SLV — WATCH The author expects the BCOM rebalancing starting around Jan 8-10 to force passive funds to sell over $5B in silver futures, with TD Securities projecting 13% of Comex silver open interest sold in two weeks, causing a likely sharp short-term pullback. He says silver will get hit harder and advises watching for volatility next week. Low post-holiday liquidity could make the move even wilder.
a major Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) rebalancing starting next week is set to force ~$5B in silver sales and ~$6B in gold potentially causing a nasty short-term dip, especially in silver.
GLD — LONG The author maintains a long-term bullish view on gold, citing expected Fed rate cuts that support non-yielding metals, potential USD weakness, ongoing central bank buying, and safe-haven demand from geopolitical risks. These fundamentals are expected to keep pushing gold higher through 2026.
