Elsewhere, we break down the commodity performance for the first half of the year, talk gold's comeback from key support, the lay of the land in currencies, Apple's rally, Tesla dump late yesterday on a new Musk-Trump exchange and much more.

Crude oil and USDJPY whiplash. Tesla fans ignore shaky autonomous driving debut.

Also, Tesla couldn't have timed its autonomous driving service debut better, as the stock soared despite shaky performance in at least one report. This and a discussion of gold and more on today's pod, which features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen, with Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy hosting.
