It depends on a lot of things. I got a big shock waking up with a 5+% drop and plummeting this week (or last 🥹🤔🤦♀️), but I did predict that exact pullback to dip and show a strong signal (you know that dip before going up steadily for awhile). It seems to be flashing that for me so I'm going to go with A. At least by Monday. Friday is usually selloff day so it may only reach it's previous levels. Depends on the US index/$ (& how other safe havens are doing). I think we'll see XAU hit $6000 sooner than April/early May. Might be $8000 towards the tail end of this year!
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ just because I thought I'd read some unfavourable news about $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ with layoffs (which can be a good thing for profits I know), and a couple other sidenotes. Tipping Google for the longer term home run with it's new partnership/s etc. and already earned reputation.
If gold hits $5000 before Feb, I would expect a healthy pullback as long as there isn't a strong signal for a nice upward momentum. Which leads me to side with Jeffries and Yardeni IF the former happens, however I expected it to dip earlier and then steady a little before hitting the $6000 around end of March or April at the earliest due to Spring Festival celebrations and a slower pace.
$Intel(INTC)$ I speculate range-bound, but I'm not convinced it will hit the +5%. As some tech stocks may start slowing down this time of year - or so I've noticed in the past within a similar financial climate (the instability of inter-global warfare, be it economic or by force or "pursuasion" notwithstanding)...
“If I could only hold ONE of these stocks through 2026, I’d pick $Celestica(CLS)$ because of it's long term potential. Profitability and overall financials look good and the company has great outlook and stamina possibilities. Looks like it may dip soon and then go up. Keen watcher of this stock now.”
