In this week’s Daily Editorial, Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and editor of Marc to Market, returns to break down a whirlwind end to the week: a sharp pullback in rare earth and precious metals equities, renewed US-China friction, and fresh jitters around US regional banks. He also shares practical portfolio tactics for navigating vertical moves and volatility shocks.

What we cover

Metals selloff after spike highs: Why rare earth and gold/silver equities gave back gains into week’s end, and how sentiment, rate-cut odds, and “deal optimism” around US-China fed profit-taking.
Strategic reality check on rare earths: Regardless of near-term politics, the US/EU/Japan must rebuild REE processing capacity - an industrial project measured in years, not quarters.
Regional banks back in the headlines: What Zions and Western Alliance signal about CRE stress, the refinancing wall into year-end, and why KRE can bounce even while the group remains in a broader drawdown.
Dollar & rates link: Marc’s framework for the USD tracking US yields lower if the Fed continues cutting, plus how “dollar-block” FX (CAD/AUD/NZD) and safe havens (CHF) fit into the macro picture.
