Deep dives
Commodity markets and the split between gold and oil
The podcast discusses the interesting situation in commodity markets, where money is flowing back into the market due to reduced recession concerns and anticipation of an election and a more dovish Fed. Depending on the generation, there is a split between buying Bitcoin (for the younger generation) and buying gold (for those over 50). Oil, on the other hand, remains in a slump due to a history of failed catalysts and a Pavlovian hesitation to invest in it.
