Weekly Charter, edition of 2026-07-18

Earlier edition format. This edition was published before the five market reading, and it is shown with the four pillars it carried.

This week in three points

Carrier: the equity trend remains solid and broad.

Contradiction: the rise in raw materials is not being reflected by gold.

Condition: a return of the safety-seeking behavior would change the reading.

The four pillars

This edition reads four pillars. Government bonds joined the reading later, and nothing here stands in for them.
