Metals customers drown in headlines: central banks, geopolitics, ETF flows, mine disruptions, “safe haven” takes. Without a filter, every alert feels mandatory. With a filter, most alerts become optional background.

Priority tier A — usually worth a check

  • Scheduled macro prints that historically move USD and yields.
  • Clear, large positioning or inventory data you already track.
  • Structural policy shifts — not rumors of shifts.

Priority tier B — context only

  • Opinion columns restating last week’s move.
  • Unverified geopolitical chatter without market acceptance.
  • Influencer targets without invalidation.

The only question that matters after a headline

Did Weekly/Daily structure change, or did only the comment section change? If structure is intact, your plan can stay intact. If structure breaks, update the plan — not your identity.

News is an input. Invalidation is a rule.

Build a 10-minute news ritual

  1. Scan tier A sources only.
  2. Mark whether today is event risk.
  3. Re-check Daily levels.
  4. Decide: full size, half size, or flat research day.
