01 May 2026 – 08:44 Central Euro Time

The Bond, Swiss Franc, Gold and Copper all at present are below their respective Neutral Zones for today; above same is Oil, and BEGOS Markets’ volatility is light. As anticipated, Silver’s linreg (see Market Trends) has joined Gold in rotating from positive to negative; more on the metals’ expectedly down week in tomorrow’s 859th consecutive Saturday edition of The Gold Update. Going ’round the the Market Values horn in real-time for the five primary BEGOS components: we’ve the Bond -2^16 points “low” beneath its smooth valuation line, the Euro -.005 points “low”, Gold -166 points “low”, Oil +7.09 points “high” and the Spoo +475 points “high”, the S&P itself now 16 trading days “textbook overbought”. Were StateSide equities to open at this instant, they’d be a bit higher, and we expect there’ll be much near-term FinMedia babble about a pending “Dow 50k”, barring it all going wrong. The Econ Baro completes its busy week with April’s ISM(Mfg) Index.
