📊 Metals Starting To Slide?

Good Morning Investors,

Leverage continues to shape trading dynamics. The expansion of leveraged ETFs and a buildup in margin debt are amplifying price swings and making markets more sensitive to shifts in sentiment. Weaker gold and base metal prices have pressured mining and exploration stocks, though rare earth producers remain active beneficiaries of policy tailwinds and geopolitical supply concerns.

Markets are balancing structural inflows from new ETF launches and earnings driven reallocation against volatility risks tied to leverage, commodity weakness, and macro headlines. ETF inflows, and sector rotations tied to energy and materials for near term direction.
