Precious Metals: The Macro Picture
Join CEOs of precious metals companies and newsletter writer Brien Lundin for a robust conversation on the economic forces driving gold and silver prices right now. With gold pulling back from January's record highs even as conflict in the Middle East threatens oil supply, and markets pricing in Fed rate hikes rather than cuts, the panel digs into why the traditional safe haven playbook seems to have broken down and what that means for investors. Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse of Contango Silver & Gold and Luke Alexander of Newcore Gold bring the operator's perspective on running and building mines through this volatility, while Brien Lundin draws on decades of watching metals cycles to separate the signal from the noise. From central bank buying and ballooning US debt to whether mining equities can finally close the gap with metal prices, this is a candid look at where the precious metals market goes from here.
