Market Update: Jan 28, 2026

• Gold ($5,260+): After breaking $5,000 on Jan 26, gold climbed another +4% today. Gains are driven by Trump’s trade policies, a low in the Dollar Index, and aggressive central bank buying. Momentum remains bullish despite overbought signals.
• Bitcoin ($88-92k): BTC is lagging as institutional "basis trades" clash with 4-year cycle retail selling. All eyes are on the Jan 30 options expiry; a break above $100k could trigger a massive gamma squeeze.
• Emerging Markets: A weak dollar is fueling a rally in Eastern Europe. Poland’s WIG index has hit new All-Time Highs,.
• Industrial Metals & Inflation: Silver has exploded to $116/oz, With Copper also at record highs, "cost-push" inflation is becoming a major risk, likely forcing central banks to pivot toward interest rate tightening sooner than expected.

Top Assets to Watch

• Healthcare (UNH): A deep-value contrarian play. UnitedHealth (UNH) crashed 20% yesterday to $282 after missing earnings and facing Medicare rate cuts. It’s now at a 15-year P/E low.
• Energy (XLE): The "AI Power Trade." Massive demand for data centers is overwhelming the grid, making energy the primary bottleneck and growth driver for 2026.
• Gold (XAU): it's high but demand is still ongoing
• Emerging Markets (KWEB/EWZ): A weak dollar supports EM.
  • China (KWEB) - China gains popularity after big improvements in High Techs
  • Brazil (EWZ) - still not high P/E
