In this conversation with Maggie Lake, they explain how the move signals a deeper shift toward a multipolar world where the U.S. is retreating to their backyard, Latin America, and where geopolitics, commodities, and other global powers, like China, increasingly drive market outcomes. The discussion breaks down the so-called "Chuck Norris" and "Age of Empires" premium, why global inflation narratives are fracturing, and why industrial metals and supply chains matter more than energy headlines. They also explore where investors may find opportunity as the era of passive, “set-it-and-forget-it” investing, is now long gone. 💡 When macro risk rises, real assets matter.
