The past year was a difficult one overall for the metals, with the main standouts to the upside being a geopolitical risk-driven gain in gold, a China-driven rise in iron ore and a surge in uranium on broadening global support for nuclear power (Figure 1). A jump in global interest rates to near two-decade highs saw recession fears persist all year, and while one still did not actually eru...Read More

This year the post-global health crisis boom was brought to an end by a surge in inflation to forty-year highs, a major rise in global interest rates in an attempt to curb the rising prices and surging geopolitical risk after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While precious metals held up reasonably well as markets turned to them as a risk hedge, by Q2/22 the higher interest rates put an end t...Read More

The Golden Triangle in northwestern British Columbia has historically been a major site of Canadian gold production, beginning as early as the mid 1800s.

One of the downsides to saving large sums of cash is it starts to burn a hole in your pocket. When I was a kid, my grandparents would occasionally give me a $10 bill after I'd go visit for a week. I had zero tolerance for saving back then, so I would spend it on candy and comic books almost immediately. Since then, I've built up a pretty good tolerance against spending cash. I've seen too many fin...Read More
