Powell Defies Trump, Warns America

Since last week: We got an update from the Fed regarding interest rates and new tensions in the Middle East. Both of these things weighed on the markets. 

1. Fed Rates

Much to Trump’s chagrin, the Fed elected to keep interest rates right where they are. Powell and company are taking a measured, wait-and-see approach when it comes to how the economy is shaping out. The decision seems to have been partially informed by an expectation that inflation will climb over the next few months, something we’re already beginning to see. As investors, there are sectors to play that benefit from what’s unfolding. You can click here to learn more about what those sectors are and what you should be buying in them. 

2. Silver Hits Its Stride

Silver continues to impress, having moved above $37 per ounce at one point last week. Its recent ascent is beginning to gain notice and investors are stocking up alongside gold investments. Silver is quickly becoming a breakout story in investing circles, so the window may be closing on getting the best deals.

3. The G7 and Rare Earths

Leaders in the Group of 7 (G7) came to an agreement at their recent meeting to develop a strategy to protect the supply of critical minerals their countries rely on to keep their economies and societies going. The trade war between Trump and China, who controls much of the rare earth supply, showed just how delicate the balance is. This is a topic that is only going to gain more attention as the need for these minerals becomes more apparent.

4. China Doubles Down on Nuclear 

China is investing in a rapid build-up of nuclear power capacity. The country is set to double its current capacity by 2040 with the building of dozens of new reactors. These reactors will be able to meet the power needs of billions of the country’s citizens and show why demand for uranium is only going to skyrocket over the next few decades. One of the best ways to profit is by buying into uranium companies. You can learn more about what some of the big winners in that sector will be by clicking here. 

What to Look For

The Iran conflict will be a determining factor in how things play out over the coming weeks.
