It was another whirlwind week of financial news. Its very difficult to pinpoint a single event from the past few days, but we attempt first with Tony Greer of the Navigator. TG and Trevor try to make sense of all the market action, but spend a majority of the time talking about the wrecking ball which is the global bond market and how the Bank of English stepped in to protect pensions. Was this the first big catalyst towards a central bank reversal? Gold certainly thinks so.

In the second segment, David Finch talks about the lithium equity market and how it is a pure battery play, unlike the rest of the base metal complex. He also talks about gold and gold miners. Are the big producers making strategic moves in this volatile market to protect shareholders?
