This week’s update at a glance

• Rotation, not exit. Tech and semis wobbled, but the broader market held up. That is capital moving, not capital fleeing.
• Materials are taking control. Leadership is clearly shifting toward resources, particularly in the small cap end of the market.
• Precious metals are back in focus. Gold remains strong and silver has broken out, which is often a sign the bull phase is maturing.
• Momentum rules. You do not need more opinions. You need a repeatable way to follow where t

This week’s update at a glance

• Big picture: US indices remain constructive and pullbacks are still being bought, but leadership is narrow and liquidity in the market darlings is starting to thin out.
• Macro backdrop: US inflation is on a cooling path and rate cut odds for December have lifted, coupled with very strong earnings.
• Australia: The index is steady on the surface, yet there is a clear split between strong sectors and areas where money is quietly exiting.
• The oppo...

This week’s update at a glance

• Why the “mini correction” looks done. Short, sharp selling now looks more like classic bull market shakeout than the start of a major top – with breadth and price action confirming it.
• What last week’s bounce really signals. Strong moves in the Nasdaq, semiconductors and the Russell suggest the trend is intact – but leadership is shifting under the surface.
• 2026 fund flows and the metals opportunity. Why I see the clearest path for future capital heading toward quality g

This week’s update at a glance

• Odds, not predictions: I frame the current pullback as either a valuation reset or the early stages of a deeper correction — without trying to “call the crash”.
• Leaders under pressure: high-multiple tech and semiconductors are being hit hardest, while other areas are holding up better for now.
• Breadth & small caps: what the behaviour of smaller companies and equal-weight indices suggests about the underlying trend.
• Preparation over reaction:

This week’s update at a glance

• Not the start of a crash: recent weakness is concentrated in the most expensive, crowded trades, not the whole market.
• Valuation reset in leaders: high PE technology and AI names are being re-priced after a powerful run. This is normal and healthy.
• Rotation under the surface: money is moving towards financials, energy, industrials and healthcare rather than heading entirely to cash.
• Preparation over panic: periods like this can improve entry points if you stay process-driven and manage risk.

This week’s update at a glance

• Headlines yelling “top”: the money flows show controlled pullback and rotation, not a blow-off.
• Follow price & flows: breadth and leaders still constructive vs what we typically see at major peaks.
• Rotation vs reversal: watch where strength migrates rather than assuming trend failure.
• Process over prediction: manage risk with entries, sizing and exits while sentiment resets.

This week’s update at a glance

• US–China “truce”: unlikely to shift primary drivers; markets still keying off earnings, liquidity and leadership.
• Follow flows, not headlines: semiconductors and select resources remain the cleanest tells.
• Gold watch: testing support; I want flows to confirm before leaning in.
• Process over prediction: combine fundamentals with technicals; act when odds tilt in your favour.

This week’s update at a glance

• Gold reset, not doom: pullback looks corrective; watch money flows and levels for confirmation.
• AI ≠ 2000: leadership has earnings power; volatility doesn’t equal “bubble”.
• Process over prediction: combine fundamentals with technicals; act when odds tilt in your favour.
• Market tone: US leadership intact; semis/tech firm; ASX breadth choppy but improving in parts.

This week’s update at a glance

• US swings rattled everything. Equities, bonds and metals all moved hard as volatility picked up.
• Volatility clusters can persist. I’m treating this as a regime, not a one-off spike.
• Money flows over narratives. Breadth and leadership are the tell for trend health.
• Gold & silver showed relative strength. Precious metals held up as bonds blinked.
• Risk first. I’m using staged entries, smaller initial size and defined stops until participati

This week’s update at a glance

• Friday’s reversal revived correction fears. Tariff headlines collided with a stretched tape and risk-off showed up quickly.
• Money flows over opinions. Breadth, leadership and key moving averages matter more than narratives right now.
• History context. Post-headline spikes in volatility can reset trends or become deeper pullbacks — breadth is the tell.
• Risk first. I’m using staged entries, smaller initial size and defined stops until partic
