CC’s News from the week (audio + article links)

‘Stupid’ Powell held firm by not reducing interest rates. The markets pumped and dumped. Powell is in a catch 22 situation i.e. damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

China undertaking a navy drill near Japan

Iran/Israel ongoing and will likely be that way for a while

The Bank of England also held rates this week (4.25%), although it did ‘hint’ at a possible cut in August.

PLATINUM: A Deep Dive (Updated with recent charts and information)

Chris Stadele of

LiveSquawk Commodity Corner

and I recorded our first ever ‘Mid-Month Macro’ on Monday 16th June. This podcast + video has been made available for free for everyone.

2 excellent podcasts were recorded this week. The first was with Dr

Anas Alhajji

of

Energy Outlook Advisors' Newsletter

and

Daily Energy Report

. Dr Alhajji is an expert on oil, gas and middle east relations/geopolitics. Given the recent events between Israel/Iran, this podcast was aptly timed.

It was recorded on the morning on Tuesday 17th June 2025.

The other podcast was recorded with Will Tanner, co-founder of

The American Tribune

. We explored current events and then looked back into history and looked at race communism and how that is helping to destabilise the world.

Prepare to learn a lot and to quite possibly need to have a stiff drink thereafter.

Charts + Commentaries

SILVER

Silver seems like the most sensible place to start this week. People were getting slightly excited on late Tuesday/throughout Wednesday as Silver reached the dizzying heights of $37+. It edged to $37.31 on Thursday before heading back down south to settle at $36.01.

I’m not concerned by this at all. Silver, Gold, Platinum and a LOT of commodities are going much higher in the long run.

Daily and Weekly charts below

PLATINUM

Platinum is up 27.79% in 3 months.

It was up $45.88 (3.74%) this week too.

It has been on a hell of a ride, and it has woken a lot of people up. The fundamentals are strong, it is 30x rarer than gold and is more prone to supply shocks given that 70% of the supply comes from South Africa!

Weekly, Monthly and 3-month charts are below.

Now onto Gold, Palladium (could this breakout too?), the various metals ratios, Brent Crude, Copper, Nat Gas and more…….
