Biggest Mining Stocks Boom In 50 Years Is Crushing S&P 500 — A 'Once-In-A-Generation' Trade?

As Wall Street fixates on tech and AI, a different kind of bull market is rewriting the playbook, one rooted not in software or data centers, but deep in the earth itself.

While precious metals are soaring to record highs, it’s the mining stocks that are climbing even higher, with experts calling it the biggest rally in 50 years. And most importantly, analysts say it’s not too late to get in on this “once-in-a-generation” opportunity. Read on for all the insights.

Trading Volatility During A Government Shutdown

Congress faces a funding deadline on September 30, and the risk of a shutdown could send shockwaves through stocks, bonds and metals. On Sunday, September 28, at 1 p.m. ET, Matt Maley will reveal how he’s planning to trade the week ahead and where the biggest opportunities may open.

Yesterday: U.S. indexes declined for a second straight session but remained near record highs, as weakness in tech, industrials, pharma and telecom offset gains in energy and consumer staples. The dollar rose and treasury yields continued to climb following last week’s Fed rate cut, prompting a sell-off in government bonds. Oil prices jumped 2.5% on the day and are now up 4% for the week, supported by geopolitical optimism related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Also, fears of a government shutdown continue to grow as negotiations have stalled ahead of the September 30 deadline.

On Our Radar: Analysts will be watching a number of reports throughout the day with the focus on: initial jobless claims, GDP, retail and wholesale inventories as well as durable goods. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on Costco (COST), which will report after the market close today.

Among the S&P 500’s top performers, Intel (INTC) and CF Industries (CF) led the way despite another negative day in the market. Meanwhile, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), and Micron (MU) were some of the biggest losers. But those weren’t the only companies making big moves. Here’s a look at some of the biggest winners and losers on Wednesday.

On This Day In 2008…

At the height of the financial crisis, federal regulators seized Washington Mutual (WaMu) and sold its banking operations to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion, marking one of the largest bank failures in U.S. history. The deal helped JPMorgan expand its retail footprint and further consolidated the U.S. banking sector. WaMu’s sudden collapse serves as a reminder of how quickly market confidence can unravel, and how even major publicly traded institutions can become worthless almost overnight.
