This week's Monday Market Moves begins with Steve Barton examining the S&P 500's post triple witching behavior alongside movements in the dollar, Treasury yields, and volatility. He explains how elevated volume tied to contract rollovers distorts short term signals while underlying momentum remains intact. The dollar firms against other currencies but faces heavy resistance, yields pull back within a longer-term downtrend, and market complacency stays elevated as risk appetite holds firm. From there the focus shifts to precious metals where gold pushes into new highs in futures, silver accelerates sharply with signs of overheating, and miners move higher as capital rotates toward hard assets.

The episode then works through the broader commodity complex with copper consolidating near record levels, uranium strengthening as spot prices lag term contracts, and energy showing mixed signals. Crude oil breaks recent lows within a longer downtrend while equities remain historically cheap, natural gas weakens below key averages, and coal continues to build a base with selective breakouts. Platinum and palladium deliver outsized gains but flash overbought conditions, nickel stabilizes below production costs, and Bitcoin struggles within a developing bear flag. Steve closes by responding to viewer questions, discussing portfolio positioning, and previewing upcoming live events and educational content for committed investors.
