In this edition of The KE Report, I sat down with Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Capital Markets and Editor of the Marc to Market website, to unpack another full week of macroeconomic data. We focused on the US jobs report, GDP estimates for Q2, the mid-week European central bank meeting where Kevin Warsh spoke, the shift to an annual review of the Mexico/Canada/America (“MCA”) trade agreement, further geopolitics effects of tariffs and the Strait of Hormuz supply shock, and how all of that factors into interest rates, currencies, and international markets.
Key Discussion Points:
Jobs Report Metrics Come In Weaker Than Expected: The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the US added just 57,000 jobs in June, a slowdown from previous months and below the 113,000 economists expected. The unemployment rate, however, ticked down to 4.2%, below the expected 4.3%.
Marc gets under-the-hood and looks at the nuances of the regular revisions to the jobs data, the nature of the data collection and inherent challenges with getting it all in a timely basis, and how the low participation rate effected the unemployment rate.
The Atlanta-based GDP Now Forecasts ~1.2% GDP Growth in Q2: While this number is also subject to revision when the official number comes out, and is contrast to Bloomberg’s 2.2% GDP growth estimate, it highlights a reduction in growth in Q2 versus Q1.
When contrasting the 1.2% GDP growth estimate versus the May inflation reading at 4.2% area, some economists point to negative growth in “real” inflation-adjusted terms and point to this being stagflation. Marc weighs in on the conversation and is less convinced of the economy being in that kind of dire stagflationary pressure, and lays out the case for steady growth and how different segments of the economy are in different situations.
Inflation Expectations and Fed Policy: A few weeks after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s debut meeting, and after getting more comments from him this last week at the European Central Bank Forum, the market is pricing in a hawkish trajectory for the end of the year; with 1.5 hikes prices in. This is affecting the short-end of the bond yield curve, while the longer-dated treasury yields are flattening. Mark weighs in on the key takeaways in these trends as well as where "real" inflation-adjusted interest rates are coming in.
International Market Movers: Widening the scope beyond US markets, we discuss interest rates, currencies, and stock markets abroad from Europe to Asia, and the trends and moves by specific countries that have Marc’s attention.
Mexico/Canada/America (“MCA”) Trade Agreement Goes To Annual Review: Marc highlights that now that July 1st deadline has come and gone, the MCA is still intact, but now goes to an annual renewal and review for the next decade. This brings up the larger discussion around North American trade and economies of scale between the 3 countries, and the benefits of the MCA versus bilateral trade agreements.
Strait of Hormuz Supply Shock Effects Multiply: While the MOU for the ceasefire between the US and Iran is on unsure footing, there has been a significant drop in crude oil prices over the last couple of weeks, easing some future inflation expectations. However, the resulting supply shock in fertilizers and pesticides, had an impact on farming in a year where the warmer weather effects from El Niño are anticipated to result in lower food yields. This is one of the big themes Marc will be watching for the balance of this year and setting up for 2027.

In this Daily Editorial on The KE Report, I chat with Joel Elconin, Co-Founder of the Pre-Market Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss the “violent rotation trade” underneath the surface of the US equity markets. His big takeaway lately has been that “leaders have turned into laggards, and the laggards have now turned into leaders.”
We picked it up where we left off last week where Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) had blasted up after a nice earnings beat, but then dropped precipitously this week.
Micron got “Broadcom’ed” by the market… Joel points out that initially Broadcom (AVGO) had rallied on its earnings, before then getting taken out to the woodshed and beaten down over the last month.
There have been pockets of strength lately, due to a rotation trade out of MAG-7 leadership and out into select financial stocks, consumer staples, mixed retail, utilities, biotech (XBI), healthcare (XLV), but Joel advised caution in chasing these sectors much higher.
Another laggard trade, that has morphed into a leader trade has the been the small cap stocks as evidenced by the move in the Russell 2000 (IWM) for the last year, and picking up pace over the last few months.
We discussed that some stocks, like Intel Corp (INTC), with a current forward PE ratio over 150, are making upside moves that normally take years in just a matter of days and weeks; and thus, their valuations are now priced to perfection far out into the future.
His concern is the eventual assertion of gravity in the markets, where valuations actually start to matter again.
Oil prices have collapsed since the MOU was signed between the US and Iran, which is a bright spot for consumers and businesses alike, and it should help with the inflation readings moving forward. However, Joel points out that if the WTI prices drop even lower and the trends shift over into a deflationary cycle, then that could roil the markets.
When probed about the potential rotation from growth into value in that kind of a scenario, Joel highlighted that this is what we are already starting to see under the surface of these markets, and that happens later in the cycle when traders get into a more defensive posture.
Joel flagged that his biggest concern at present is that the markets are content to focus on the benefits of the rotation trade, but if money quits pulling out of one asset class and plowing right back into another and instead just goes to the sidelines, then things could also morph into a “sell everything” market in the 2nd half of the year. For this reason, his posture and general outlook is moving from neutral to bearish looking ahead to the balance of 2026.

In this Daily Editorial from The KE Report, I sit down with Brien Lundin, Editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the upcoming New Orleans Investment Conference, to get his outlook on where we are at in the precious metals market, and why he believes the bottoming process is already underway here in the mid-point of the year. We are transitioning from what was a very difficult correction in Q2, to a metals and mining prices that seem to have hit selling exhaustion and are bouncing up to kick off Q3.
While the short-term charts for gold have been under pressure, Brien highlights several under-the-radar shifts that suggest a market transition is underway in the PM complex.
Gold dipped briefly below $4,000 a few times, but didn’t stay there and quickly rebounded back up above that round psychological number each time. The last few days of June and first couple days of July have put some breathing room in between current prices and $4,000.
The Fed policy expectations went a bit too extreme in the hawkish camp, and Brien points out that eventually Kevin Warsh and the Fed will transition back to a more accommodative policy, using their task forces to define new readings on economic datapoint.
The stronger US dollar is not going to be the headwind some may expect, and is less relevant to the gold or silver price over the medium to longer-term than other macro trends.
We are entering an attractive window of seasonality, where often the lows in the PM sector occur between late July and early August and then rally for months into the Fall. While we could see a bit more continued price weakness, he sees that as a great spot to go shopping for companies on people’s watch lists.
The precious metals stocks are going to have a wave of positive news coming in Q3 from robust earnings in the producers, to cashed up exploration programs, resource estimate updates, and economic studies in the juniors.
Brien highlights the following companies as ones that have positive news catalysts on tap that he is keenly interested in following for H2: Prospector Metals Corp. (TSXV: PPP) (OTCQB: PMCOF), K2 Gold Corp (TSXV: KTOV) (OTCQX: KTGDF), Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF), Delta Resources Ltd (TSXV: DLTA) (OTC Pink: DTARF), and Auro Metals Inc. (TSXV: AURO) (OTCPK: AURFF).

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins me for another wide-ranging discussion on his technical outlook, fundamental factors that matter, and portfolio management strategies in this current setup in gold, silver, and precious metals stocks heading into Q3.
We start off reviewing the bearish technical action on the charts from the Q1 peaks in January and February to the support breaking to lower prices in Q2 through the end of June.
Q2 had a very ugly bullish engulfing quarterly candle, which he just wrote about on Substack, but he also cautioned people that it doesn’t mean things are just going to go straight down from here.
Robert points out that selling compounded and Q2 closed up at max pessimism in the sector, and he noted that this is the type of environment where selling can become exhausted and where directional turns can happen.
Additionally, we noted the extreme low readings in sector sentiment, extreme low bullish breadth readings, and the weak seasonality factor, where the summer doldrums seemed to come early this year.
He highlights that turning over the calendar month & quarter can bring in different positioning from institutions, and that in seasonality terms, coming out of the US Independence Day long weekend can often set up a more constructive stretch in the PM complex for the next few months.
Next we addressed the fat margins that producers still had in Q2 and heading into Q3, despite the corrective moves in the metals and higher energy costs for the quarter, and potentially compressing margins some from where they were in Q1. We also outlined the constructive situation with regards to so many gold and silver explorers and developers being more cashed up than they have been in years, doing some of their largest work programs in years. We are going to have flood of positive sector news over the next few months that could be the catalysts to bring more buying and interest into the junior PM equities.
Wrapping up we discussed a few portfolio management strategies, where pullbacks in quality companies can be good accumulation points. Robert reiterated that investors should take inventory of what they own and why they own those stocks; shedding situations that are continually not working out, and focusing on their highest conviction stories that they have the best understanding of as their heaviest weightings.

The companies we discussed in the interview are: Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the value proposition that has his attention in 3 gold junior resource stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.
Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced the results of its updated Technical Report Feasibility Study and Life-of-Mine Plan for the producing Florida Canyon Mine located in Nevada. Less than two years after acquiring Florida Canyon for $68 million, Integra has transformed the operation into a larger, longer-life asset with a 74% increase in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, a 17% increase in annual gold production and active mining extended through 2033.
Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)(OTCQX:IRVRF)(FSE:1IR) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced receipt of strong assay results from newly discovered feeder style mineralization at its Omu Sinter epithermal gold-silver project located in Omu, Hokkaido, Japan. Diamond drill hole 26OMS-002, a 53m vertical hole drilled near the eastern margin of the sinter target earlier this year, intercepted 0.98 gpt Au and 68.96 gpt Ag (2.06 gpt AuEq) over 47.7m beginning at the top of bedrock and continuing to the end of the hole.
K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTOV) (OTCQX: KTGDF) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced that it has commenced its 2026 exploration and 5,650 metre drilling program at the 100%-owned Mojave Project in Inyo County, California.

Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) (FSE: MX0), joins me for a big picture update on their transition to development and near-term production at it flagship Perron Gold Project, located in Quebec, Canada. The Company will be changing its name to Amex Gold Mining Inc. in early July to reflect this transition into a developer/producer over the next 2 years; but will also be maintaining a 100,000 meter drill program, so there is still the dual-focus on exploration as well.
On June 18th, the Company announced the completion of the final tranche of the oversubscribed "best efforts" private placement for C$80Million, where Eldorado Gold maintained their 27% stake, and they have received receipt of the key permits for the upcoming bulk sampling program. We discussed how the bulk sample will achieve multiple goals of learning about the actual grade and metal recovery reconciliation measured against the metrics outlined in the positive Feasibility Study for the 5 years of commercial Phase 1 production at the project. The bulk sample will have an initial capital outlay of around C$50Million, but after processing ~40,000 tonnes via toll-milling at a nearby plant; and producing around 23,000-28,000 ounces of gold, this will generate revenues more than double that capex.
We discussed how the market does seem to fully appreciate or value that the Company will be mining and producing metals and revenues by the end of 2027. Additionally, Victor points out that the portal and decline/ramp development utilized in this upcoming bulk sample is the exact same plan envisioned in their economic study, and will shave all that capital, development work, and time off the front-end of Phase 1 development, providing a faster organic natural transition in Phase 1 commercial mining in 2028 simply by extending that ramp further into the mine.
We then discussed the even larger strategy where the revenues generated from the bulk sample in 2027, followed by the 4-5 years of DSO toll-mining in Phase 1, will then fund the exploration and development work that feeds into the Phase 2 studies. Phase 2 will envision the move into a larger production scenario building a processing plant on site, from the robust revenues projected during Phase 1.
In addition to all the development slated for this year, the company is pressing forward with an aggressive 100,000 meter drill campaign, continuing to delineate and expand resources at the main Perron Project; while also beginning to explore on their expanded land package across the provincial border into Ontario. The company has substantially increased their land holdings through a combination of staking claims and the 2 recent acquisitions of the Perron West and the Abbotsford/Hepburn properties.

In this Daily Editorial, Craig Hemke, Founder and Publisher of the TF Metals Report, joins me to analyze the peak hawkishness in the precious metals market since last week. We dive into the macroeconomic backdrop as it relates to interest rates and Fed policy and the fallout after Kevin Warsh chaired his first FED meeting 2 weeks ago and addressed the markets focused on price stability.
Craig wrote an article last week titled: “Peak Hawk” outlining some of the topics we dove into during this discussion, and there is a link to that here:
https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/13750/peak-hawk
Technical Levels to Watch:
Craig comments on the break-down in gold, silver, and PM ETF breaking below the 200-day moving average, and 50-week moving averages as just a ‘piling on’ effect from this peak hawkishness in the markets.
He believes most of the corrective move has happened at this point, and is anticipating 2026 to end somewhere around flat on the year; which he notes wouldn’t be too bad after the outsized gains in gold and silver in 2024 and 2025 on a percentage basis.
He points out we may need that last capitulation move this summer to wash out any remaining weak hands, and to then base and bring in the new buyers that cause shorts to cover and begin a new upleg.
Craig also points to the flattening yield curve, and where the 2-year and 10-year treasury yields have been trending as a factor worth paying attention to.
Kevin Warsh Will Be Speaking In Europe this Wednesday:
Kevin Warsh is participating in a policy panel at the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking. Craig will be watching to see if he emphasizes the hawkish hold or dials it back a little at this meeting.
The Fed funds futures are now anticipating 1-2 rate hikes this year versus the initially market anticipated rate cuts, coming into this year. We discuss the likelihood of the market has now swung so hawkish, that it may be excessive and misplaced.
Even if we see an initial hawkish rate hike, Craigs sees that as posturing, and doesn’t anticipate that we’d have long to wait after that before the economic data on inflation softens with lower energy prices now, and that monetary policy will adjusts course in the opposite direction, in a more dovish playbook… like it has over and over again historically.
We’ll Get The Jobs Data on Thursday This Week:
The June BLS jobs report will be released on July 2, 2026, which is expected to show the creation of 172,000 new jobs. We are getting this data on Thursday, due to the observance of Independence Day on Friday.
Additionally, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index and the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will also be reported this week.
The Macroeconomic Fundamentals Haven’t Changed:
Sovereign debt remains at record levels and most nations can not endure interest rates that go up to drastically. Craig highlights that “The Math is the math.”
Throughout history, central banks have opted for printing more money and driving interest rates meaningfully lower, to inflate their way out of economic challenges, and to pay off higher interest debt with lower-rate debt.
Overall, central banks continue to add gold to their balance sheets versus adding more US or foreign treasuries.
