Description
Copper just hit a fresh record high while the government kicked its shutdown deadline down the road again -- Tom Sosnoff, Tony Battista, and Scott Sheridan break down what's actually driving both. They get into whether nearly 40% of stock trading happening in dark pools should worry you, why one host thinks the copper rally is just tariff front-running, and how they're positioning trades heading into a volatile midterm season. Plus: NFL team valuations, the Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery merger fight, and real caller questions on idle cash and portfolio margin.

Copper's move to fresh highs is landing right as tariff speculation and real supply tightness both look plausible, which is exactly the kind of setup that makes a rally hard to trust. Dark pools now handle close to 40% of US equity volume, a share that keeps climbing every year and raises real questions about what "the market price" even means anymore. Add in a government funding fight that just got punted to December, right before a contentious midterm cycle, and traders have a genuinely uncertain few months ahead. This episode also covers how experienced option sellers actually behave during volatility spikes, not just the theory.
