Monday Morning Markets ...
Market Outlook
This is our Monday Morning Markets Update. Every week we update our analysis of equities, bond yields, exchange rates, commodity prices and crypto. Prices marked Saturday 4th July 2026. Oil prices up 5% this week. Equities slipping in Europe, steady in Asia and the USA. Gold down 1.6%, Bitcoin up 2.7%.
It is said the "markets takes the stairs up, but take the elevator down." Yeah and sometimes they just jump out the window. Bitcoin is a case in point. Bitcoin marked at $60,000, in June, a 52% fall from the 125k high in October 2025. Neither a store of value nor a medium of exchange. It will remain a traders favorite offering high volatility and the prospect of significant short term gains (or losses).
We mark Gold at $4,109 Saturday down 1.6%. Gold the safe haven beneficiary from the uncertainty of war, covered by the uncertainty of over extension. Charts always tell a great story. Gold prices over extended still but central banks offering some support with strong buying into May.
Top line ...
A record number of fund managers see stocks as overvalued. They would receive some support this week! In our forward outlook, we model an 22% draw down in the US, an 16% adjustment in Europe and a 22% realignment in our three primary Asian markets. The CAPE fear index hits 42.2 (41.6), close to the 2000 high of 43.2.
Sarah Breedon Bank Deputy Governor thinks markets are set for a fall. Berkshire Hathaway sits on a near $400 billion dollar cash pile and buys back stock. Warren Buffet thinks markets have turned into a casino. It's all about speculation rather than investment.
"Cash no longer Trash, (Jamie Dimon), Bonds are Garbage ( Bill Gross), Equities Are Overvalued (Everyman), Bitcoin is worthless (Jamie Dimon), Most NFTs are junk (John Hargrave)". "Crypto is a ‘hot ball of money’ with very little intrinsic value", says hedge fund Starkiller Capital.
When it comes to understanding market moves, "Any explanation is better than none" (Nietzsche). Be careful out there ... and remember ... "To understand the markets, you have to understand the economics" ... and we do!

Monday Morning Markets ... Currencies
Sentiment steady this week. Dollar Index level at 100.66 from 100.52. Sterling at $1.34 against the Dollar from $1.33 and at €1.17 against the Euro from €1.17. The Euro level against the Dollar at $1.14 from $1.14.
Bigger role for the Euro?
"As the US dollar weakens amid geopolitical upheaval, Euro-area finance ministers are pushing to expand the role of the single currency. They met in Brussels February and on their agenda was promotion of the currency’s issuance and use in transactions. Given the global context, it’s become “existential for us to safeguard the international role of the euro as it is quite pertinent for the EU’s monetary sovereignty,” said Greek Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis, who chaired the meeting."
BCA Analysis April 2026
"The dollar is not losing its role, but it is losing its exclusivity, supporting a structural bid for reserve assets that replicate its functions."
The decline of the US dollar has been a major theme for several years and has accelerated since Liberation Day. But no single currency can replace the dollar. The more relevant question is thus which portfolio of assets can replicate the functions the dollar has long bundled together. In practice, a synthetic reserve basket is already being built by the world’s most sophisticated reserve managers.
The attributes that make an asset suitable for reserves (liquidity, safety, inflation protection, commodity hedge, rule of law, transaction utility, and increasingly geopolitical alignment) are separable and available in different concentrations across assets and currencies. As in Swensen’s Endowment Model, what was once bundled in the dollar can now be unbundled and optimized. This does not require abandoning the dollar, but it does imply lower dollar concentration at the margin and a sustained bid for assets that deliver the factors the dollar no longer monopolizes.
Bigger Role for the Chinese yuan (renminbi) The suggestion that the Chinese yuan (renminbi) is positioned to achieve global reserve status came directly from Chinese President Xi Jinping in February 2026, though major U.S. banks like Goldman Sachs have simultaneously issued "high-conviction" reports predicting the currency's significant rise.
CONTEXT: The "five-year" timeline aligns with the 2026–2030 planning cycle. However, while Beijing and some Wall Street analysts are bullish, the yuan currently accounts for only ~2% of global reserves, compared to the U.S. dollar's ~58%. Analysts caution that achieving true reserve status requires China to further relax capital controls, a move Beijing has historically been reluctant to take fully.
China’s yuan may be going global faster than Western data suggests, analysts say.
Mainstream metrics may understate the role of China’s currency in global payments, as a growing share of transactions is now routed through Beijing’s own cross-border payment system and not fully reflected in conventional data sets, analysts say. This could help explain the gap between Beijing’s official narrative – which describes the yuan as the world’s third-largest payment currency – and readings from tracking systems such as the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (Swift).

- Primary Source: In early February 2026, President Xi Jinping published an article in Qiushi (the CCP’s flagship journal) explicitly calling for the renminbi to attain "global reserve currency status" as part of China's goal to become a "financial powerhouse."
- U.S. Bank Involvement: While Xi set the political goal, Goldman Sachs released a major 2026 FX strategy report labeling the yuan as one of its "highest conviction" ideas, arguing it is undervalued by 25% and poised for a structural rise.
- Economic Context: Morgan Stanley’s 2026 "Big Picture" report noted that the yuan has already entered the top three global trade finance currencies, with over 30% of China's trade now settled in RMB.
- Implementation: The push is tied to China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), which prioritizes "current account liberalization" to boost global demand for the currency.

Monday Morning Markets ... Oil Prices Brent Crude ...
Oil prices Brent Crude basis marked at $76.01 from $72.10 Saturday. Brent Crude up 5% as news of extended ceasefire and hopes for opening the Strait of Hormuz disappear.
We expect Brent Crude to average $75 - $80 dollars in the third quarter, steady at $80 dollars by the end of the year assuming an easing of the constraint in the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil Supplement : EIA Short term outlook
July Crude Oil Price Forecast :
Expectations of increasing oil supply and moderating inventory draws have caused oil prices to fall. The Brent crude oil spot price averaged $85 per barrel (b) in June, down $22/b from May and $32/b from its recent April 2026 peak. The Brent price in our forecast averages $74/b in 3Q26, a reduction of $27/b from last month’s outlook. We expect ongoing oil inventory accumulation over the next year will continue to put downward pressure on crude oil prices, with Brent falling to an average of $65/b in 2027.

Monday Morning Markets ... Bitcoin ...
We mark Bitcoin at $64,111 from $62,438. Bitcoin up 2.7% this week, finding support at $60,000 just. Bitcoin is consolidating after steep monthly losses. Bitcoin trades essentially flat on the week, with subdued volatility and price action consistent with post‑selloff consolidation
We said some weeks ago, the technical trend rate is emerging of head and shoulders with a $60,000 to 80,000 trading pattern. Continued risk-off sentiment in crypto markets could see a drop to $60,000, we said. The level may now offer support with a $60,000 to $70,000 short term range. Continue to expect a hold at $60,000 with $40,000 the next support level. Should be some action around the $60,000 level first.
Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone warns Bitcoin could crash to $10,000, calling the rally a “collapsing bubble”. [Feb 17th]. $40k, $30k and $20k are the steps to break through first.

Monday Morning Markets ... Gold $...
We mark Gold at $4,109 from $4,176 last week down 1.6% in the week. Failing to recover the $5,000 dollar level. Gold was trading at $5,500 following Epic Fury strikes on Iran. Spot gold dropped further, as profit‑taking combines with pressure from hawkish Fed statements and a firmer U.S. dollar narrative.
Gold hovers near $4,120, with a projected $3,640–$4,580 weekly band, responding to U.S. data and Fed minutes rather than forming a clear trend.
Prior to the strikes, "The outlook for gold prices in 2026 was predominantly bullish, with most analysts and financial institutions holding significant increases. Goldman's calling $5,400. J.P. Morgan predicts prices will reach $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026, while Deutsche Bank is standing by a $6,000 year-end target, per their recent notes.
Here's what the World Gold Council has to say: "An environment characterized by elevated geopolitical tensions, shifting market correlations, and persistent currency risks underscores the importance of building resilient portfolios. Gold’s performance across market cycles, its diversification attributes and its ability to provide protection during periods of financial stress reinforce its strategic, long-term relevance within portfolios." © 2026 World Gold Council.
The over extension against trend evident from our chart. $4,000 the next call. A pull back to $2,500 would not be a huge shock. Central bank buying offers support with strong buying continuing into May with Poland and China leading the charge.
Warren Buffett’s case against the metal argues gold’s intrinsic value is no more than the cost of producing it, which in 2024 was somewhere around $1,500 an ounce across the bulk of the major miners. The all-in sustained cost (AISC) of production can therefore be seen as a potential floor for gold.
Saturday Economist Technical View June 28, 2026
Gold slips below $4,000 – bears in control, for now
1. Price Action
Spot gold XAU/USD broke $4,000 this week, trading as low as $3,964.65 before closing near $3,996. The move extends a -4.9% weekly decline, the sharpest since March.
2. Key Technicals
• Trend: Firmly bearish. Price sits below all major MAs: 21-day - $4,444, 200-day - $4,446, 50-day -$4,593.
• Momentum: Daily RSI ∼24-30, oversold but no reversal signal yet. Bear Cross confirmed as 21-day cut below 200-day.
• Support: $4,000 psychological level breached intraday. Next downside zones: $3,920 (38.2% Fib + 50-period MA), $3,900 (50-period SMA), then $3,605.
• Resistance: Reclaiming $4,000 is step one. The real test is the $4,440-$4,450 cluster where the 200-day and 21-day SMAs converge.
3. Macro Drivers
Hawkish Fed repricing, 10-yr yields >4.57%, and easing Middle East tensions are draining gold’s safe-haven bid. Higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
4. Outlook
Bearish bias below $4,000. Rallies toward $4,200-$4,450 are likely selling opportunities unless gold can close back above the 200-day SMA. A daily close below $4,000 opens the door to $3,900 and $3,605.
Longer-term forecasts from major banks still point to $5,400-$6,300 by end-2026, but the near-term chart favors the bears.
The line in the sand: $4,000. Hold it, and bulls get a breather. Lose it on a weekly close, and the path to $3,600 clears up.
