    Sean Brodrick – Macro Movers From Central Banks To The Middle East War Continue Shaping Trends In Gold, Silver, Copper, A.I., Chips, Defense, and Oil

    [Recorded July 28, 2026] Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to discuss his investing outlook across multiple resource and general equity sectors in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. He shares how he is managing his portfolio as it relates to gold, silver, PM stocks, A.I. Stocks, chip stocks, value stocks, and oil stocks. The conversation kicks off around the precious metals sector, getting Sean’s outlook on what fundamentals are driving gold, the gold stocks, and silver. Sean acknowledged the bearish price action in gold and gold stocks since the tops in late January and February to present, and would like to see the PMs just quit going down and stop making lower lows. He points out that the world is sick of the weaponization of the US dollar, and so more central banks have been increasing their exposure to gold on their balance sheets, while diversifying out of the dollar and US treasuries. He is generally constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings which has just gotten underway, where producer margins were still very robust, even despite the higher energy inputs for the quarter. Even if gold and silver continue to channel sideways then he still believes there are opportunities at present to pick up quality PM stocks. Next we dove into the rotation in the general US equities out of some of the mega-cap tech leadership and out into other value sectors of the market. Sectors like financials, healthcare, insurance, and companies generating large amounts of revenues from traditional businesses are providing more “certainty” in very volatile times and headlines. Chinese A.I. platforms and chip companies could be quite disruptive to US tech companies, and this has roiled foreign stock markets like Korea and Taiwan. Defense stocks, both traditional names and the next generation defense names in drones and counter-drones may be waking back up. A recent Trump administration executive order focused on military contractors and the government focused on sourcing parts their supply chains from domestic sources, which may be a benefit to critical minerals stocks operating in the friendly trade partner sphere of influence. Wrapping up we get Sean’s outlook on the wild headline driving oil price movements from the $60s up to the $90s and back down into the $70s, and how that may play into current opportunities in the energy stocks. Sean is hanging on to his energy stocks for now, especially if they have solid fundamentals at these current prices, and pay a good dividend. If the geopolitical tensions do calm down again, then he would be looking at accumulating more oil stocks if the WTI price got back down close to $70 again.
