Global equities across continents, gold, silver, copper, aluminium and most rare earths – literally everything except crude and bitcoin is at all time high – even in the wake of new conflicts.
I sold all my stocks today, probably way too early but better safe than sorry. I don’t know anyone optimistic about the economy or the state of the world currently

Only my 2 cents, and I am not very knowledgeable: The US stock market, largely held afloat by the big tech stocks is in a prolonged topping phase. Meanwhile, we have entered a precious metals bull market for a couple of years triggered by concerns over the weaponisation of the US dollar. Other metals like copper are both rising because they typically do once a PM bull cycle matures and because there is a real long term deficit for which there is no solution.

The crude trade is dead and the money went elsewhere

Gold and equities usually arent correlated. When both assets surge up at the same time, this is historically rare. When it has happened, it usually mean investors are scared that equities are overvalued or the dollar is devalued, so they flock to safe assets like gold. But when gold, silver, and stocks all surge at the same time this is a very concerning sign. In the past, this has actually resulted in a liquidity freeze, the first to crash was silver and then stocks down with it. Not a doomsdayer but definetely best to proceed with caution. People aren’t trusting even cash today.

It feels spooky, but it’s mostly math, money, and mood. The world spent years pumping in cheap cash to survive shocks. That liquidity never vanished; it just waited. Now it’s flooding everything at once. Stocks love lower rates and AI dreams. Metals love fear, deficits, and the energy transition. Central banks are hoarding gold like dragons, while copper and aluminum are riding the “we need wires for everything” wave.
Crude oil is different: supply keeps showing up, demand growth is meh, and geopolitics hasn’t actually broken the pipes. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is sulking because it’s still treated like a high-beta risk asset, not digital gold, so when investors want safety, they buy the shiny stuff that’s been shiny for 5,000 years.
In short, this isn’t one story. It’s many stories, all shouting “cash is worth less, real things are worth more.”

So much liquidity and not many places to go. The problem occurs when the liquidity dries up.
While it’s great with those that can afford to tucking their money into stocks, shares, crypto, gold, silver, housing or whatever your asset of choice is, when the music stops you’ll see a lot of those gains vanishing at a rapid rate.
Who’s to say when that will be, but like much of this liquidity has been printed out of nowhere, it can vanish just as quick.
People have been saying that for years though and look where we are, in “the everything bubble.”
