Key Market Levels and Mining Stocks to Watch
Do NOT chase this market today. Long bonds appear to be the current hedge in this environment. When markets build absurd momentum and price action feels completely detached from reality, there’s usually one asset that takes center stage before the reversal—and that’s gold, which hit new highs overnight.
Friday’s selloff wasn’t even a true flush. The VIX term structure remains in contango. Friday was more of a rush to protect positions than a rush to exit them entirely.
