On Tuesday of this week, Trump said that a peace deal with Iran was possible in the next “two or three days.”
On Wednesday, he then said Iran “will have to pay the price” for taking too long to negotiate a deal.
This was a quick turnaround in sentiment, even for him. Predictably, the market responded accordingly, with oil rising and the broader indices falling as missiles continued flying.
Now the market is reacting to yet another possible peace deal.
We’ve seen this pattern play out time and again over the past few weeks to the point where it has started to become background noise. The volatility and unpredictability have become the norm and many traders and market watchers are having trouble making sense of what to do in a market that seems to have next to no coherent direction.
And if that wasn’t enough of an obstacle to grapple with, things are getting worse on a general economic level too.
Just look at the inflation news from this week, where it came out that prices rose 4.2% year-over-year, up from 3.8% the month prior.
That’s the fastest rate in 3 years and a direct response to the latest ongoing Middle East misadventure.
Households are being pushed to the brink financially, with much of that pressure manifesting in the form of higher energy prices. That, of course, has been rippling out into related areas like food and transportation. With no end to the hostilities in sight, consumer sentiment has been on a steady decline.
That’s only going to escalate in the coming months, thanks to dwindling oil reserves that will put more pressure on gas prices. And, if that weren’t bad enough, this is all in the shadow of an environment that is unlikely to see any rate cuts from the Federal Reserve at any point this year.
At best, the market can hope that the new chair maintains rates over the next few meetings, but there is a growing chance that interest rates will go up at some point. A lot of this is going to depend on whether inflation cools in the near term, and how much it cools if it does.
Trump’s rhetoric doesn’t inspire confidence in that regard, given how much inflation is tied to the war, so it’s increasingly up to investors to prepare accordingly.
That means controlling what’s in your portfolio and taking advantage of market pullbacks to continue building.
In the context of what we’re seeing now, that means continuing to stockpile precious metals investments the way governments are stockpiling the physical metals themselves. Uranium, copper, and rare earth metals used for defense and aerospace have benefited from recent market turbulence and have also pulled back because of it. But as we’ve been saying, their long-term prospects are promising because demand is going up while supply dwindles and investors shouldn’t let short-term volatility cloud their view of the long-term horizon.
That means looking at the mining companies that can supply the metals that are going up in demand, like lithium.
It means looking at the mining companies that can supply the rare earths the US has traditionally gotten from hostile countries like China.
It means looking at the mining companies that are able to provide the uranium needed to power the growing number of nuclear power plants being built as the world transitions away from fossil fuels.
It means looking at the mining companies that are bringing gold to market as it tests support levels, even in its current bull market.
It’s safe to say that we’re in a strange and whiplash-inducing market, but there is a clear path forward if you know where to look.
Here in the US, the government has been taking steps to establish an independent supply chain and there is a small handful of companies that will benefit the most.
One in particular has a land package spanning 350 acres in South Dakota, land that hasn’t been touched in over a century.
Not only does this property contain gold, but it also contains six critical minerals the government has been targeting in order to establish an independent supply chain. The government has set aside billions for this project and this company could be a big beneficiary of that.
Most of this company’s shares are held by individual investors because it hasn’t received any major coverage, at least not yet.
That’s why you want to buy in now, before more people find out. Because this company will likely be one of the biggest stories in the sector once the smart money learns about it.
