On this episode of The Futures Rundown, Mark Longo breaks down a fascinating week where equities are hitting all-time highs and the VIX is facing a serious "bloodletting." We dive into the "Dark Side" to see what's crashing (looking at you, OJ and NatGas) and flip the script to find out why Silver and Cocoa are finally finding some love.
In this episode, we explore:
-
The Trading Pit: Why a 200k contract day feels like "watching paint dry" and what's leading the volume (hint: it's the Micros).
-
Energy & Metals: Crude oil's threat to par, the Brent/WTI spread, and the "classy" move in Aluminium.
-
Crypto Corner: Ether and Bitcoin's year-to-date struggle vs. this week's "inhale."
-
The Leaderboard: Why Heating Oil is the king of the mountain (+75%) while Cocoa remains the year's biggest loser despite a weekly bounce.
