In this Star Wars Day edition of The Sunday Roast, The lads return with a scorching hot rundown of the week’s biggest stories, from geopolitical tremors to major market moves. We unpack the landmark U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund agreement giving the U.S. preferential access to Ukraine’s critical minerals—titanium, lithium, and rare earths—and explore the ripple effects across Europe, the West, and a sidelined Russia. We also dive into the dramatic ousting of U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz following the jaw-dropping “Signalgate” scandal.
This week’s guest is Charles Bray, Executive Chairman of Aterian Plc, who joins us to discuss how geopolitical tensions and resource nationalism are reshaping the critical minerals landscape. We get the lowdown on Aterian’s game-changing $4.5 million trade finance deal in Rwanda and their recent £468,000 convertible bond raise aimed at boosting exploration in Morocco, Botswana, and beyond.
Plus, we revisit our “12 for 2025” watchlist with a progress check and updated outlook, and wrap up with all the movers and shakers making waves in the markets this week.
May the 4th be with you!
