  • The Futures Rundown 96: All That Glitters Is Not Gold
    Oct 22 2026

    Are precious metals losing their shine as higher Treasury yields compete for investors' attention? Mark Longo welcomes Dana Samuelson, President of American Gold Exchange, to explore the forces shaping gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

    They discuss central bank demand for gold, silver's search for a bottom, palladium's persistent weakness and the longer-term case for copper. Dana also explains how stubbornly high diesel prices could weigh on global growth and metals demand—and shares his perspective on Bitcoin's "digital gold" reputation.

    Plus, we break down the week's biggest futures movers, including coffee's rally, natural gas and wheat declines, and gains in Bitcoin and Ether. We also track the most active futures contracts and examine the year-to-date divide between surging energy prices and struggling commodities.

  • The Futures Rundown 95: We Owe It All To The Meats!!
    Oct 15 2026

    Crude oil climbs, silver tumbles, and inflation keeps futures traders focused on the Fed. On this episode, we welcome back Dan "The Man" Gramza of Gramza Capital Management to break down the biggest futures market movers—and explore why we might owe modern financial futures to the meats.

    We discuss the geopolitical risk premium driving crude oil and heating oil, the sharp selloff in silver, and the struggle for direction in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Dan also shares his perspective on the stock market pullback, Treasury futures activity, and the economic reports that could shape the next move.

    Plus, we explore elevated beef prices, the challenges facing CME's new lean beef trimmings futures contract, and Dan's take on how livestock futures helped pave the way for currency and stock index futures. We round things out with dairy, grain markets, the strong dollar, and a little appreciation for a good corned beef hash.
