The market has looked a bit chaotic recently, but if you look closely at where the funds are going, the logic is actually quite clear.

Funds are shifting positions, not disappearing. That’s the key.

Before the implementation of tariff policies, risk appetite began to differentiate. US stock futures are retreating, but the Nikkei has hit new highs again. While US bonds are strengthening, Japanese bonds are under pressure. This kind of divergence is very interesting.

Looking at commodities—metals are soaring across the board, silver has broken new highs, tin and copper are also hitting record levels. Only crude oil is a bit weak.

On the surface, it seems chaotic, but the direction of funds is actually quite obvious. When the market begins "rebalancing," it’s usually not short-term emotional fluctuations, but deeper asset allocation adjustments. These signals are sometimes more worth paying attention to than the index itself. During this sensitive window before the tariff ruling, understanding these changes in fund flow is very important for interpreting subsequent market trends.

Moving positions is the right call; the metal market indeed surged dramatically. But what I care more about is where this wave of funds will ultimately flow to, and whether it will fall into the trap of buying at high prices again.

If I had known that metals would take off this time, I wouldn't have stubbornly held onto US stocks. Now seeing silver reach a new high is truly amazing... I'm kicking myself with regret.

Chips are quietly shifting, most people are still watching the index... That's the gap. --- I should have jumped in when silver just broke a new high. It's a bit late to chase now, but this wave in metals definitely isn't over. --- While the Japanese stock market hit a new high again, the US stock market was still falling. Interesting, really, funds are definitely repositioning. --- Weak crude oil is a signal, indicating that this isn't a broad rally but a structural rotation—typical repositioning rhythm. --- The key isn't whether the index rises or falls, but understanding where the money is flowing. Most people are looking in the wrong direction.

Hmm... I've heard the whole "funds repositioning" routine too many times. Every time they say "logic is clear," but I always end up doing the opposite and losing the most, haha. The Japanese stock market hits new highs again, and I didn't follow along—this is just ridiculous.

Metal Takeoff, we definitely didn't miss this wave. I was still hesitating before. Once the tariff policy was announced, it became clear where the funds are flowing, straightforward to see. The Japanese stock market hit a new high again, this is the real signal. Silver broke a new high, it feels like there's still potential ahead. Moving positions is the right call; don't just focus on the index and mess with yourself.
