Liberty and Finance Sep 27, 2026 32:09
Summary
Grandich argues rising Treasury yields will not stop gold: rates soared alongside gold's best rallies in the 1970s and 1980s.
Mining majors hold record free cash flow this cycle, so Grandich favors miner shares over physical bullion for the second leg.
Canada's new incentive returning roughly 25% of first-year production value could pull major-miner project spending toward Canadian jurisdictions, Grandich says.
China's refining grip on critical minerals, not just mining, leaves Western defense supply chains exposed as nations race to lock up resources.
Grandich urges spending less than you earn and exiting debt, expecting food and energy shortages and a second inflation wave ahead.
