Risk assets are enjoying record-breaking highs.

Dr. Copper, Papa Dow, and international equity indexes such as the FTSE 100 are making the new all-time highs list. And Bitcoin will likely join them as it climbs back above 70,000.

Yet the defiant dollar remains afloat.

Nevertheless, risk-seeking behavior, Emerging Market currencies, and interest rates imply the dollar will eventually sink.

Earlier this month, the US Treasury benchmark interest rate led the US Dollar Index $DXY in violating a year-to-date trendline. 

Here’s the US 10-year yield $TNX overlaid with DXY:

In today’s Daily Digest, we’ll review the following:

2. Rolled GLD position into July options.
3. No exits since the last report.
4. Current status of open campaigns.

Just a quick Programing Note:

I'm with the whole All Star Charts team in Sonoma, CA for a few days working together to figure out how to extract as much money from this market as possible.

We will not be doing a Morning Show this week, but we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programs next Tuesday after Memorial Day.

Sonoma has become a special place to me after living here with my now wife for 5 years. This was after over a decade in New York City.

Silver futures are rising to the occasion.

The silver-to-gold ratio went from posting fresh six-month highs last Monday to hitting 16-month highs by Friday’s close.

Silver is ripping on absolute and relative terms, and this can mean only one thing: 

Risk-on!

Welcome to The Minor Leaguers.

We've had some great trades come out of this small-cap-focused column since we launched it back in 2020 and started rotating it with our flagship bottom-up scan, Under the Hood.

For the first year or so, we focused only on Russell 2000 stocks with a market cap between $1 and $2B.

That was fun, but we wanted to branch out a bit and allow some new stocks to find their way onto our list.

We expanded our universe to include some mid-caps.

To make the cut for our Minor Leaguers list now, a company must have a market cap between $1 and $4B.

Silver futures are rising to the occasion.

The silver-to-gold ratio went from posting fresh six-month highs last Monday to hitting sixteen-month highs by Friday’s close.

Check out Silver driving home an explosive resolution following a successful pullback:

Specifically, the Bank of...

My analysts are bullish on Bank of America $BAC and for good reason:

Bank of America is on the verge of breaking out of a bearish-to-bullish reversal pattern.

As you can see in the lower pane, BAC recently resolved higher from a similar basing formation versus the broader market.

We like it long only if it is above 38.50 with a 2-4 months target of 50.

Options premiums are cheap, so lets keep it simple.
