Economic Indicators Released Overnight
Data was neutral, maybe slightly positive pending home sales but markets have no interest. 100% focused on the flip-flopping Trump and the growing pushback to the US aggrandisement .
Firmly risk-off. Trump couldn't even wait until his own near date: April 2: Wednesday.
So Gold made all time highs again, silver popped and Bitcoin didn't break down (yet). US equities pushed lower

BITCOIN / USD Daily
And suddenly, Gold's back to the ATH. In the background, all of the stories are around central banks buying, Chinese retail investors buying, Gold still moving from London to NY, no revaluation. It's all flight to safety material.
GOLD / USD Daily
Silver looking to exit the excruciatingly slow grind up in price. A clear confirmation above 35.00 and we'll see some action.
SILVER / USD Daily
The bounce in US equities was short lived, It's probably an outlier now to expect a retrace to the scene of the crime for the S&P.
S&P500 Daily
The chart of truth looks to start moving back up to 4.65% and Scott Bessent will be looking to jawbone yields back down.
