Welcome Back,
Hi there
Good morning! In today’s issue, we’ll dig into the all of the latest moves and highlight what they mean for you right now. Along the way, you’ll find insights you can put to work immediately
Stock Market Debriefing
Major indices posted mixed to negative weekly performance, with small-caps and growth names under pressure.
Defensive and quality names (healthcare, select financials, mega-cap leaders) held up better.
High-momentum tech and speculative stocks saw profit-taking and sharp single-day drops.
The VIX climbed mid-week, signaling rising near-term uncertainty before calming slightly.
Big picture: This was a classic rotation week — money moved within the market rather than fleeing it.
Crypto Debriefing
Bitcoin spent the week consolidating in the high-$80Ks to low-$90Ks, showing resilience despite broader market weakness.
Ethereum held near the $3K range, with mixed short-term momentum but solid medium-term structure.
Altcoins were volatile: brief rallies were followed by sharp pullbacks, highlighting speculative fatigue.
Overall crypto volatility declined toward the end of the week — a sign of positioning, not panic.
Big picture: Crypto markets are digesting gains. Long-term holders stayed patient while short-term traders faced choppy conditions.
Real Estate Debriefing
Home price growth slowed noticeably, marking one of the softest annual increases in over a decade.
Inventory continued to gradually improve, giving buyers slightly more leverage heading into 2026.
Luxury and commercial deals remained active, especially in waterfront, industrial, and well-leased retail properties.
Investors stayed cautious, prioritizing cash flow and location quality over aggressive appreciation plays.
Big picture: Residential markets are stabilizing, not collapsing. Smart capital is waiting, negotiating, and preparing for selective opportunities in early 2026.
Resource Debriefing
Gold pushed to new highs, reinforcing its role as a hedge amid volatility.
Silver surged sharply, outperforming most asset classes this week.
Platinum and palladium posted strong gains, driven by industrial demand expectations.
Energy was mixed: oil drifted lower overall, while heating oil and gasoline showed seasonal strength.
Big picture: Commodities — especially metals — were one of the strongest performers of the week, signaling diversification demand and inflation-hedging behavior.
