Gold prices have risen sharply. How should we trade gold?
📣Gold news:
US Senate passes Trump tax reform bill. Trump wins major victory
Trump's signature tax and spending cuts bill passed the Senate on Tuesday. Republican leaders finally convinced dissenting lawmakers after a hard fight, helping Trump win another political victory.
Trump refuses to extend July 9 tariff deadline
US President Trump reiterated on Tuesday that he has no intention of extending the 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs on most countries after it expires on July 9.
When asked whether he would extend the suspension of tariffs, Trump replied on Air Force One: "No, I haven't thought about it. I will write to many countries to notify them of the tariff rates they will face."
Gold (XAU/USD) struggled to extend its two-day rally, fluctuating narrowly in the Asian session on Wednesday, just below Tuesday's one-week high. The dollar's slight rebound - from its lowest level since February 2022 - put pressure on gold. Moreover, improving market sentiment continues to weaken demand for safe-haven assets such as gold, further limiting its upside.

Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental Market Analysis for July 2, 2025 GBPUSDOn Wednesday, during the Asian trading session, the GBP/USD pair is trading unchanged at around 1.37450. However, dovish statements by US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and growing concerns about the budget may put pressure on the dollar in the near term. Investors are awaiting the ADP report on US employment for June, which will be released later on Wednesday, in the hope of new momentum.
Powell said on Tuesday that the US central bank would be patient about further interest rate cuts, but did not rule out a rate cut at its July meeting, although the decision would depend on incoming data. According to the CME FedWatch tool, short-term interest rate futures now price in the probability of a rate cut in July at almost 1 in 4, up from less than 1 in 5 previously.
Investors are concerned about US President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending bill, which could increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion. The bill will return to the House of Representatives for final approval. Fiscal concerns could dampen optimism and contribute to a decline in the US dollar.
As for the pound sterling, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey said last week that there are currently signs of a weakening UK labor market and stressed that interest rates are likely to continue to fall. The UK central bank is expected to cut interest rates three times by the end of 2025, bringing them to 3.5% to combat sluggish economic growth and a weakening labor market. Rate cuts are expected in August, September, and November 2025, with possible quarterly reductions.
Trading recommendation: SELL 1.37450, SL 1.37900, TP 1.36750

Can the pound-yen maintain its uptrend?Fundamental:
BoE Governor Bailey signaled potential rate cuts ahead, with markets expecting a 0.25% rate cut in Aug. Political uncertainty persists as UK PM Starmer scaled back on welfare reforms amid a party rebellion, adding to fiscal caution. Trade tensions intensified as US President Trump threatened new tariffs on Japan and demanded greater agricultural access.
Technicals:
GBPJPY retreated from recent highs following a break above the ascending channel's upper bound. If GBPJPY rebounds from the support at 196.50, the price could extend its rally to the psychological resistance at 200.00. Conversely, a break below 196.50 could prompt a decline to the following support at 193.80.

B&G Foods | BGS | Long at $4.45B&G Foods NYSE:BGS , owner of over 50 food brands including Green Giant, Ortega, Cream of Wheat, Mrs. Dash, and Crisco, has dropped nearly 92% in price since its high in 2021. Currently trading at $4.43 and with a book value of $6.43, NYSE:BGS may have some running room in the next 1-2 years for a forward P/E of 10x (currently negative, so there is anticipated growth, though small). This is another company that would greatly benefit from lowered interest rates due to its high debt-to-equity (4x).
So, while debt and consumer spending declines may pose a threat to NYSE:BGS , I believe it is currently undervalued. If the stock drops due to poor earnings (which could drop to under $2.00), I will be entering another position unless fundamental / outlook truly change.
Thus, at $4.45, NYSE:BGS is in a personal buy zone.
Targets into 2027:
$5.25
$6.25
LSAK - Monthly - Low Market Cap With High PotentialLSAK, currently boasting a low $366 million market cap, presents an intriguing investment opportunity, particularly with institutional backing from powerhouses like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, each holding over 6% of its market share. While its primary client base is in South Africa, the company's business model suggests a strong potential for continued global expansion. Lesaka Technologies has demonstrated steady annual growth since 2020, with a noticeable improvement in net income over the same period. Currently trading at a low point, LSAK is technically at a bottom, with an accumulation range between $3 and $5. As a 5 to 10-year investment, this stock is conservatively projected to reach a valuation of $14-$15 per share, with the potential for significantly higher valuations with strategic partnerships, making it an attractive option for long-term growth-oriented investors.

**What’s are some news or takeaway from today? and What major news or event impacted the market today? **
RTY and YM leading the way today
NQ lagging
Why is this?
The answer is, Simple Supply and Demand theory.
Money has to come from somewhere.
If Money is going to YM and RTY,
Money has to leave from NQ or ES or both.
There is not an infinite amount of money, So if one index is outperforming like crazy over the other. It must be draining from it
Why would it drain from NQ? Easy
Because NQ and ES already hit ATH,
YM and RTY has not hit ATH yet.
So people are selling NQ and buying YM because it is on Discount

Crypto breakouts: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana lead the surgeJune brought a wave of positive sentiment to digital assets. Despite global uncertainty, major cryptocurrencies continued their upward movement. Investors are once again turning to decentralized assets amid expectations of a Fed rate cut and an increasingly fragile macro backdrop.
Key moves this month :
• Bitcoin (#BTCUSD) +4.6% — Strengthened by a weaker dollar and renewed institutional interest. JPMorgan projects $150,000 by 2025.
• Ethereum (#ETHUSD) +3.8% — Gains on ETF optimism and rising DeFi activity.
• Solana (#SOLUSD) +6.1% — In the spotlight due to network scalability and new Web3 partnerships.
• Ripple (#XRPUSD) +2.4% — Rebounding after positive developments in the SEC case and potential global alliances.
• Dogecoin (#DOGUSD) +5.2% — Community-driven momentum and fresh public support from Elon Musk.
Underperformers:
• Litecoin (#LTCUSD) –1.8%, Cardano (#ADAUSD) –2.2% — Profit-taking and lack of new drivers weighed on prices.
• Polkadot (#DOTUSD) –3.1% — Weak on-chain metrics and fading interest in cross-chain solutions added pressure.
According to FreshForex analysts, the crypto market is entering a recovery phase. Signals from the Fed hint at upcoming rate cuts, while interest in decentralized projects and crypto ETFs is rising. Market leadership by #BTC and #ETH reflects growing confidence, while altcoins continue to follow the broader upward trend.
7/1/25 - $sbet - How I'm trading this7/1/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NASDAQ:SBET
How I'm trading this
- tl;dr, this is the first *larger* eth "treasury" attempts
- while the world is focused on AMEX:BMNR today at 10x NAV, this sits quietly at 1.5x nav
- there are two ways shareholders who would buy, say, at today's price would make an "eth yield"
- 1/ co raises debt, converts, prefs etc. any flavor and uses this to buy ETH and ETH appreciates in excess of this yield. my sense is this is more difficult "today" given the institutional view of BTC remains *hard enough* (even tho, really, it's not). but with stable coins becoming more in focus, this gives important life to eth narrative in coming cycle (more on this below)
- 2/ the mNAV is allowed to expand. if i raise at say 1.5x MNAV and then the stock appreciates toward say 3x MNAV and i raise there again to buy eth... the original holders essentially got a pro-rata distribution in excess of their initial stake. where the logic, here, fails... is that if this is your *only* way to raise $... eventually you collapse back to mnav, essentially... the inverse is also true. if you buy at 3x mnav and stock goes to 2x mnav, uh oh. it requires ever-increasing mnav. we know from BTC treasuries this might be up to 5x (mstr) and up to 10x (metaplanet) and really just depends on your story, size, mgmt, ability to raise outside of just equity etc. etc.
- now with this all being said... we look at something like AMEX:BMNR today and there are two main outcomes
- 1/ 10x mnav is too high and likely they're advantaged to raise here and dilute current shareholders to buy ETH and in essence it's tough to imagine much more mnav acceleration (but we *are* in that whacky tape and people are just trading price -- i know this from some comment i read today). fair. if this is the case, flows to NASDAQ:SBET should be very positive
- 2/ mnav from AMEX:BMNR start to collapse toward say 5x and this affects sentiment for other "eth treasury" co's, namely NASDAQ:SBET and this thing goes to 1.2x mnav vs. say 1.5x today... no bueno
-3/ there are others (two others), but above is 80% I think of pie
so why eth? aren't you a BTC only guy V?
- mm yeah BTC is the only commodity
- but i also trade stocks, tech etc. and that's just want these other things are Eth, Sol etc.
- with NASDAQ:HOOD launching their L2 on LSE:ARB the other day, tokenizing stocks, with the realization that banks will want to float and distribute their own stables across crypto rails sooner vs. later (and legislation that's allowing for it... more stables = stronger dollar and USD dominance globally)... CRYPTOCAP:ETH will earn the lionshare of the upside here.
- of course flows will eventually find their way into $sol... CRYPTOCAP:SUI , NYSE:SEI , etc. etc. but for now CRYPTOCAP:ETH is probably the lowest-risk way to play this
- I'm not ruling out that our garden variety pullback sends BTC back to $90k and you know what happens when BTC sneezes... everyone else catches a flu. So that could really hamper CRYPTOCAP:ETH action short term.
- But I like the idea of playing not only CRYPTOCAP:ETH at a *reasonable* valuation here (you do pay 50% more! keep that in mind), but there seems to be a willingness to overpay (as AMEX:BMNR shows). so i'm content to neck out here to capture a 50-100% move. but small enough to either size up, look elsewhere and/or close with a loss without any flesh wounds.
tl;dr... if u like $bmnr... u should like NASDAQ:SBET more.

7/1/25 - $wolf - Some ppl r not worth saving7/1/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NYSE:WOLF
Some ppl r not worth saving
- go read the last comment
- here we are again... people are somehow allowing the bag holders to exit at more than zero for the thrill of playing a losing game
- not only has the company told you the stock is going to zero, they've made this clear a number of times
- only reason to monitor these things is to get a pulse on "liquidity" and willingness to play dumb games and win dumb prizes
- good luck! avoid

7/1/25 - $arbk - "restructure" 1017/1/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NASDAQ:ARBK
"restructure" 101
- when a company goes to "restructure" that's a euphemism for sending your shares to donut heaven
- sign of the times. sometimes it's hard to imagine what goes thru ppl's minds or if they do literally even 30 seconds of "work" before buying things
- just recently this happened with $wolf... which i was flamed for pointing out. i think that's also ... *checks notes* also up 125% as of my writing this.
- as comedian ron white used to say "can't fix stupid"
- sometimes the best move is no move at all. put it in the big stack of "ignore".
