The markets are dominated by new significant highs in the precious metals gold and silver and the industrial metal copper.
➡️ Precious metals rose strongly to reach new highs, although in the last few hours gold and silver they returned part of their earnings. Gold hit a new all-time high at $2,450, while silver hit a new 11-year high at $32.50. Both will be interesting for traders following trends today on the long side.
➡️ The industrial metal Copper has also reached a new all-time high and trend traders will be interested here too. If copper futures are too big for you, or your broker doesn't offer a copper CFD, there is a copper ETF called Copper.

In the United States, both the NASDAQ 100 Index and the S&P 500 Index are not far from their recent all-time highs. China's main index, the HSI, continues to rise towards new 9-month highs. Long stocks can be attractive to both trend traders and day traders right now.

➡️ In the Forex market, since the opening of Tokyo, the strongest major currency is the Euro, while the New Zealand dollar is the weakest.
