We are beginning a new week of trading on international financial markets. As a reminder, Friday's session saw sizable rallies in precious metals (gold and silver), which knocked out their historic or multi-year peaks. Moreover, Bitcoin broke out above $67,000, paving the way for a retest of psychologically important resistance near $70,000. On both classes of instruments, the observed movements are extended today.
