Commodities and Equities Align as Markets Finish the Month in the Green

Welcome to the Monthly Wrap for January 2026 with The Contrarian Capitalist

6 small bits of housekeeping

1. Due to contract expirations with LiveSquawk, Chris Stadele will not be participating in today’s video or any other mid-month/end-month macro videos moving forwards. It has been a pleasure working with Chris and I wish him all the best moving forwards.

2. This video was recorded PM on Friday 30th January 2026 after market close.

3. The chart deck was inserted after market close on Friday 30th January 2026.

4. Please do provide feedback as I want to be able to add as much value as possible.

5. NB - None of this is to be constituted as investment or trading advice. We are NOT financial advisors.

6. Paid subscribers receive high-conviction written research, weekly commodity and market wraps with clear traffic-light signals, and early access to podcasts and bonus macro insights, all designed to support capital protection and asymmetric opportunity spotting.

Chart Deck

The traffic light system has now been adopted to the Monthly Chart deck and the 20, 50, 100 & 200-day moving averages have also been included.
