▲ Current month through today. YTD from Jan 22, 2026 entry.
Safe Growth eased 2.7% today to $1,696 a unit, measured open to open against your last update on July 6. That leaves the book down 2.4% for July and about 11.6% under our January 22 entry. The driver was geopolitics: Washington reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil and struck Iranian targets after tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, sending crude above $70 and pushing money out of rate-sensitive and momentum names.
The hedge did its job. XLE, our energy sleeve, rose 4.0% as oil spiked and was the one green line on the board, which is exactly the geopolitical protection that position exists for. NVDA held up, adding 1.6%. The drag came from elsewhere: NUGT gave back 13.9% as gold pulled back sharply, URA fell 6.2%, TMF slid 4.2% as yields rose on inflation worries, MSTR eased 3.5%, and PPA and ETN each slipped about 2.7%.
No trades. This is exactly the balance the book is built for. XLE and URA carry the energy and commodity hedge, NUGT is our gold ballast, ETN and PPA anchor the infrastructure and defense core, and NVDA keeps us tied to the AI build-out. When geopolitics flares the way it did today, energy exposure cushions the hit while the rest of the book rides through. Holding the full slate.
