Welcome to the Monthly Wrap for May 2025. I am delighted that Chris Stadele of
will be teaming up exclusively for the Monthly Wrap moving forwards. Chris and the Live Squawk team have a plethora of experience in the commodities sector and thus their input will add a lot of value.NB - None of this is to be constituted as investment or trading advice. We are NOT financial advisors.
NB 2 - The full chart deck (at the bottom of the post) has been made available TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS for this month
3 small bits of housekeeping
We will always try to get the monthly wrap out on the final trading day of the month, pending scheduling! Apologies in advance if future Monthly Wraps are a day or two before or after the end of the month. NB - This video was recorded just after the opening bell on Friday 30th May 2025.
We will also test different formats in the months ahead. The April Monthly Wrap looked at Chris’s chart deck. May’s Monthly Wrap looks at Rob’s chart deck.
Please do provide feedback. We want to add as much value as possible, so if there is something that you do or do not like, then please do let us know as this will help us to improve this every time we do it.
