term relief rally. However, the path of least resistance remains lower, with the next significant support zone down at 5245 (yellow horizontal line).

Markets absolutely hate uncertainty, and in this case, Trump’s tariff announcement has likely increased it, not reduced it. Some reasons why?

Mixed Signals

While the tariffs were announced with strong rhetoric, Trump also said he’s open to negotiation. That creates ambiguity. Are the tariffs a firm policy? A bargaining chip? A first move in a longer game? Investors don’t know — and uncertainty leads to risk-off behavior.

Potential for Escalation

Other nations might retaliate, which could trigger a full-blown trade war. The market is pricing in not just what has happened, but what could spiral out from it.

Timing Matters

Markets were already jittery — the Nasdaq had already been sliding — and this announcement poured gasoline on a smoldering fire. Investors are now grappling with the possibility of higher inflation, slower global trade, and a potential recession.

We do not have a crystal ball, nor does anyone else. That is why we rely on the charts and our models. We use technical analysis to tell us the most likely support and resistance levels and right now, we’re sitting at the first major test. If 5397 breaks down decisively, we’re looking to the next key support level at 5245 for signs of stabilization.

Gold surged to an all-time high earlier in the session, fueled by safe-haven demand in response to President Trump’s aggressive tariff announcement. But as the session wore on, many investors took profits, prompting a reversal in prices after the sharp rally.

Selling the Baby with the Bathwater

The broader market meltdown triggered margin calls and liquidity stress for leveraged investors. In such scenarios, gold — being one of the most liquid assets — is often sold to cover losses elsewhere. This forced selling contributed to gold’s intraday decline.

While gold usually benefits from economic and geopolitical uncertainty, today’s pullback appears to be more about short-term volatility than any fundamental shift in sentiment. We continue to view gold as structurally strong and expect it to remain resilient in the coming months.

Technical View

From a technical standpoint, we’re watching for gold to retest the upper boundary of its uptrend channel (red diagonal line) — a former resistance level that now serves as support. It’s likely gold will test this level multiple times, and if it eventually breaks below, we’ll be watching for the next key supports at $3,000 (green horizontal line) and then $2,950 (yellow horizontal line).

Oil prices tumbled sharply today, driven by a combination of demand concerns and unexpected supply increases — creating a ‘double whammy’ for energy markets.

  1. Recession Fears Fueled by Tariffs

Trump’s sweeping new tariffs have stoked fears of a global economic slowdown. A weaker global economy typically leads to reduced energy consumption, placing downward pressure on oil demand.

  1. Surprise OPEC+ Production Hike

OPEC+ added fuel to the selloff by announcing a larger-than-expected output increase of 411,000 barrels per day starting in May. The move caught markets off guard and raised concerns about a potential supply glut.

  1. Rising U.S. Crude Inventories

The Energy Information Administration reported a 6.2 million barrel rise in U.S. crude inventories last week — a sign of weaker domestic demand that further weighed on market sentiment.

Technical View for Oil

Oil closed the day at $66.95, sitting directly at its previously established strong support level (green horizontal line). This marks the seventh time oil has tested this support. With each additional test, the likelihood of this support level breaking increases, as repeated testing tends to weaken the strength of a support zone over time.

Market Recovery or Temporary Relief? Key Insights on S&P 500 & Gold

/in , , /by

The S&P 500 closed higher for the second consecutive day, marking a positive turn after four weeks of negative results. The index rose 0.6% to 5,675.12, showing signs of recovery after entering correction territory last week. However, Tesla and Nvidia bucked the trend, with Tesla down 5.36% to $236.55 and Nvidia down 1.98% to $119.27.

Key drivers included weaker-than-expected retail sales data, which raised expectations for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year. Investors are also closely watching the Fed’s two-day meeting starting Tuesday, where rates are expected to remain unchanged.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500:

The S&P 500 successfully pushed through and closed above its previous support level at 5670. This marks the first test of the current rally. The next challenge will be to surpass the early January low at 5775 (red horizontal line), which is expected to present stronger resistance.

These tests are crucial in determining whether this rally represents a ‘buy the dip’ recovery or a ‘sell the rip’ dead cat bounce. Previously, when the S&P 500 was trending within its upward channel, declines within the channel offered ‘buy the dip’ opportunities. However, with the index now below that channel, any bounce must demonstrate strength by breaking through key resistance levels to avoid the risk of further downside.

It’s important to note that losing support at 5,670 has left the S&P 500 vulnerable to potentially testing its next key support level just under 5,400.

Gold Update:

Gold has experienced an impressive surge over the past two and a half years, climbing 85% since November 2022. Currently, it is testing the upper boundary of its uptrend channel (white circle), which suggests that this resistance level is likely to hold. As a result, a pullback or consolidation appears probable. Such a correction would be a healthy development for gold, allowing it to build momentum and gather strength for its next potential move higher.

Navigate Market Volatility with Confidence

The current market environment presents both challenges and opportunities for investors. As we navigate through this period of uncertainty, it’s crucial to stay informed and make strategic decisions.

Trump’s Victory Fuels Market Frenzy: Today’s Charts

/in , , , , /by

The S&P 500 soars: The stock market skyrocketed with Trump’s victory and the Republicans securing the Senate and poised to claim the House.

Bitcoin soars to new high: Bitcoin surged past $75,000, driven by Trump’s pledge to establish the US as a leading crypto hub. This rally reflects heightened investor optimism around a potential crypto-friendly regulatory environment under the new administration.

US Dollar blasts higher: The dollar marked its strongest day since 2022 on a strong stock market and rising yields.

Bank stocks rally: Bank stocks soared as investors anticipated deregulation and economic growth under the new administration. Major institutions saw substantial gains, with JPMorgan Chase leading the way, up 13% today.

Gold falls: With a huge rally in the US dollar, gold got clobbered, down 73.00 for the day.

Bond market turmoil: While Trump’s policies are welcomed by the stock market, the bond market is reacting less favorably. Expectations of lower tax revenues and higher government spending point to rising deficits and ballooning debt. As inflation expectations climb, the value of fixed-income investments erodes, pushing investors to demand higher yields, which drives bond prices down. This dynamic reflects concerns over inflation and fiscal imbalances under the new administration.

Green stocks get hammered: Companies in the green energy sector saw sharp declines, with solar stocks such as Sunnova Energy plummeting—Sunnova dropped a staggering 51% today. This sell-off underscores investor concerns about reduced environmental policy support under Trump’s administration, casting uncertainty over the future of renewable energy initiatives.

Market insights: This political landscape gives Trump significant leeway to implement his pro-business agenda—lower taxes and reduced regulations—which investors see as fuel for market growth and economic expansion. The rally reflects Wall Street’s optimism about a policy environment favoring corporate earnings and business-friendly reforms.

The S&P 500 dip:  The first weekly decline after six gains suggests a potential bounce next week, though election volatility could bring market jitters, especially if results are delayed.

US Election Countdown: With just 10 days until the election, markets leaning toward a Trump victory due to his pro-deregulation stance, seen as favorable for business.

Rising Bond Yields: Concerns about persistent inflation are pushing bond yields higher, limiting room for Fed rate cuts. The Bank of Canada cut rates by 50 bps to 3.75%, and the ECB by 25 bps to 3.4%, contrasting with the Fed’s 5%.

Rising Mortgage Rates: Contrary to expectations, mortgage rates are rising, tracking higher bond yields despite the Fed’s September rate cut.

US Dollar Surge: Up 4% since late September, the dollar’s strength reflects robust US economic data, solidifying it as the “least ugly” currency in uncertain times.

Canadian Dollar Weakness: As the Bank of Canada cuts more aggressively, the loonie falters amid Canada’s weaker economic outlook.

Homebuilder Setbacks: Rising mortgage rates weigh on homebuilder stocks.

Gold Near Highs: Gold is nearing new highs with its RSI around 70 (bottom of chart), signaling potential overbought conditions and a possible pullback.

Why the Bond Market Fears Inflation Despite Fed Rate Cut?

/in , , , , /by

Why Retail Investors Should Pay Attention to the Bond Market

Many retail investors overlook the bond market, dismissing it as too complex or less exciting than stocks. However, bonds hold the key to understanding broader economic trends, especially interest rate movements. Ignoring them means missing out on critical insights that could enhance your investment decisions

The Unexpected Rise in Long-Term Rates

On September 18, 2024, the US Federal Reserve announced a significant 50-basis-point rate cut, the first since July 2023. Typically, rate cuts are designed to lower borrowing costs, leading to a drop in bond yields. However, this time, the opposite happened—interest rates on 10-year bonds went up, not down. So, why are these longer-term rates rising?

The impact was also felt in the real estate sector. The 30-year US mortgage rate jumped back to 6.69%, a surprise to many who expected lower mortgage rates following the Fed’s rate cut. This spike has left homeowners and real estate professionals rethinking their expectations.

Why Inflation Expectations Are Rising

To understand why bond yields and mortgage rates are rising, we need to look at the underlying factors driving these movements. One major reason is long-term inflation expectations. While the Fed may believe inflation is under control, the bond market seems to think otherwise. One of the key reasons why is related to soaring government deficits:

  1. Reckless Government Spending: The US government’s increasing debt levels mean more bonds are issued, leading to a flood of new supply.
  2. Replacing Maturing Bonds: New bonds must be issued to replace those that are maturing, adding more supply.
  3. Funding New Debt: Continued high levels of government spending require new bonds to finance the debt, driving yields higher as investors demand more to take on increased risk.

Since the debt ceiling was suspended on June 2, 2023, the US has added a whopping $4.3 trillion to its debt total, with national debt fast approaching $36 trillion. To put it into perspective, the $600 billion increase over the last two months is nearly three times the annual budget of NASA.

Navigating the Current Investment Landscape

Clearly, the bond market is sending a warning signal: inflation is not as controlled as we might like to believe, and expectations are that it will continue to rise. As inflation erodes the purchasing power of the dollar, many investors are turning to alternative assets like gold and Bitcoin.  Gold closed at a new all-time high today.

These assets offer a limited supply, making them less susceptible to devaluation. Unlike paper dollars, governments cannot print new gold or bitcoins out of thin air, which is why they remain popular as inflation hedges.
