✌️ Opening Riffs

Welcome to this week's Heavy Metal Investing.

Like a perfectly-timed power chord, precious metals are hitting all the right notes this week. Gold has smashed through to new all-time highs, silver is surging past $32, and President Trump's latest strategic moves are orchestrating what could be the greatest reshaping of global metals markets we've seen in decades.

😎 Metal Markets at a Glance

Welcome to this week's Metal Markets at a Glance, where we're seeing some serious momentum in precious metals as President Trump's America First policies continue reshaping global markets. Let's break down the major moves:

📈 Gold & Silver Surge

The precious metals market is absolutely crushing it, patriots. Gold has hit another all-time high, while silver has powered up to $32.30. This rally isn't just noise – it's a direct response to President Trump's strong stance on trade policy, particularly his latest moves on steel and aluminum tariffs. Since returning to office, these America First policies are already showing results in strengthening our strategic position.

♟️ Global Economic Chess Moves

The Biden-era damage to our economic sovereignty is being systematically reversed. We're seeing this play out in two major developments:

• China's attempting to prop up their markets with stimulus measures (showing their weakness)

• The historic shift of gold stockpiles from London to U.S. vaults (America's financial strength growing)

🛡️ Strategic Metals & National Security

A game-changing development is brewing with Ukraine's offer to President Trump for a rare earths partnership. This potential deal could be huge for breaking China's chokehold on critical minerals while strengthening our allies. Smart negotiating – exactly what we'd expect from a businessman president.

⚒️ Mining Sector Developments

The mining ETF performance in January confirms what we've been telling you – physical metal and mining shares are where smart money is moving. The establishment media won't tell you this, but the gold mining ETFs' outperformance is a clear signal of what's ahead.

📝 Key Takeaway

The pieces are falling into place for a major precious metals bull run. Between Trump's strategic trade moves, global uncertainty, and the continuing cleanup of the Biden-era economic mess, the case for precious metals has rarely been stronger. The smart money is already positioning – are you?

Remember, while we're seeing positive momentum, always conduct your own due diligence and consider consulting with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's Rare Earth Opportunity

Since returning to office, President Trump has been masterfully positioning America for strategic resource independence. The recent proposal from Ukraine's President Zelenskiy offering access to their rare earth deposits could be a game-changing opportunity for patriot investors. Let's break it down:

Pros

• Strategic diversification away from China's monopoly on rare earths

• Potential early-mover advantage for American investors

• Rich deposits of critical elements needed for technology and defense

• Trump's negotiating expertise could secure favorable terms

• Partnership could strengthen both nations' positions against adversaries

• Could lead to significant price stabilization in rare earth markets

Cons

• Geopolitical risks due to ongoing regional tensions

• Infrastructure development needs substantial investment

• Mining and processing capabilities need to be built from ground up

• Potential opposition from globalist interests

• Market uncertainty during development phase

• Timeline to production could be extended

How to Invest

Direct Mining Plays:

• Watch for American companies that secure Ukrainian mining rights

• Consider established rare earth miners expanding into Ukraine

• Monitor for new joint ventures or partnerships announcements

ETF Exposure:

• Rare earth and strategic metals ETFs

• Defense industry ETFs (as major rare earth consumers)

• Keep cash ready for new Ukraine-focused investment vehicles

Supporting Industries:

• Mining equipment manufacturers

• Processing technology companies

• Transportation and logistics firms

Trump's involvement significantly increases the likelihood of success here. His America First policies have consistently delivered results, and this partnership could be another win for U.S. investors. The Biden era left us dangerously dependent on China for these critical materials – this deal could help reverse that damage.

Next Steps

1. Start building a watch list of potential players

2. Consider allocating 5-10% of your metals portfolio to rare earth exposure

3. Stay informed about developments in U.S.-Ukraine mineral agreements

4. Watch for specific company announcements related to Ukrainian operations

Remember: While this opportunity looks promising, always conduct thorough due diligence and consider consulting with a financial advisor before making investment decisions. The rare earths sector can be volatile, so position sizing and timing are crucial.

🎸 What We’re Listening to Today

This week’s song has to be "Gold" by Prince. Not just because of the obvious title, but because of the prescient lyrics that fit perfectly with today's record-breaking gold prices and the massive movement of gold from London to U.S. vaults:

🎸 "Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants to tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?"

Released in 1995, these lyrics seem eerily prophetic as we watch President Trump breaking the old global financial mold, with America's gold stockpiles now reaching levels equivalent to over 4 years of demand. The song's driving rhythm and confident delivery mirror the strong momentum we're seeing in precious metals markets.

That’s all for this week.

Stay frosty,

Carter
