Week in Review — Earnings, Copper, the Yen, and How Markets Price Risk

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: Week in Review — Earnings, Copper, the Yen, and How Markets Price Risk This week wasn’t about a single headline. Whether it was “Big 3” earnings out of Microsoft, Meta, and Apple… Or even volatility in currencies like the yen stoking fear in the broader market… We’re witnessing a market in transition. And when markets are moving, the headlines rarely ever give you the full story. But the quiet signals most traders overlook when they’re focused on the headlines alone? That’s what we focus on here at Masters in Trading. And that’s what today’s episode is designed to review. We started the week with earnings — not as a guessing game, but as a volatility exercise. Our goal was to understand where options were pricing too much or too little movement. Then we shifted our attention to industrial metals. Copper rallied to all-time highs. And that surge only confirmed a longer-term thesis we’ve been trading for steady profits over the past 12 months. It was the same for many other materials the world actually needs – from lithium to copper and cobalt. AI data centers, grid upgrades, electrification — these aren’t quarterly stories. They’re multi-year demand cycles colliding with supply that can’t respond quickly. At the same time, we zoomed out to risk. The yen, the carry trade, and volatility metrics like the VVIX gave us a parallel read on market stress. Currency markets don’t wait for CNBC confirmation. They tend to react early, especially when leverage and confidence start to shift. Whether we see a stronger yen or a weaker yen from here, it’s all about watching how risk transmits before it shows up in equities. Layered on top of all that are broader policy conversations — Warsh, Reider, and the Federal Reserve. Put it all together, and this week brought a lot of noise. But it also revealed some clear investment opportunities that will become our biggest themes in 2026. In today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, we’ll pull all those threads together: What earnings volatility taught us this week How copper, lithium, and other industrials fit into the bigger commodities surge What the yen and carry trade are signaling right now How we can trade through the noise without overreacting ALL ACCESS MEMBERS ALERT: In today’s All Access, I’ll answer questions from viewers about our open positions.
