Gold and silver are breaking decade highs as markets front-run September cuts.

At the same time, Shanghai’s +36% YTD rally shows household deposits rotating into equities, even as fundamentals lag.

Flows are shifting, volatility is low, and dry powder remains.

Key Report Insights:

  1. Bearish Oil: Hedge funds slash longs as OPEC+ boosts supply

  2. Silver Breakout: 14-year base cleared, eyes $43 then ATHs

  3. Gold Tailwind: Jackson Hole + weak jobs lift cut odds

  4. China Flows: Shanghai +36% YTD as households rotate in

  5. Bubble Risk: Profits +1.6% YoY vs +16.9% price rally


1. Market Overview:

A. The Fading Premium:

Crypto treasuries trade below 1x NAV—except MSTR, still at 1.34x. Its moat? Track record and first-mover status.

The next catalyst: potential SPX inclusion, which could boost volume, cut dilution, attract inflows, and fuel more BTC accumulation.

B. China’s Record Inflow:

Shanghai Composite is up +35% YoY on a domestic rally.

Local investors are piling in with record margin trading—clear evidence of resurgent risk-on sentiment.

C. Oil’s Headwind:

Hedge funds have cut longs to 24,225 lots while shorts climb.

OPEC+ is signaling higher output, and Trump’s Russia export threat hasn’t materialized—both easing supply pressure.

With oversupply fears dominant and no new geopolitical shocks, oil faces further downside.
