Gold surges, juniors revalue, and traders eye sector rotations – insights from Axel Merk (Merk Investments) and Dana Lyons (Lyons Share Pro).

This weekend’s KE Report show dives deep into the accelerating precious metals bull market and broad market setups. In the first half, Axel Merk breaks down gold’s breakout, the financing wave in juniors, and what signals to watch for a market top. In the second half, Dana Lyons shares model-driven strategies across equities, tech, small caps, bonds, and crypto, plus his take on how to trade stretched metals markets.

Segment 1 & 2 - Axel Merk, President & CIO of Merk Investments and manager of the ASA fund, joins to unpack gold’s breakout after a five-month consolidation, the rare risk-off mix of falling bonds and rising gold, and how Fed-cut expectations, stronger miner margins, and improving junior financing/M&A could keep the move running. He also flags what would signal a top—overpaying deals, loosening discipline, and valuation models chasing higher gold assumptions.

Segment 3 & 4 - Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of Lyons Share Pro, joins to discuss why his risk models remain broadly bullish since late April while advocating short-term “digestion,” highlighting rotation among high-RS sectors (tech consolidating; utilities/staples and miners in focus), small-cap and dividend setups, standout international plays (notably China), sideways bonds, overbought but intact trends in gold/silver, strength in platinum and copper miners, constructive uranium consolidation, and buy-the-dip levels in Bitcoin/Ethereum. He outlines taking profits into strength and redeploying on support as the seasonally weak Sept–early Oct window plays out.
