Ep 3291Sean Brodrick –  Geopolitical Volatility Continues In Oil Prices, A Solid Bounce In Precious Metals and Critical Minerals Stocks To Close Up The Rough Month Of March

[Recorded March 31st, 2026] Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to review how he is trading these volatile markets on the back of Middle East geopolitics, and a positive upswing in many sectors, including the precious metals and critical minerals stocks on the last day of March. We look ahead to April, and the trends he’ll be watching most closely. We discuss the ever-shifting narratives on the Middle East war, and the longer-term implications for oil prices, which he believes will remain more elevated than prior to this conflict, and won’t be going back down to where they were previous to this month. He is holding onto many of the oil and gas names in his portfolio, but understands why some investors may want to pull some profits after very nice moves higher. With regards to the precious metals, Sean remains bullish for gold and silver for the medium-term to longer, because all the broader fundamental macroeconomic and geopolitical factors are still in place and haven’t changed. While the central bank of Turkey has been selling gold to support their currency, and some countries in the Middle East have been rumored to be selling gold to counter losses in energy revenues, he believes that selling pressure will subside if a resolution is reached with regards to the Strait of Hormuz. He doesn’t feel the bull market in precious metals has been negated, despite all the downside price action since the January peak, as long as gold holds above $4,100. Sean and his subscriber still have good exposure to gold and silver stocks, but are now considering buying back or adding to positions that they had trimmed back in January after the big sector correction during the month of March, but constructive recent bounce. He highlighted Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) as stock that sold off hard after their recent earnings, due to higher costs from more capital spending that investors were expecting, but it also reversed back up strong to close up the month along with the sector. He sees moments like this as examples of where investors that missed a stock on the way up the first time, get another opportunity to accumulate into pullbacks. With regards to the critical minerals stocks; a wide range of the antimony, tungsten, and rare earth stocks had a big surge on the last day of March, along with the rest of the metals complex, and he noted that many will still benefit from future government funds and policy initiatives to support these important inputs into infrastructure and defense. He highlighted that he and his subscribers had done well in United States Antimony (NYSE American: UAMY)and continue to look for opportune times to add into weakness, since the US government has a been a customer and strategic partner. They are also partnered with Americas Gold and Silver in a JV to build an antimony processing plant in Idaho, to keep their production and processing domestic. Sean also highlights the positive news from Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) on March 31st, where the Board of the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("U.S. EXIM") unanimously agreed to notify Congress of a proposed $2.7 billion senior secured long-term loan for development of Perpetua's Stibnite Gold Project. With regards to a rare earth stock bouncing at month end, that may be offering a compelling entry point after a larger correction, he flagged Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) as a stock he is watching more closely. Click here to follow along with Sean’s work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

Ep 3290AbraSilver Resource – Drill Intercept Returns 72 Metres Grading 18.7 g/t Gold, 117 g/t Silver and 2.06% Copper from Surface At Newly Acquired Condoryacu Project

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins us to review the news out March 30th, reporting on the initial drill results from its ongoing Phase VI exploration program, including results from Condoryacu and Oculto East. We also discussed the upcoming catalysts of the updated Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”), Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) permit, and ongoing Phase 6 Exploration Program for the balance of 2026. The Company announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Condoryacu and Maria Amalia properties, located immediately adjacent to its flagship Diablillos project in Argentina. The acquisitions were completed following final payments of US$2.5 million for the Condoryacu property and US$250,000 for the María Amalia concession, as previously announced on February 17, 2026. At Condoryacu, initial confirmatory drilling has returned very strong results, including a broad, high-grade intercept of 72 metres grading 18.7 g/t gold, 117 g/t silver and 2.06% copper beginning at surface. These results confirm the presence of a high-grade precious and base metal mineralized system that appears to be related to the broader Oculto-JAC hydrothermal system at Diablillos. The 72-metre intercept grading 18.7 g/t gold represents the strongest gold grade-thickness intersection ever reported within the broader Diablillos district. At Oculto East, the first drill hole of the Phase VI campaign (DDH 26-001) intersected a broad, continuous zone of oxide gold and silver mineralization extending beyond the limits of the current conceptual open pit, further demonstrating the scale and continuity of the overall mineralized system. Follow-up drilling is underway as part of an extensive program to expand and define gold-silver mineralization several hundred metres east of the open pit margin. John takes us through the busy year of catalysts the company has on tap, starting with all the drilling data from Phase V being compiled into an updated Resource Estimate that will come out in parallel with their Definitive Feasibility Study, which is due out in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Additionally, the Company is awaiting their EIA permit, which will be the trigger for a construction decision later in the year. There will also be the ongoing Phase 6 exploration program expanding the deposit size and resources for the balance of the year, mostly at Oculto East and Oculto NorthEast, but with some holes at JAC, Cerro Viejo, and now other follow-up targets at Condoryacu. If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Ep 3288Blackrock Silver – 90% Increase in Indicated Mineral Resources and Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for Its Tonopah West Project

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss the results of the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its 100%-owned Tonopah West Project, located in West-Central Nevada, United States. We also delve into the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) that was prepared by RESPEC in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101, with an effective date of January 4, 2026. The Tonopah West Project is located in one of the largest historic silver districts in North America, located on private land in Nye and Esmeralda counties, Nevada, United States. Highlights of the Tonopah West PE (Ounces are troy; all tonnes metric) Disciplined Base Case Economics: Secured with a conservative long-term silver ("Ag") price of US$31 per ounce and a gold ("Au") price of US$2,700 per ounce, the Project shows robust, after-tax net present value, discounted at 5% ("NPV5%"), of $437-million, and an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 28% over an 11.2-year life of mine ("LOM") -- ensuring operational resilience through a wide range of metal price cycles; Exceptional Leverage to upside metal prices: Assessed at the 1-year analyst consensus forecast for gold and silver prices (US$66.90/oz Ag and US$4,554/oz Au), the Project delivers US$1.55B after-tax NPV5%, a 79% IRR, and a 1.4-year payback; Low Initial Capital: Calculated initial capital cost of US$190-million (including US$25-million contingency) with a base case payback period of 3.5 years; Increased Payable Metal: Enhanced mine plan delivers 89.6 million silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces, which equates to 79.6 million payable AgEq ounces -- a 14% increase in payable silver and 17% increase in payable gold as compared to the previous preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West,dated effective September 4, 2024 with a US$778-million after-tax LOM cash flow. Excellent Metallurgical Recoveries: Realized average recoveries of 91.6% for silver and 96.3% for gold from a 3-stage crushing circuit and processing plant; Unique location and infrastructure: Located on patented mineral claims (private land) adjacent to the town of Tonopah, Nevada, the Project benefits from its location, unprecedented infrastructure and profits from a stream-lined permitting process with only State and County agencies as stakeholders. The MRE encompasses the spatial areas known as Victor, DPB North, DPB South, Northwest Step Out, and the East Extension areas. The Victor area is approximately 700-metres by 350-metres while the DPB area is 700-metres by 1,100-metres. NW Step Out represents a new extension of the vein zones to west-northwest. The East Extension is an area between the DPB South area and the eastern edge of the property. The spatial areas are not considered to be significantly different geologically but have been separated for logistical purposes in future mining scenarios. Increased Indicated AgEq Ounces: Improved indicated category mineral resource estimate comprising 2.75 million tonnes grading 454 grams per tonne ("g/t") AgEq totaling 40.2 million ounces of AgEq (216.8 g/t Ag and 2.25 g/t Au for 19.2 million ounces of silver and 199,000 ounces of gold respectively) - a 90% increase over the previous mineral resource estimate on Tonopah West dated effective August 25, 2025; Large Resource with Upside Potential: Increased inferred mineral resource with 5.54 million tonnes grading 466 g/t AgEq for 83 million ounces of silver equivalent (188.5 g/t Ag and 2.62 g/t Au totaling 33.6 million ounces of silver and 467,000 ounces of gold) in an inferred mineral resource category. The vein system is open to the east, northwest and at depth; Low-cost Geometry: Used a minimum mining width of three metres (3m), and Long Hole Stoping (cheaper costs) accounts for 88% of the tonnes mined while Cut and Fill mining accounts for 12% of the tonnes; Fully-financed 17,000 metre two-phased expansion drill program commenced in February with up to 800 metre step-outs along strike NW Expansion (10 drillholes): Targeting expansion opportunities along strike of the DPBS North zone to the east and northwest with step-out holes up to 800m along strike planned Eastern Expansion (20 drillholes): The Eastern Expansion Program will follow up on the shallow, high-grade, and thick zones of silver and gold in each of the recognized structures identified in 2025.

Ep 3280Weekend Show - Brien Lundin & Dan Steffens - Metal Sell-Offs to Energy Supply Shocks: Gold, Silver, Oil and Nat Gas

This Weekend’s Show explores a stark contrast in the resource sector: a "volatility blowout" in precious metals driven by shifting Fed expectations and Western speculation, set against a backdrop of tightening global energy supplies. Guests Brien Lundin and Dan Steffens dive into why current price drops in gold and silver may be a classic "snapback" opportunity, while the oil market faces a legitimate physical deficit that the forward curve has yet to fully price in. Segment 1 & 2 - Kicking off the show Brien Lundin, editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, shares his insights on the current state of the precious metals market, explaining that recent volatility and sell-offs are largely driven by shifting expectations of Federal Reserve policy in response to an oil price spike and persistent inflation. Brien remains fundamentally bullish, viewing the downturn as a prime buying opportunity for high-quality major and junior mining stocks, particularly as the sector remains well-capitalized for extensive exploration programs in 2026.

Ep 3281Dakota Gold – Exploration and Development Update – Key Catalysts For 2026 At The Richmond Hill and Maitland Gold Projects

Jack Henris, President and COO, and Shawn Campbell, CFO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), both join me for an exploration and development update, and key catalysts on tap for the balance of 2026 that will feed into updated economics on their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project. We also outline the long-term optionality of their Maitland Gold Project, which will also being receiving some exploration work and maiden resource this year. Both projects are located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure. We start off reviewing more broad zones of mineralization that were announced over the last month from drilling at Richmond Hill. Jack highlighted that the grades being intercepted in the Northeast Project area contain much higher grades than the average overall resource grade. These results are encouraging their team to consider trade-off studies for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), to potentially access these higher-grade areas in the first several years of mining. Expansion drill hole RH25C-310 intersected 5.00 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 28.64 g/t silver (Ag) over 24.9 meters (124 gram meters Au), including 60.82 g/t Au and 61.68 g/t Ag over 1.5 meters (89 gram meters Au) and RH25C-348 intersected 2.46 g/t Au and 19.16 g/t Ag over 32.7 meters (81 gram meters Au). Expansion drill hole RH25C-359 intersected 3.14 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 10.57 g/t silver (Ag) over 13.4 meters (42 gram meters Au), including 12.25 g/t Au and 20.10 g/t Ag over 1.5 meters (19 gram meters Au). Infill drill hole RH25C-328 intersected 2.49 g/t Au and 16.63 g/t Ag over 26.9 meters (67 gram meters Au), including 18.60 g/t Au and 41.20 g/t Ag over 1.8 meters (34 gram meters Au). The 2026 Drill Campaign at Richmond Hill is underway and has completed 7,565 meters in 48 infill drill holes to date, representing one third of the total planned drilling for the year. The campaign includes 15,481 meters of drilling in 109 holes to follow up on the success from 2025 and consists of a combination of infill, expansion, geotechnical and mine plan drilling. The campaign is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year, with a steady string of assay results anticipated over the balance of the year. Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. Principle Projects are on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations. The Company will complete a Pre-Feasibility Study for Richmond Hill in the later part of 2026. With the resource expansion drilling in the north intersecting significantly higher grades than resource cutoff. This resource drilling will be complimented with an extensive metallurgical test program, so that the Company will undertake a PFS with a focus on the first ten years of mining. This work will allow the Company to report reserves in 2026 and will inform the Feasibility Study to be completed in the first half of 2027. The Company will launch a 2026 Maitland drill campaign of 5,578 meters (18,300 feet) in 44 holes. The goal of this infill drilling, when combined with historic drill results, will be to define a maiden resource for the Tertiary-aged Unionville gold Zone. Jack and Shawn highlight how these robust gold and silver resources, advantageous site infrastructure, ease of permitting on private land, and robust project economics, point to a future low-cost, long-life mining operation that can deliver high margins and generate meaningful revenues. We also review the potential for a rerating in valuation metrics when looked at through the lens of peer gold developer comparisons.

Ep 3278Liberty Gold – Sale of Gage and Goldstrike Projects – Alignment of State Permitting With Federal FAST-41 Permitting For The Black Pine Project

Jon Gilligan, President and CEO of Liberty Gold (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF), joins me for a comprehensive update on 2 non-core project divestments, to focus on the development and derisking work leading to an upcoming Feasibility Study, engineering work streams, permitting, and other future value drivers; with a move towards a construction decision in 2 years at the open-pit, heap leach Black Pine Gold Project in the Great Basin in southeastern Idaho. We start reviewing the divestment of both the Gage Project and Goldstrike Project both here in the month of March: On March 18, 2026 the Company announced that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with Blue Moon Metals Inc., to sell interests in certain unpatented critical minerals focused mining claims and School and Institutional Lands Administration (“SITLA”) leases in southern Utah (collectively, the “Gage Project”) for consideration of 420,935 common shares in Blue Moon plus a 2.0% net smelter return royalty. On March 23, 202613 the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to sell the issued and outstanding shares of the subsidiary, Specialty American Metals Inc., that owns Goldstrike Project in Utah to Heliostar Metals Ltd. for $72.5 million in total consideration. This is comprised of 1.6 million Heliostar common shares valued at approximately $2.5 million on closing of the Goldstrike Transaction, and then series of cash payments over different times and stage-gate achievements. Key updates at the flagship Black Pine project in Idaho: On February 10, 2026 the Company announced an update to the independent Mineral Resource Estimate (the “MRE”) for Black Pine, conducted by SLR Consulting Ltd. and suitable for use in a Feasibility Study (“FS”). Indicated Resource of 502.7 million tonnes (“Mt”) at an average grade of 0.30 g/t Au totalling 4,882,000 ounces (“oz”) Au; and Inferred Resource of 157.1 Mt at an average grade of 0.21 g/t Au totalling 1,050,000 oz Au. On March 23, 2026 the Company announced that a coordinated federal and state permitting schedule has been posted to the United States government permitting dashboard, pursuant to the U.S. Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Committee Council FAST-41 federal permitting framework, which provides transparency on permitting milestones and timelines. The team at Liberty Gold is working towards a Feasibility Study as a next key catalyst, but has multiple development and derisking workstreams underway. The mining strategy will be open pit, run-of-mine material (with no crushing required) onto a heap leach operation with a one-year construction period. There is ongoing metallurgical column testing underway, with results that will be released in a couple of months demonstrating the recovery rates of this method. There is engineering work underway based on the updated MRE that will feed into the Feasibility Study later this year. After the F.S., the capital stack of debt/equity/royalty/streaming will be decided upon and that will finalize in H1 2027. Initial stages of permits will arrive in late 2027, with the final record of decision expected in Q1 2028. At that point construction will begin.

Ep 3276Elemental Royalty Corp - Record FY 2025 Revenues, 2026 Guidance, and Portfolio Growth

Dave Cole, CEO of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSXV: ELE) (Nasdaq: ELE) joins us to review their record full-year 2025 financial metrics, and to look ahead to 2026 guidance. 2026 will be the first full year of results from the pro-forma combination of Elemental Altus Royalties with EMX Royalty Corporation last year, to form an emerging intermediate royalty company. We discuss a number of key royalty partner project updates, details of the new dividend policy, and the ability of the company to grow both organically and externally with 4 different business transaction approaches. 2025 Financial Highlights Record full year revenue plus attributable share of Caserones of US$49.2 million, up 128% over prior year, exceeding 2025 updated guidance of US$42 million; Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”) of 14,285 for 2025 (compared to 8,987 in 2024), driven by contributions from Karlawinda, Bonikro, Korali Sud, and Caserones, and the completion of the merger with EMX Royalty Corporation; Adjusted EBITDA of US$34.9 million, up 131% over prior year, demonstrating strong cash flow conversion; Adjusted operating cash flow of US$33.9 million, up 288% over prior year; Cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2025, of US$53.1 million and a working capital of US$80.1 million, demonstrating financial flexibility for growth. Next, we go on a global tour of their royalty portfolio of 18 producing royalties, 29 advanced development assets, and ~200 total mineral royalties globally; diversified across multiple jurisdictions and across precious metals, critical minerals, and battery metals Dave touched upon their key cornerstone producing royalty partner projects like: Leeville, Timok, Caserones, and Karlawinda, as well as a number of other solid producing royalties on Gediktepe, Balya, their suite of West African royalties (Korali-Sud, Wahgnion, and Bonikro), and the announcement by Quilla Resources on March 2nd of the successful production of first copper cathode from the Chapi Copper Project in southern Peru. Dave also flagged a few key large development projects with compelling royalty upside, as those projects move further down the pipeline towards future production, like Diablillos in Argentina, Viscaria in Sweden, Cactus in Arizona, and Laverton in Australia. In addition to growing royalties year over year, there are also a number of one-off incoming payments on pre-production royalties, that are still generating revenues via lease-option payments, stage-gate payments to advance properties, advanced minimum royalty payments; that come in by way of cash and/or shares in partner companies. We also discuss the new dividend optionality of being paid in either cash or Tether Gold tokens, (which are backed by physical gold); and the corresponding value of having Tether Investments S.A. de C.V as their key stakeholder. Dave believes their Company is on the cutting edge of marrying the value of hard assets anchored in commodities and royalty instruments, with the interest from investors in the utility of digital assets. Dave points to 4 different approaches to continue to grow future value in Elemental Royalty Corp. Beyond the organic development growth still on tap within their portfolio of royalties, there is the future upside of their continued royalty generation strategy, the potential for larger future royalty acquisitions and/or royalty financings to create new royalties, and they are always reviewing the potential for accretive M&A opportunities. The company has plenty of firepower to pursue accretive transactions; with near ~$200Million in combined cash and working capital plus a revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature.

Ep 3274Erik Wetterling – A Chasm Of Opportunity Has Opened Up In Multiple Metals Stocks

[Recorded on Monday March 23rd, 2026] Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me for a candid discussion on metals sector volatility, and the increasing disconnect we are seeing in the valuation that many of the gold, silver, and copper stocks are receiving after a violent sector correction in March. Many of the advanced explorers and developers have market caps that have cratered when compared to the value of their defined resources in the ground are worth, even after the large correction in the underlying metals prices. Erik is utilizing this correction to value-shuffle into positions that have built further value but are selling off due to the general negative market sentiment. “Volatility is the poor man’s dry powder.” He points to all the opportunities to take advantage of panic-selling, through micro-trading amongst positions that have held up better and those seeing disproportionate selling or that have lagged despite positive news catalysts. He points out that: “What you do in a serious market correction is going to set your portfolio up for years into the future.” “I can’t afford to sell the lows of a correction, especially if I know where the long-term trend is going over the next 10 years” We review the valuation disconnects between the market caps of companies that have corrected by 30%-60% just in the month of March, versus where the NPV of the projects still are at anywhere near spot metals prices. “With the gold juniors, you don’t really care if gold is at $5,500 or $4,500 because that is already so much overkill.” “The lower this sector goes with this panic-selling, the odds increase that there are new multi-baggers being born everyday from these valuation levels.” Erik is seeing compelling valuations in the silver and copper developers, in the 2nd leg of the Lassonde Curve, as well as the legitimate gold juniors, with 3rd-party validation and large strategic investors adding value to projects of merit.

Ep 3273Silver Tiger Metals – Construction Decision Has Been Approved And First Gold-Silver Pour At El Tigre Is Targeted For December 2027

Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), joins us for a very key development update and Company milestone. The press release March 18th stated that the Board of Directors of Silver Tiger Metals has approved the construction decision of the surface mine; with commissioning and first pour targeted for December, 2027; at the El Tigre Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. We started off with a brief reminder on why the Company elected to take the recent financing, which closed on February 18th, in lieu of a much larger debt package with restrictive covenants. That appears to have been the right decision to bolster its strong financial position, especially in light of the market volatility that we’ve seen across the whole precious metals complex since then. Silver Tiger has over US$86 million (or ~C$120 million) cash to execute on the immediate development initiatives. The Company is also nearing completion of a debt financing package, with term sheets advanced and negotiations narrowed to select providers to provide flexible, non-dilutive capital options to support combined surface and underground development at El Tigre. Silver Tiger just announced that it has entered into an Engineering Procurement and Construction Management Contract ("EPCM") with Kappes, Cassidy & Associates ("KCA") and Kappes, Cassiday del Norte S de RL de CV ("KCN") to assist in the construction of the mine and process plant at El Tigre. The Company has also now hired its own experienced mine construction executive team to work with KCA and KCN. Significant development progress has already been made to date including: Basic engineering for the Mine has been prepared by KCA and is 90% complete Engineering for the heap leach and waste dump for the Mine has been completed by WSP Land clearing for the Mine construction area has commenced, including flora and fauna rescue The personnel camp for the Mine and the construction offices have been designed and are currently in a bid process Engineering for improvements to the 46 km road from Colonia Morelos to El Tigre, which was built by the Corporation in 2023 and 2024, is complete and the contract to carry out the road improvements is currently in a bid process The Company is nearing completion of its ongoing metallurgical and geotechnical drilling program in the Stockwork Zone, with this program expected to wrap up within the next 30 days. Upon completion, the Company will immediately transition to exploration drilling targeting the high-potential vein systems north of the main El Tigre area, near the historic North Tigre Mine. This priority zone aligns directly with the El Tigre North Mine Design outlined in Section 24 of the Company's recently filed Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA dated January 20, 2026).

Ep 3271Trader Ferg - Betting on Coal, Corn, and Uranium Amid Geopolitical Strife

In this Daily Editorial, we welcome back Trader Ferg, an independent speculator and author of the popular Trader Ferg Substack. As geopolitical conflicts continue to reshape global trade, Ferg joins us to discuss the structural "off-ramps" disappearing in the energy sector and where he is finding the most asymmetric value in a volatile market. Discussion Highlights: The Global LNG Shortfall: The discussion begins with the severe damage to Qatari LNG infrastructure, which Ferg notes could take years to fully recover. This has led to a massive energy deficit in Europe and Asia. The Strategic Pivot to Coal: With LNG supplies constrained, Ferg highlights the "knife fight" for coal in the Asian cooling season. He identifies high-quality thermal coal as a primary beneficiary of the current energy gap. Agriculture and the Fertilizer Link: Ferg explains why he is bullish on Corn, citing the massive disruption in fertilizer shipments through the Strait of Hormuz during peak planting season. The Structural Bull Case for Uranium: The conversation shifts to the nuclear sector, where Ferg emphasizes that energy security concerns are forcing countries like Japan, China, and South Korea to pivot back to uranium as a reliable baseload power source. Constraints on the AI Energy Buildout: Ferg expresses skepticism regarding the rapid expansion of AI data centers, noting that the physical constraints of the U.S. electrical grid.

Ep 3268Omai Gold Mines – Next Batch of High-Grade Gold Drill Results At Wenot Will Feed Into The Upcoming Combined Resource Estimate and Updated PEA

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for an exploration update, with mineralization expanding upon the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company’s 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America. We also discuss the dual path of the company now, split between exploration, and all the project derisking being factored into development and the upcoming updated economic study. The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit, with a combined updated MRE of: 2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt Multiple drills have been turning from the second half of 2025 through present where an additional ~18,000 meters of new drilling was completed at the Omai Gold property, which will then factor into the imminent updated project Resource Estimate. That updated model will then be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), slated for Q2 of 2026. Multiple zones of gold mineralization were intersected in each of these recent assays from drills holes released February 25th, which will be included in the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). Highlights from the recent drill holes include: Hole 25ODD-119W 4.18 g/t Au over 14.6m; including 9.12 g/t Au over 4.1m 2.38 g/t Au over 23.3m; including 3.95 g/t Au over 11.8m 07 g/t Au over 27.4m; including 11.64 g/t Au over 1.1m 73 g/t Au over 17.3m; including 8.61 g/t Au over 5.1m Hole 25ODD-150W3 1.94 g/t Au over 30.3m; including 3.03 g/t Au over 15.9m, and also including 14.35 g/t Au over 2.5m Hole 25ODD-159 1.75 g/t Au over 19.3m, and 14.45 g/t Au over 2.5m The Company is also pleased to announce that next phase of exploration, with a 50,000-metre diamond drill program has commenced. It is designed to further pursue opportunities to expand the overall Omai gold resources, explore certain nearby geophysical anomalies, while continuing the priority work of upgrading the categories from inferred to indicated in the large Wenot resource; which is an important next step. We discussed some of the regional targets of focus at Wenot East, the Camp Zone, BBH, and the Wenot "Handle Target", highlighted through geophysics studies. This updated Preliminary Economic Assessment will be building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot. That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources there at Wenot, nor did it include the underground project economics from the Gilt Creek deposit. The updated PEA slated for next quarter will be much more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately. Next we reviewed the results from the very long hole, over 2,000 meters in length, that was drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over into the area deep under the Wenot deposit. The geological thesis of drill hole # 25ODD–122W held up proving that there are additional deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization at Wenot. This points to the much longer mine life that is inferred, even though there has not yet been extensive drilling at depth, below known Wenot mineralization, prior to that hole proving the geological thesis. Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis, recent metallurgical testing, the ongoing permitting process work towards the EIA, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering all the data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.

Ep 3263Nick Hodge – Market Reactions To War In The Middle East, Accumulating The Volatility in Gold, Uranium, and Critical Minerals Stocks

[Recorded March 18th, 2026] Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins me for our monthly longer-format discussion on different macroeconomic factors and market reactions to the war in the Middle East, and how he continuing to accumulate select stocks into the volatility in gold, royalty, uranium, and critical minerals resource stocks. We start off discussing the macro factors moving the markets, from slowing growth and lower GDP readings quarter over quarter, to rising inflation numbers, surging oil prices, and a higher US dollar in response to the geopolitical tensions. Whereas oil has a near 90% correlation with the UD dollar, gold has been negatively correlated, dropping while the greenback has moved higher. Shifting over to the corrective moves in gold, silver, and the precious metals stocks, Nick points out that investors must know what they own, understand the thesis on why they own it, and have confidence in the coming catalysts and teams ability to execute. If investors have this understanding and conviction in their stock selections, then they’ll be able to hold through any corrective moves, like what we’ve been seeing across the board in March. He points out that we are still in a structural bull market in the precious metals due to a number of macroeconomic factors, and believes buying into extreme weakness will be rewarded in the future. We then pivoted over to the advantages of the royalty stock business model, and he highlighted the value proposition that he sees in Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD) and how he utilized the strategy of setting targeted limit orders to take advantage of market volatility and acquire a larger position recently. Shifting over to the junior mining stocks, Nick highlighted the corrective moves and lack of buying volume in some of names he’s been acquiring like North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V:NSU) and Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (OTC Pink: DGCOF). This transitioned the conversation over into some of the macro drivers of nuclear power and the need for new uranium discoveries. Wrapping up we briefly covered the renewed investor interest and participation in critical minerals companies focused on rare earths, antimony, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, scandium, and germanium. With regards to rare earths, he mentioned Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), due to their ability to mine mineral sands projects globally, to then separate, and process rare earths domestically. Nick also flagged PMET Resources Inc. (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) as a company that not only has a world-class lithium project, but also compelling caesium and tantalum resources.

Ep 3262GoldQuest Mining - Ongoing Drilling Will Feed Into Resource Update and BFS On Romero Gold-Copper-Silver-Zinc Project

Luis Santana, CEO and Director of GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSXV: GQC) (OTCQX: GDQMF), joins me for a comprehensive introduction to this Canadian exploration and development company, with strong participation from Dominican investors, focused on advancing its gold, copper, silver, and zinc assets in the Dominican Republic. The Company has a Board of Directors and management team with prior experience developing and operating a mine in the country, and they are drilling to move towards an updated Resource Estimate and Bankable Feasibility Study later in 2026. We start off reviewing the history of the company where the initial resource and project economics were outlined on the Romero and Romero South deposits back in 2016, bringing in Agnico Eagle as a key stakeholder. Then in 2017 a new discovery was made at the Cachimbo area, but there were organized community protests and the company went dormant for a few years, with out the surrounding community buy-in. Then in 2022 Luis was chosen as CEO to work on the social license and advancing the Romero Project once again. After a few years of community outreach, engagement, and education, there is finally a majority support for advancing the project. The Company today has 57 employees and ~150 contractors working on the ground, and the exploration team is finishing up a 5,000 meter drill program at Cachimbo. There is additional exploration going on around Romero and Romero south that will factor into the updated Resource Estimate and BFS later this year. These are polymetallic VMS deposits that contain gold, copper, silver, and zinc mineralization, giving them an internally hedged advantage, and the ability to highlight the critical minerals for permitting and strategic importance of the Project.

Ep 3261Joel Elconin – Geopolitical Volatility, Contagion Effects From Higher Oil Prices, Picks and Shovels Trades, And Quad-Witch Expiration

In this episode of The KE Report, host Shad Marquitz sits down with Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect a market that appears to have rolled over into a corrective period. With oil prices surging, a disruptive geopolitical backdrop, the major averages testing near-term support, and the Quadruple Witching Expiration tomorrow, Joel provides a candid, sobering assessment of the macroeconomic and geopolitical forces currently rattling investors. Key Discussion Points: Geopolitical Catalysts and Inflation: The direct link between global conflict, surging oil prices, an increase inflation, and lower expectations for near-term rate cuts from the Fed. High Oil Price Contagion Effect: Everything from airline prices to shipping containers is seeing rising prices, and with higher prices at the gas pump, and businesses passing along higher freight and input costs, this could slow down the economy. The “R” Word: Is a Recession looming in the future if economic growth contracts, and when paired with higher inflation, loss of jobs, and rising energy costs, are we actually drifting towards Stagflation? Loss of Market Momentum: Why the choppy technical action in the S&P 500 and Dow suggests a waning appetite for risk among investors in early 2026. Picks and Shovels: Joel is favoring hardware over software, in a market that is selling off AI stocks, in favor of hardware companies like Micron, Scandisk, Modine Manufacturing, and MasTec The Nvidia is still the biggest hardware stock in the market: Joel dives into the forward guidance and analyst expectations for NVDA and what that means for the weighted indexes. Agriculture Hardware: As farmers scramble to lock down fertilizer supplies for planting season, Joel remains more animated by farming equipment manufacturers like John Deer and Caterpillar. Quad-Witch Expiration on Friday: These can be important days where institutional positions come off the board, and we see a change in direction or an acceleration of a trend.

Ep 3260West Red Lake Gold Mines – Comprehensive Visual Exploration Update Of Multiple Drill Targets At Both Madsen And Rowan

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG) (OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me for an expanded visual presentation on a number of underground and surface exploration targets of focus at and near the Madsen Mine and Rowan Deposit, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada. We start off with the big picture lay of the land across the Madsen Mine area, and then vector in on the new high-grade gold results from the 4447 Zone and 904 Complex areas at South Austin. Will also highlights the speed at which their team can turn a geologic thesis, into drill results, and then get that data into the mine plan, with their improving understanding of the geological model and underground infrastructure advantages. We also review the planned work to develop the 13-level exploration drift to get over into parts of Austin, East Drive, and Derlak areas that haven’t had good underground access for drilling. The ultra high-grade 8-Zone is reviewed again, with Will pointing out that the narrow zone of mineralization is open in both directions and more exploration along trend is required. Moving up closer to surface, we spend some time outlining how their exploration and engineering teams completed a re-evaluation of the Fork deposit pointing to its shallow, high-grade, low-plunging zone of gold mineralization that is located approximately 250 meters southwest from existing underground development at Madsen. The exploration team did another 3,000 meters of definition drilling from surface last year, which demonstrated in the value in eventually tunneling over from McVeigh into some of the high-grade areas of mineralization while also looking for mineralized extensions. Then even further over from Fork is the historic producing Starratt-Olsen mine, which has shown promising high-grade gold mineralization at depth and will be getting some exploration focus in the year to come. Rounding it out at surface, Will flagged a number of other priority greenfields exploration targets like North Shore, Upper 8, Faulkenham, and Killoran. These areas have returned compelling mapping, soil sampling, and limited drilling in the past, and warrant more follow up in the exploration seasons to come. If you have any follow up questions for Will or the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email them into me at [email protected].

Ep 3257Dave Erfle - What's the new floor for gold

In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Dave Erfle, the founder and editor of Junior Miner Junkie, to break down the current state of the precious metals sector. Despite a recent pullback, Dave provides a technical and fundamental perspective on why the current market action is a "positive correction" rather than a breakdown. The discussion covers the macro environment influencing gold and silver, the looming pressure on the Federal Reserve, and why certain junior mining stocks remain incredible value plays even as energy costs rise. Key Discussion Points: Gold and Silver Technicals: Dave analyzes the consolidation patterns for gold at the $5,000 level and silver at $80, noting that the current symmetrical triangle formation suggests a strong base is being built for the next leg up. The Federal Reserve’s Dilemma: An exploration of the "stagflation trap" where the Fed must choose between cutting rates to support slowing GDP or holding rates to fight geopolitical-driven inflation that they cannot control. Mining Equity Divergence: Insight into why the GDX and GDXJ have pulled back despite high metal prices and why this disconnect offers a "gentleman’s entry" for investors who missed the initial bull run. Junior vs. Producer Risks: A look at how rising energy prices act as a headwind for large open-pit producers like Newmont (NEM), shifting the tactical advantage toward early-stage developers with high-margin projects.

Ep 3259Sean Brodrick –  Adding Energy, Fertilizer, and Chemical Stocks Into Rising Oil Prices, Trimming Some PM Stock Gains, Holding On To Critical Minerals Stocks

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to review how he is trading these volatile markets on the back of Middle East geopolitics. He is adding to energy, fertilizer, and chemical stocks on the back of rising oil prices, trimming back some gold and silver stock gains, and holding steady with select critical minerals stocks that may benefit from future government funds and policy initiatives. We start off in a general discussion on what the higher oil prices may mean for inflation trends, fiscal and monetary policy, and trade amongst nations. Dialing into the energy stocks, Sean is avoiding some international oil service companies that may be impacted negatively by the Strait of Hormuz being closed. Conversely, Sean is adding to quality North and South American energy companies like Petrobas (PBR) and Cenovus Energy (CVE), and through the State Street SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP), that are benefiting from increased revenues and growth due to the higher oil prices. With regards to the fertilizer and chemical companies, Sean likes names like CF Industries Holdings (CF), Nutrien Ltd (NTR), and The Mosaic Company (MOS), due to their competitive ability to utilize cheap North American natural gas and processing to export fertilizer and chemicals overseas to areas that have higher nat gas prices and are affected by constrained supply of key ingredients with the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint still in effect. Sean remains bullish for medium-term and longer-term in the precious metals, because all the broader fundamental macroeconomic and geopolitical factors are still in place and haven’t changed. Despite that outlook, in the short-term, he has been trimming back gains in a few silver and gold stocks, like Avino Silver and Gold (ASM), to raise funds for deploying into other sectors. He reiterated the point that this is not ‘panic-selling,’ or giving up on the precious metals thesis; but rather, strategically taking gains for swing trades in other areas of the market. However, after the wild price volatility in both directions for gold and silver in January and early February, he believes that we are likely now going to trend sideways in a price range for the near-term; basing for a while before the next move to the upside. With regards to critical minerals, Sean remains quite interested in the metals of strategic importance to defense for the US and the world at large, like rare earths, antimony, and tungsten. He highlighted United States Antimony (NYSE American: UAMY) which has the US government as a partner as the kind of company that he’s been holding in his portfolio. Sean highlights the US Pentagon and Defense Department is allocating $200 Billion to invest in mineral development and processing for national defense, and highlights that domestic critical minerals stocks in rare earths, antimony, and tungsten have a higher likelihood of benefitting from these initiatives.

Ep 3256Power Metallic Mines – Exploration Update Expanding The Lion Zone and Nisk Regional Targets, Met Test Success, Upcoming Resource and PEA, Projects in Chile and Saudi Arabia

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update catching up on multiple news releases from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec. We discuss recent drill results at the Lion Zone, pending results still at the assay lab, but also review 4 key regional exploration targets of interest for 2026 drilling. Additionally we touch upon the successful metallurgical testing recovery results, and other value drivers in Chilean Metals spin-out, and upcoming work at the Jabal Baudan Exploration License in Saudi Arabia. Infill and expansion drilling has continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drilling on the Lion zone has shown that the interpreted zone geometry has high repeatability raising the confidence level for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification. Internally the Lion Zone drilling continues to surprise with very high-grade holes. Hole PML-26-049, the first hole of the 2026 winter drill campaign, was drilled to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion zone near surface. It resulted in the best copper intersection to date on the Lion Zone, intersecting massive to brecciated Cu sulphides over 16.55m @ 10.08% Cu (15.11% CuEqRec1). This hole greatly expands the zone near surface that may be amenable to early open pit extraction in a possible future mining operation. The exploration team has an ongoing six-rig drill program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone and at depth testing the potential “Elephant Zone,” and also at Lion West, at the Tiger Deep Zone. Additionally, new polymetallic targets are being refined from surveys at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone, there will be more step-out drilling focused on to connecting more of the 5.5km corridor and “Gap Area” between Lion and NISK Main. There are still about 20,000+ meters of core being processed at the lab, and continued drilling that will keep going through April that should see a steady string of drill results coming back in over the next few months. All the drilling data from the end of last year and this year will be added to prior results into a new resource update and then PEA later in the year. Then 30,000+ additional meters that will be drilled throughout 2026, starting up again in the summer. On January 19, 2026, Power Metallic Mines provided preliminary metallurgical results performed by SGS Canada Ltd at its laboratories based in Quebec City, QC, and Lakefield, ON, from representative samples of Lion zone mineralization sent over back in October 2025. An initial Lock Cycle Test within coarse grained chalcopyrite and cubanite returned a sulphide concentrate grading 25.8% Copper containing very high metal recoveries of Copper (98.9%), Palladium (93.9%), Platinum (96.8%), Gold (85.0%) and Silver (88.9%), exceeding Power Metallics most optimistic estimates for recovery prior to this test work. On Feb. 19, 2026, Chilean Metals Inc (TSX.V: CMCG) commenced trading. Chilean Metals was created through a spin-out from Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) in February 2025, At time of spin-out ownership was 50% Power Metallic and 50% the Power Metallic shareholders of record January 31 2025. The new Company was created with a focused exploration mandate and a project portfolio spanning two of the most geologically fertile mining belts in the Americas. We also touched upon upcoming exploration at their 100% controlled Jabal Baudan Exploration License in Saudi Arabia: Power Metallic announced on June 16th that it was awarded the exploration license for the Jabal Baudan project in Saudi Arabia’s Jabal Sayid Mineralized Belt. This historic milestone positions Power Metallic as one of the few foreign companies with mining concessions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having secured a successful bid in this prestigious licensing process.

Ep 3247Stillwater Critical Minerals – A Visual Exploration Update Of The 2025 Drill Program and Key Catalysts In 2026

[Recorded March 13th, 2026 – There is a technical glitch in Danie’s display for the first 45 seconds and then it comes into the video] — Michael Rowley, President & CEO, Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice President of Exploration, and Justin Modroo, Project Geophysicist, of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) provide different layers of input to this exclusive video roundtable with these 3 officers of the Company. We get a visual review the evolving geological understanding from the 2025 drill program, with key exploration initiatives on tap for 2026, and the value proposition at the Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana. Mike outlines that their Stillwater West Project is a very large polymetallic resource with a substantial copper inventory and the largest nickel project in an active U.S. mining district, in addition to palladium, platinum, rhodium, copper, cobalt, chromium, and gold; plus as yet unquantified amounts of ruthenium and iridium. Overall, Stillwater West is uniquely positioned to become a primary source of 10 commodities now listed as critical, given their location immediately adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater’s operating mine complex in Montana. Danie shares an overview of the structural controls of the geological environment that hosts the mineralization, using the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex as analog, and how their five “Platreef-style” (or contact-type) Ni-Cu-Co-PGE+Au deposits may tie together in a larger sense. He goes on to outline why their 2025 exploration initiatives were successful and shows the semi-massive to massive sulfides in the drill core, and in the assays that have been reported thus far. He also shares how there are several mineralized events in the sulfides bringing in pockets of higher-grade polymetallic zones within the overall bulk tonnage type of deposit Justin goes on to highlight what they are learning from the geophysical surveys over their district-scale land package, and why their team has high-confidence in the upcoming 2026 drill program, to keep stepping out along the parameters and character of this mineralized trend. Highlights and upcoming catalysts: The 2025 drill campaign is now complete, totaling 3,471m in eight holes, with all assays pending near-term release (the first 2 holes results were leased in news out today a few days after the recording of this interview) The updated MRE will incorporate 14 drill holes totaling 5,781 meters (“m”) from the 2023 and 2025 programs, plus select historic holes not included in the current estimate. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in the latter part of H1 2026, and it will mark the next step in advancing Stillwater West as a potential large-scale source of ten minerals listed as critical in the U.S. The update will build upon the January 25, 2023, Inferred Mineral Resource and results will support further technical studies and economic assessments.

Ep 3246Robert Sinn –Technical and Fundamental Outlook On Gold, Silver, Copper, PM Producers and Developers, Recent Takeover Transactions, and 3 Explorers Worth Reviewing

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins us for another wide-ranging discussion on the shifting sector sentiment, the technical outlook on gold, silver, copper, the fundamental valuations in producers and developers, thoughts on recent merger and acquisition deals, and the value propositions in 3 exploration stocks. We start off unpacking the seasonality of the metals and mining stock prices from tax loss selling season, into the year-end Santa Claus rally, the blistering Q1 run higher in January, the post-VRIC correction and peak in investor sentiment late in that month, the February chop, and the PDAC curse and further corrective moves down in March. Robert fields a few of our questions on how he is viewing the changes in valuations to the gold and silver stocks from last year into this year, and even from January peaks to recent corrective moves. We opine what aspects are important with regards to contrast in PM producers margin expansion versus their more recent share price corrections Robert highlights a few P/NAV considerations for producers and developers, that have changed over the last year The discussion then shifts to why we aren’t witnessing a bigger string of M&A transactions and why the valuations aren’t higher? The conversation on gold stocks ranges from valuations in large producers like Newmont and Agnico Eagle down to quality developers like Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) and best-in-class advanced explorers like Snowline Gold Corp. (TSX:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF). We also dissect the nuance around ounce-in-the-ground valuations, and the other criteria that can affect market perceptions, using the Fresnillo takeover of Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) as a case study. Next we dive into the copper market, and how this is where we are actually seeing more merger and acquisition deals. Robert highlights the recent takeover of Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX: ASCU; OTCQX: ASCUF) Cactus Project at all-time highs by Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX, NYSE: HBM) as the more ideal type of acquisition that we’d like to see more of in this space. We also note the Eldorado Gold acquisition of Foran Mining, and the Faraday Copper acquisition of BHP’s San Manuel Project as 2 other recent copper M&A deals. He also highlights the lack of quality tier-1 gold and silver development projects, and that this may be why more of the senior gold producers are focused on getting strategic positions into copper assets. With regards to the explorers, Robert is focused on exciting mineral belts that may host a string of new discoveries in US states like Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona or Canadian provinces like British Columbia or the Yukon. Robert highlights 3 explorers with compelling news catalysts on tap that have his attention this year in Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR) OTCQB:KGFMF), StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF), and Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) Wrapping up, Robert provides some best practices regarding navigating the trading volatility, when raise cash in one’s portfolio, when to considering trimming or selling, and how to rotate funds based on fundamental or technical factors.

Ep 3244Marc Chandler - Middle East Conflict: Calculating the Economic Impact In The US, Fed Policy, Currencies

In this episode, we welcome back Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and Editor of the Marc to Market website. Marc joins us to unpack the heavy impact of current geopolitical tensions on global markets, specifically focusing on the escalating conflict in Iran. We dive deep into how war is currently the primary fundamental driving market behavior, overshadowing even major domestic data like US GDP revisions. Key Discussion Points: The Energy Inflation Formula: For every 10% increase in the price of oil, the PCE deflator typically sees a 0.2% boost. We discuss the massive 54% spike in WTI contracts over the last month and what that means for your wallet at the pump. Central Bank Pivot or Pause: Before the conflict, markets were pricing in multiple Fed rate cuts; now, the odds of a cut before the midterms have vanished, with some even anticipating potential hikes. The Dollar as a Safety Net: Why the US Dollar remains a "safe haven" during global unrest, fueled by market positioning adjustments and the liquidation of higher-risk assets like Mexican bonds. The Myth of Stagflation: Marc challenges the current stagflation narrative by comparing today’s energy dependency to the 1970s, suggesting that while growth is slowing, we aren't seeing a repeat of the double-digit misery of the past. Global Interest Rate Swings: A look at how the Eurozone and UK have shifted from expecting rate cuts to bracing for hikes as inflation expectations become unanchored.
