    China's Secret Oil Strategy During The Iran War ~ Doomberg

    Doomberg is an energy and geopolitical analyst known for his sharp macro insights and deep understanding of global commodity markets. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Doomberg's Substack ๐Ÿ“ฉ Free Substack Newsletter Recording Date 5-26-2026. In this episode, Doomberg joins Steve Barton to break down the hidden mechanics behind oil markets, strategic petroleum reserves, China's possible secret stockpiling of crude, and why oil prices failed to reach the levels many expected during escalating Middle East tensions. Doomberg explains how governments actively intervene to suppress speculative oil spikes and why the global energy system proved far more resilient than many analysts predicted. The discussion also explores how China may have quietly accumulated enormous oil reserves while global markets misunderstood demand trends for years. Throughout the conversation, Doomberg challenges conventional narratives around peak oil, energy scarcity, and commodity investing. Doomberg also dives into the growing danger of attacks on global energy infrastructure and warns that the normalization of pipeline sabotage and refinery strikes could permanently reshape geopolitical stability. He argues that the post-World War II international order is being tested as sanctions, military escalation, and infrastructure warfare become more common among major powers. The episode expands into discussions around sulfur shortages, helium markets, aircraft carrier vulnerability, and why modern warfare is changing rapidly through drones and missile technology. Doomberg emphasizes that markets consistently adapt faster than panic headlines suggest, while also cautioning that long term geopolitical risks are increasing.

    Copper Miners Could Outperform S&P 500 By 300% Says Steve Barton ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down why the S&P 500 may be losing momentum despite gaining 0.9% as weakening RSI signals, a near double top, and falling volatility could point to a short-term market pullback. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Free and Premium Newsletter ๐Ÿ“ฉ Substack ๐Ÿ‘‰ Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 5-22-2026. I also explained why the U.S. dollar may continue strengthening while bond yields cooled after recent spikes, easing fears of a runaway move higher in Treasury yields. Across precious metals, I discussed why gold down 0.9% and silver down 1.7% still appear vulnerable to additional downside before reaching stronger long-term buying zones, while platinum and palladium continued showing mixed technical setups. I also highlighted why copper remains one of the strongest long-term opportunities after gaining 1.4%, with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 significantly if the breakout structure continues holding. Uranium, coal, nickel, oil, natural gas, and diversified mining equities were all discussed as major long term hard asset opportunities despite short term volatility and possible washout selloffs creating better entries. I finished the episode by explaining why Bitcoin could still move lower toward 72000 while emphasizing disciplined technical analysis, staggered buying strategies, and focusing on long term commodity and energy trends instead of short-term market noise.   Key Insights in this episode โœ… S&P 500 up 0.9% but weakening RSI signals a likely short-term pullback near major resistance โœ… VIX fell 9.3% while the U.S. dollar pushed toward key breakout levels above 99.5 โœ… Gold dropped 0.9% with Steve Barton targeting a possible move toward 4100 before turning bullish โœ… Silver fell 1.7% as bearish chart patterns point to further downside pressure โœ… Copper gained 1.4% with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 by 300% โœ… Uranium coal energy and mining sectors remain long term bullish while Bitcoin risks falling toward 72000   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 RSI Warning And Dollar Outlook 03:28 Gold Downtrend And 4100 Target 07:57 Silver Bear Flag And Pullback Risks 11:30 Copper Breakout And Mining Stocks 16:58 Uranium Washout Buying Opportunity 19:58 Oil Triangle Pattern And Energy Outlook 24:45 Natural Gas Weakness And Support Levels 25:36 Coal Stocks Long Term Bullish Setup 27:46 Platinum Weakness And Palladium Opportunity 29:07 Nickel Breakout And Mining ETF Strategy 31:24 Bitcoin Pullback Toward 72000 32:00 Final Thoughts And Technical Analysis Strategy   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Why Central Banks Are Buying Gold At Record Levels ~ Axel Merk

    Axel Merk is the founder and chief investment officer of Merk Investments and is widely known for his expertise in currencies, gold, central banks, and global macro investing. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Merk Investments  ๐Ÿ‘‰ X: @AxelMerk  Recording Date 5-20-2026. In this episode, Axel joins Steve Barton to break down the growing risks inside the global financial system, including rising bond yields, inflation pressures, central bank policy mistakes, and geopolitical tensions impacting energy markets and precious metals. Axel explains how tariffs disrupt global capital flows and increase borrowing costs, why he believes incentives ultimately drive economic outcomes, and why long-term investors should focus on preserving purchasing power instead of reacting emotionally to short-term market volatility. He also shares why gold became a core part of his investment philosophy, how central banks continue accumulating gold as a strategic reserve asset, and why pricing homes and college tuition in gold reveals the long-term decline in fiat currency purchasing power. Axel also gives a detailed outlook on the future of the Federal Reserve and explains why he believes Kevin Warsh would bring a far more disciplined and hawkish approach to monetary policy than recent Fed leadership. He argues that the Federal Reserve has become too politically involved through policies like mortgage-backed security purchases and excessive intervention, creating distortions that ultimately increase long-term borrowing costs and financial instability. The conversation also explores gold demand, silver accumulation, oil market volatility, and how geopolitical conflicts could accelerate nearshoring and structural shifts across the global economy. Axel discusses why markets currently expect oil prices to normalize over time despite Middle East tensions, while warning that prolonged government intervention and fiscal stimulus programs could eventually create stronger tailwinds for precious metals. By the end of the interview, Axel emphasizes that successful investing requires discipline, a long-term process, and a deep understanding of how governments and central banks respond during periods of economic stress and market uncertainty.

    Gold Drops 3.6% As Uranium Stocks Crash 7.5% Buy Opportunity Ahead ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down why I believe the S&P 500 is reaching a critical turning point after briefly pushing above the 7,400 Fibonacci extension level before reversing lower into the close. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Free and Premium Newsletter ๐Ÿ“ฉ Substack ๐Ÿ‘‰ Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 5-15-2026. I explain why I expect weakness next week as volatility starts returning to the market with the VIX climbing 7.2%, the U.S. dollar unexpectedly rallying 1.5%, and the 10 year yield surging toward 4.75%, which I believe could put significant pressure on equities and risk assets. I also walk through gold's 3.6% weekly decline and silver's 4.1% drop while outlining the exact support levels, moving averages, and buy zones I'm personally watching for what I believe could become one of the final major buying opportunities before the next bull leg higher in precious metals. Throughout the episode I discuss gold to silver ratios, platinum to silver ratios, physical bullion strategies through PHYS and PSLV, and why moments of panic selling in commodities often create the biggest long term opportunities for disciplined investors. I also spend a large part of the episode focused on uranium, copper, oil, natural gas, coal, platinum, nickel, and Bitcoin as several sectors approach critical technical levels. I explain why I remain extremely bullish long term on uranium despite expecting additional downside in URNM and other uranium equities, and why I would actually welcome a major washout event before what I believe will eventually become a powerful nuclear driven commodity cycle. I discuss why copper remains one of my favorite long-term trades despite short term weakness, why Brent crude appears stronger than WTI, and why natural gas may finally be breaking above key resistance after reclaiming the $3 level. Toward the end of the episode I also explain why I believe the housing market has already crashed when measured against gold, silver, copper, and platinum rather than U.S. dollars, showing how the average U.S. home now costs dramatically fewer ounces of hard assets than it did just a few years ago, which I believe signals a massive long-term shift toward real assets and commodities. Key Insights in this episode โœ… S&P 500 finished flat while the VIX jumped 7.2% signaling rising volatility โœ… U.S. dollar rose 1.5% and bond yields surged as financial conditions tightened โœ… Gold fell 3.6% and silver dropped 4.1% with more downside expected short term โœ… Uranium held steady but URNM sank 7.5% as uranium equities stayed under pressure โœ… Oil climbed 6.8% and natural gas gained 6.6% as energy markets turned bullish โœ… Bitcoin fell 3.7% while housing became dramatically cheaper when priced in gold and silver Affiliates /Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful: Join Our Free Newsletter  Subscribe to my Substack Technical Analysis Series New Orleans Investment Conference Nov 2-5, 2025   Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free)  Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free)  Uranium Newsletter    Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 VIX And Dollar Outlook 02:22 Gold Breakdown And Buy Zones 05:16 Silver Support Levels And Ratios 10:28 Copper Weakness And Long Term Setup 11:40 Uranium Washout And Nuclear Renaissance 14:52 Oil Futures And Energy Market Trends 17:34 Natural Gas And Coal Trade Setup 19:22 Platinum And Palladium Opportunities 20:50 Nickel Weakness And Bitcoin Resistance 22:20 Housing Crash In Gold And Silver Terms 24:38 Final Thoughts And Premium Market Outlook   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

Get 25% off Mining Stock Monkey VIP. Limited to 25 sign-ups or 48 hours, whichever comes first. Recording Date 5-13-2026. In this episode, Jordan and I break down why many major gold producers may now carry poor risk reward despite rising gold prices, what is really happening behind B2Gold's recent earnings surge, and why Royal Gold could be one of the most misunderstood royalty companies in the sector. Jordan also explains why Wheaton Precious Metals remains one of his favorite long term silver investments and discusses the growing importance of diversification, cash flow quality, and operational execution in the mining space. The conversation dives deep into valuation disconnects, market psychology, and how investors should think about downside protection in highly cyclical commodity markets. Jordan explores oil markets, geopolitical risks, and how global supply disruptions could impact commodity prices moving forward. Jordan explains why he remains cautious on oil equities despite bullish macro headlines and discusses how energy markets could reverse sharply once geopolitical tensions ease. The episode also features an extensive discussion on Royal Gold's long term production growth, misunderstood valuation, and why royalty and streaming companies may offer safer exposure to precious metals compared to traditional miners. Jordan closes by sharing his institutional style mining research process, emphasizing the importance of studying quarterly reports, understanding accounting details, and developing an informational edge through relentless repetition and deep analysis.   Key Insights in this episode โœ… Major gold miners may now offer weak risk reward after the massive gold rally โœ… B2Gold delivered strong free cash flow but operational risks still remain โœ… Royal Gold could be undervalued due to misunderstood growth and diversification โœ… Wheaton Precious Metals remains Jordan's top long term silver exposure โœ… Oil stocks may face downside once geopolitical tensions begin to normalize โœ… Jordan's research edge comes from deeply studying mining company filings   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Introduction To Gold Stock Opportunities And Risks 01:49 B2Gold Earnings Surge And Operational Concerns 05:53 Newmont Agnico Eagle And Gold Cost Pressures 08:00 Royal Gold Pueblo Viejo Silver Stream Update 09:58 Great Bear Royalties And Royal Gold Growth Potential 11:42 Core Mining Valuation Risks In Silver Stocks 12:35 Silver Crown Royalties And Honey Badger Silver 13:04 Jordan's Top Long Term Silver Stock Pick 14:12 VSLA Mexico Project Delays And Security Risks 16:03 Oil Market Risks And Energy Stock Outlook 18:28 Devon Energy Merger And Hedging Strategy 21:50 Gold Developers Mergers And Acquisition Trends 23:35 Newmont Versus Agnico Eagle Stock Comparison 24:21 Wheaton Precious Metals Versus Franco Nevada 25:10 Jordan Rusche Mining Research Process Explained 27:57 SSR Mining Turkey Risks And Strategic Review 30:04 Why Royal Gold May Be Deeply Undervalued 37:56 Mining Stock Monkey Research Service Offer 39:45 Premium Discussion Copper Risks Royalties And Commodities   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Silver Explodes 5.8% As Copper Breakout Ignites Commodity Surge ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down the massive 2.3% rally in the S&P 500 and why I believe the market could still push toward the 7,650 level despite extremely overbought conditions. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Free and Premium Newsletter ๐Ÿ“ฉ Substack ๐Ÿ‘‰ Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 5-8-2026. I explained how Fibonacci extensions from the tariff panic selloff accurately projected the recent breakout and why the current bull flag structure still points higher. I also covered the weakening U.S. dollar, critical resistance levels in gold near 4,950, and why silver continues to outperform gold as the gold-to-silver ratio compresses sharply. Copper surprised me with a major breakout above $6.15, and I believe the setup in copper miners could signal another powerful move higher across the commodity complex. I also walked through why uranium equities remain weak short term even though long-term uranium fundamentals continue to improve with term prices holding near $91.50. Oil and energy stocks still appear vulnerable with bearish flag formations developing across crude, Brent, and XLE, although I remain constructive longer term on quality oil producers. Platinum continues to look technically stronger than palladium, while nickel may be resetting after a major breakout. Finally, I explained why Bitcoin remains technically dangerous despite a short-term bounce, including a bearish head and shoulders pattern that could target as low as $25,000 if support fails.   Key Insights in this episode โœ… S&P 500 gained 2.3% and hit the 7,400 target with 7,650 next โœ… Gold rose 1.9% but still faces heavy resistance near 4,950 โœ… Silver surged 5.8% and continued outperforming gold โœ… Copper jumped 5.2% after breaking above the key $6.15 level โœ… Oil and Brent crude remain bearish with downside pressure building โœ… Bitcoin gained 2% but still risks a drop toward $25,000   Affiliates /Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful: Join Our Free Newsletter  Subscribe to my Substack Technical Analysis Series New Orleans Investment Conference Nov 2-5, 2025   Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free)  Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free)  Uranium Newsletter    Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 Breakout And Market Outlook 02:37 U.S. Dollar Double Bottom Analysis 03:24 Gold Resistance And Bull Flag Setup 07:39 Silver Rally And Gold Silver Ratio 11:10 Copper Breakout And Copper Miners 14:34 Uranium Weakness And Term Price Outlook 16:36 Oil Bear Flag And Energy Stocks 19:40 Platinum Strength And Palladium Weakness 21:12 Nickel Breakdown And Future Setup 21:56 Bitcoin Bearish Head And Shoulders 22:54 Final Thoughts And Portfolio Updates   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Banyan Gold Could Deliver One Of The Biggest Gold Stories Of 2026 ~ Tara Christie

    Tara Christie is the President and CEO of Banyan Gold and one of the leading voices in Yukon gold development today.  ๐Ÿ‘‰ Tara Christie: โ€Štchristie@banyangold.com ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://banyangold.com Recording Date 5-7-2026. In this interview, Tara breaks down why the Aurmac Project is approaching a transformational moment as Banyan prepares to release its first Preliminary Economic Assessment in the second half of 2026. She explains how the company has already outlined nearly 8 million ounces of gold while aggressively upgrading higher-grade zones and expanding exploration potential across the district. The conversation also highlights Banyan's strategic infrastructure advantages including road access, power, and a shorter permitting timeline compared to remote projects. Tara also discusses the company's strengthened treasury after closing a major financing that positions Banyan to accelerate drilling and development through 2027. Tara dives deep into what the upcoming PEA could reveal about Aurmac's economics including all-in sustaining costs, capital expenditures, mineable ounces, project valuation, and long-term profitability. Tara outlines why she believes the market still undervalues Banyan Gold and argues that perceptions around grade and scalability could change dramatically once the economics are published. Tara explores the implications of the Franco-Nevada royalty transaction, the evolving situation surrounding Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine, and the possibility of future district consolidation in the Yukon. Tara shares new details on Banyan's emerging high-grade silver discovery, explaining how it could eventually create an early cash flow opportunity alongside the larger gold project. Tara closes with a discussion around strategic optionality, potential acquisition interest from major miners, and why Banyan intends to continue aggressively de-risking and advancing Aurmac toward development.   Key Insights in this episode โœ… Banyan Gold is preparing to release its first PEA in the second half of 2026 โœ… Aurmac currently hosts 2.2 million indicated ounces and 5.4 million inferred ounces of gold โœ… The company raised $46.5 million and now holds roughly $70 million in treasury โœ… Tara Christie believes the market significantly undervalues Banyan relative to peers โœ… High-grade silver discoveries could create future early-stage cash flow opportunities โœ… Yukon consolidation potential remains active as majors search for scalable projects   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Introduction To Banyan Gold And Aurmac 01:41 Aurmac Resource Growth And Yukon Advantages 03:23 How Banyan Will Use Its $70 Million Treasury 05:30 Why The PEA Could Revalue Banyan Gold 08:44 Key Metrics Investors Should Watch In The PEA 10:07 Franco Nevada Royalty Deal Explained 11:28 Eagle Mine Fallout And Yukon Consolidation 17:53 Upcoming Mineral Resource Update Details 19:45 Banyan Gold Silver Discovery Potential 23:36 New VP And Corporate Development Strategy 26:36 Build Mine Or Sell Company Discussion 28:33 2026 Drill Program And Exploration Plans 30:02 What Banyan Gold Must Prove To The Market 30:48 Banyan Gold Market Mispricing And Future Revaluation   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.
