The Monday Morning Playbook: Week of February 2, 2026

Just how much of a problem is defensive leadership?

Good morning,

If you looked at the major indexes and interest rates, this market couldn’t be more quiet and boring.

If you look literally anywhere else, there are absolutely explosive and wild moves everywhere.

I don’t see some easy narrative that ties it all together, so let’s just focus on what those moves are, what are the bets to make, what are the bets to avoid, and how we can best position ourselves for what is shaping up as one of the most exciting years in recent financial market history.

This week’s report will review:

  • Last week’s performance

  • February seasonality

  • European equities and currency markets

  • Technology stocks

  • Defensive leadership and implications

  • Harsh reversals in precious metals

  • The breakout in crude oil

  • and more!
