🥇 Gold hits a new record as BRICS keep accumulating

Gold has broken above $4,400 per ounce, setting a fresh all-time high after a year-long rally.

Rate-cut expectations in the US and rising geopolitical tension matter, but the dominant force behind the move is sustained, price-insensitive buying by BRICS central banks.

What’s really happening 👇

🟡 BRICS and aligned countries are responsible for over 50% of global central-bank gold buying in recent years

🟡 Russia, China, and India together hold more than 5,500 tonnes of gold

🟡 The bloc also controls roughly half of global gold production, led by China and Russia

🟡 Accumulation is driven by diversification away from US Treasuries and sanctions risk

🟡 BRICS are pairing gold buying with new settlement tools and plans for independent pricing infrastructure

Gold is no longer just a hedge. It is becoming a core reserve asset in a gradually shifting, less dollar-centric financial system.

❕ NVIDIA and China: chips as geopolitical leverage

NVIDIA is aiming to ship around 80,000 H200 GPUs to China before Lunar New Year 2026 in what looks like a tightly controlled release.

The goal is to prove demand and set a precedent, with broader capacity orders potentially opening in Q2 2026.

The move sits at the intersection of politics and supply chains.

🟡 Washington is applying a 25% surcharge on approved exports

🟡 Beijing is considering approvals, but only if H200 purchases are bundled with mandatory buys of domestic accelerators

🟡 Shipments are limited, deliberate, and heavily negotiated

Both sides are using $NVDA as leverage. For the US, it’s export control with monetization. For China, it’s conditional access tied to strengthening local chip ecosystems.

📝 The 5 Pillars of a Real Trading Plan

Most trading mistakes don’t come from bad market conditions. They come from a lack of structure. This framework breaks a trading plan into five core components that keep decision-making stable under pressure.

1️⃣ Routine
Trading starts before the market opens.
A routine defines how you prepare: marking key levels, removing invalidated scenarios, updating context. Consistent preparation reduces impulsive decisions and keeps execution repeatable.

2️⃣ Bias
You need a clear directional framework.
What is your current market view? More importantly, where is it invalidated?
Bias is not belief — it’s a conditional hypothesis. Without it, traders flip direction emotionally instead of strategically.

3️⃣ Levels
Ideas are useless without location.
Levels define where you are willing to engage: liquidity zones, session highs/lows, areas where participation and emotion peak. This is where asymmetry exists. If you don’t know where you act, you’re reacting, not trading.

4️⃣ Execution
Entries must be rule-based, not intuitive.
What exactly confirms the trade? Volume behavior, delta, structure, candle pattern?
The clearer the trigger, the less room emotions have to interfere. Vague execution leads to inconsistent results.

5️⃣ Review
No review means no improvement.
What worked, what didn’t, and what rules were broken? Which opportunities were missed?
Review turns experience into skill. Without it, progress stalls regardless of market conditions.

A trading plan is not just entries and exits.
It’s a system that controls attention, risk, and behavior.
Remove any one of these pillars, and the market will eventually expose the weakness.

Christmas is a good moment to pause and be honest with yourself.

If you’re not happy with this year’s result, it’s worth understanding what needs to change.
Especially your habits and the way you react to stops. The market doesn’t respond to hopes or intentions. It reflects behavior.

Doing the same things and expecting a different outcome doesn’t work here.

Let this be a moment for clear conclusions and better decisions ahead.

Merry Christmas.
