The Intel Drop
Gold is parked right around $4,000 and silver keeps knocking on the door of $60 — the rally hasn't lost its shimmer, folks, it's just catching its breath.
That violent weekend in the Middle East is exactly the kind of thing that keeps a bid under the metals, and don't kid yourself — the smart money is watching it closely.
Meanwhile every eye swings back to the Fed this week; Bitcoin and XRP are both coiled up, waiting to see which way Powell blinks.
Grab your coffee — we're breaking every bit of it down on today's show.
