The holiday markets have lived up to their reputation for volatility. In our last note, we highlighted bullishness in Silver<\/strong>, and over the weekend, we saw that thesis play out faster than even we anticipated. Silver went vertical, hitting levels we didn’t expect to see until 2026, before pulling back sharply today. This “Silver Spike” is a classic hallmark of thin holiday trading, but it also serves as a proof-of-concept for the broader “Anti-Dollar” trade. The violence of the move suggests that capital is aggressively seeking hard assets.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, we are not chasing the same trade twice. As the precious metals complex digests these gains and volatility remains high, our analysis for the week of Dec 29 suggests the rotation is widening. The “Hard Asset” bid is now looking for value in the unloved sectors of the commodities complex and the root cause of the move: the Dollar itself.<\/p>\n

The Sleeping Giant<\/strong> Forecast: Crude Oil (CL=F) Moving Higher<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the market has been obsessed with Gold and Silver, Energy has been quietly building a base. We view this as the next logical rotation. CI Markets<\/a><\/strong> forecasts Crude Oil to move higher this week. If the “Anti-Dollar” trade is real (and the weekend action suggests it is) it cannot exclude the world\u2019s most critical commodity. We are seeing a setup where Energy plays catch-up to the metals, driven by the same liquidity easing that is lifting the rest of the complex.<\/p>\n

The Real Economy Pulse<\/strong> Forecast: Copper (HG=F) Trend Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If this cycle is truly about “Hard Assets,” it must eventually move from store-of-value (Gold) to utility (Industrials). Copper is flashing a buy signal. Our forecast<\/a><\/strong> for Copper is positive, suggesting that the bid for physical assets is deepening. This dovetails with our call on Emerging Markets last week; if EEM is rising, “Dr. Copper” usually isn’t far behind. This is the trade that confirms the move is structural, not just speculative.<\/p>\n

The Root Cause<\/strong> Forecast: US Dollar Index (DXY) Weakness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the engine driving the other trades. The Dollar is facing stiff resistance, and the recent spike in Silver was essentially a vote of “No Confidence” in fiat currency. CI Markets<\/strong><\/a> forecasts the DXY to trend lower\/bearish. A breaking Dollar is the green light for the rest of the commodities complex (Oil and Copper) to run. We are watching for a technical breakdown here to confirm the longevity of the commodities rally.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The signal for the week of Dec 29 is Rotation<\/strong>. The “Silver Spike” was the shot across the bow, but smart money rarely stays in one lane for long. Investors are using the final, thin trading days of 2025 to rotate profits from the high-flying precious metals into the laggards of the hard asset world: Energy and Industrials. The theme remains the same – Anti-Dollar – but the vehicles are changing.<\/p>\n
