Episode notes
Copper's Record Rally and Tariffs
- Copper's price surged 40% in 2025, driven partially by Trump's 50% tariffs announcement.
- Despite tariffs' inflationary costs, copper's long-term scarcity supports a bullish outlook.
Commodity Supercycle Ignored by Markets
- The ongoing commodity supercycle is supported by rising metals and a weakening U.S. dollar.
- Investors mostly ignore this, focusing on stocks, indicating the commodity rally can continue.
Stock Market Has Fundamentally Changed
- Today's stock market is dominated by passive and algorithmic trading, not individual investors.
- This shift means old investment rules are obsolete, and current enthusiasm may indicate a late market cycle.
