Rock Stock Recap: Tariff Strategy, US Dollar Devaluation, Canada-Chile Political Risk


Listen Later

In this Rock Stock Recap episode, Rodney and I share our latest insights following Trump's Liberation Day and the unfolding impacts of recent U.S. tariff policies, drawing striking parallels to past global shocks such as the onset of COVID-19 and historical events like the Cuban Missile Crisis. We delve deep into Stephen Miran's pivotal analysis on restructuring the global trade system, highlighting crucial policy discussions around phased tariffs, the intentional managed decline of the U.S. dollar, and how these strategies could influence commodity markets, particularly critical minerals.

We also explore the potential "Mar-a-Lago Accords" and speculate on how shifts in U.S. monetary policy might ignite a new natural resource bull market. Additionally, we address strategic U.S.-China relations, specifically the prospects of increased Chinese direct investment into the American EV battery supply chain and its broader economic implications.

Tune in as Rodney and I dissect the broader geopolitical dynamics, key market movements, and emerging investment opportunities in lithium and other critical minerals. Stay informed on the evolving strategies shaping our global economic future. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into critical mineral markets!
