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.

  • Process over prediction: combine fundamentals with technicals; act when odds tilt in your favour.

What you’ll learn

  • How to separate geopolitical noise from genuine market catalysts.
  • Why price and money flows usually lead narratives.
  • Where I’m watching for leadership across semis, energy and metals.

The thinking shift (in plain English)

There are only two kinds of opportunities: those with a high probability of a positive outcome you can repeat, and everything else. Narrow your universe to the former and your results change — often dramatically. Simpler rules, fewer decisions, better execution.

What history shows (with important caveats)

Past cycles where leadership had genuine cashflows often persisted despite sharp corrections. That’s context, not certainty. Selection and risk controls still matter — especially when expectations stretch.

Where I’m focused now

  • Leadership & momentum: semis/large-cap tech still set the tone; watching breadth.
  • Precious metals: monitoring the gold setup for higher-probability entries; silver in tandem.
  • Selectivity over “own everything”: dispersion is high; entries, sizing and exits are the edge.
