Gold Jumps 7.1% and I Think $8,000 Is Coming Faster Than You Think ~ Monday Market Moves

👉 Rule Symposium 2026 Replay  📩 Free Newsletter 📈 Technical Analysis for Beginners 🌎 Travel Channel Recording Date 8-7-2026. The S&P 500 gained 3.6% and I remain biased higher, while the U.S. dollar slipped 0.2% and is sitting near support that could produce a bounce. The VIX is hovering around 14.9 and getting closer to my 13.5 level where volatility starts becoming especially interesting to me. But the real fireworks are in gold, which jumped 7.1%, and I believe this breakout materially improves the odds that the recent bottom is already behind us. I'm putting real conviction behind that gold thesis because I believe inflation, rising long term yields, and the possibility of eventual yield curve control could provide major fuel for precious metals, with my longer-term gold target reaching roughly $7,000 to $8,000. Silver gained 9.9% and still looks capable of breaking beyond $64 toward the $70 to $72 resistance area, while copper hit a new high before printing a bearish short-term signal that has me cautious for next week. Uranium appears to be moving beyond its summer weakness even though I expect a near term retracement, while WTI oil plunged 11.2% into support and I now see roughly a 70% probability of an upside move next week. Toward the end of the show, platinum gained 6.1%, palladium gained 7.6%, nickel slipped 1.6% but still looks constructive to me, and Bitcoin gained 2.1% with upside potential limited by resistance around $66,000 to $67,000.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ Gold Gold surged 7.1% and GDX jumped 21.3%.
