Buying Copper in 2026 is like Buying Bitcoin in 2009 Few understand this

Stock Market will be slow and sluggish in 2026, at least till August. Mid Feb to April there can be good correction, specially when Vedha will work between Saturn, Mars, Ketu and Mercury. So 2026 is the market for long term investment, not much of intraday trading. These are my astrological findings.

It should come as no surprise that $GC_F Gold futures opened sharply higher on elevated geopolitics, but then started trending sharply lower. The reason is "in a crisis, you sell what you can, not what you want to". Traders are selling their gold against fundamentals because they need the cash to cover margin calls on other positions. If traffic flow thru the Strait of Hormuz isn't restored this week, $250+ oil is entirely plausible in the short term, and would bring on a global economic crisis, not to mention horrific human suffering. This oil price spike is not just an emotional panic as many on X seem to think. It's a simple matter of logistics, and it has some really scary feedback loops into production shut-ins that won't be fully reversible once forced to occur. IMHO the crisis in the physical oil market is BIGGER, not smaller than most pundits seem to understand. It was previously assumed that Iran "couldn't really shut down the Strait". That proved wrong, at least for now. A LOT hangs in the balance, on the specific question of how quickly normal traffic flow can be restored. Oil wells are not like water faucets that can be turned off then turned back on at will. Once the shut-ins begin, these effects will start to be long-lasting, regardless of when the strait is restored to normal traffic flow. There's plenty of room for Gold to move MUCH lower before this is over, for the reason stated above. It will be a buy-the-dip opportunity for sure, but it could be a really big dip if exploding oil markets crash global equity markets.
