▲ Current month through today. YTD from Jan 22, 2026 entry.
The story today is oil, and the reason oil is where it is. US forces struck Iranian targets again overnight, and Brent held above $95 while WTI stayed near $90 - that's not a spike anymore, it's a risk premium that's getting priced as structural. When Hormuz transit volumes stay suppressed this long, energy-adjacent names trade the geopolitical narrative more than the commodity itself, and that dynamic showed up clearly today.
The Warsh Fed complicated things further. Core PCE came in at 3.8% this morning, which is exactly the number a reform-oriented Fed Chair needs to justify keeping rates higher for longer, and the rate-sensitive end of the portfolio felt it. NUGT held its ground and that makes sense - when you have geopolitical risk AND a Fed that won't cut, gold miners catch both tailwinds at once. ETN is up 18.4% since January entry, and the 150 GW US grid buildout underpinning that position doesn't flex to interest rate cycles the way financials do. June FOMC minutes next week will be the first real read on how aggressively Warsh is pushing his agenda.
