Greetings, Investors! Around lunch time today, for those who missed it, I posted a new "Markets Minute" segment (actually, about 12 minutes) to my social media accounts.
For those who missed it, you can listen RIGHT HERE (the "X"-posted version) or by clicking on the below graphic.
In short: Come Wednesday afternoon, it will be Jerome "Too Late" Powell who steals a fair bit of President Trump's ire, when the Fed not only doesn't lower interest rates at this week's meeting but--likely-- indicates that any new cuts are even farther away than had been believed until fairly recently.
To be fair, Powell & Co. face one of their more "Damned if we do, damned if we don't"-type meetings in a while.
I suspect that there are days--notwithstanding his and others' new quest to defend the "independence" of the Fed from The Evil Orange Golem--that Powell wishes he were somewhere else.
In the end, neither Trump nor the still-plentiful legions of starry-eyed bulls are going to get what they want.
And the implications for markets will, all else being equal, be more of the same of what we've seen in recent days: weakness among virtually all assets and asset classes, save for the U.S. dollar (and little else).

You know that since the latter weeks of 2025 I've been warning of a "two-way" market to come and a tougher time even for the previously white-hot PM stocks and some others.
Yet--though we took a lot of profits and raised a good bit of cash over a few months' time--I've ALSO suggested this "interlude" (which could still go on for a while) is one in which to buy / add to superior stories that are still CHEAP.
One continues to be Power Metallic Mines (TSXV-PNPN; OTCQB-PNPNF) whose C.E.O. Terry Lynch joined me the end of last week to wrap up some recent news and set the table for BIG events to come in the balance of 2026.
You can watch our discussion RIGHT HERE or by clicking on the below.
In short: Power Metallic's Nisk Project has already shown the potential to turn into one of the richest new polymetallic resources on the planet.
Terry and I ran down some absolutely gaudy new assay results; and more so, he laid out a road map for later this year of an updated resource estimate and initial economic study.
This is an especially compelling exploration story--and a well-funded one, supported by the likes of Rob McEwen, Gina Rinehart and Robert Friedland, among others--that you should be considering as well.
All the best,
