What even caused the crash today? The fed chair announcement?

I think so. I think the markets expected Trump to appoint a degen who would slice interest rates down to zero, and instead it's a fairly conventional pick. I imagine the reversal then caused a lot of longs leveraged to get wiped out. Insane to see this kind of volatility in precious metals!

Not sure if what i read what correct but 6 trillion was lost in market cap on gold and metal today apparently
 
It would be shocking to me if the Qs doesn't pullback to atleast $500 this year...and SPY $600. That would be a routine correction after a 3+ year bull market run. I think a bigger bear market is on the table but I am definitely biased bearish right now...which isn't easy when the market appears to only go up.

Here are the largest natural gas price drops in one trading day since 1990 (daily NG % price changes are typically heavily affected by changes in week 2-3 E US temperature anomaly forecasts from the prior trading day):

-25.7% 2/2/2026

-19.1% 3/18/2004

-17.5% 11/15/2018

-17.0% 6/30/2022

-16.7% 6/14/2022

Was yesterday’s 26% plunge way overdone in relation to progged demand drop? Of course it was! But that’s beside the point.


It’s currently up 4% for today in deadcat bounce fashion.
