Hedging, Monetary Policy, and Oil Swings: Insights from FIS's Latest PodcastThis week on Freight Up, we set out to give listeners practical insights into the world of risk management across the commodity spectrum, from freight to metals to crude oil. If you're looking to understand what's really happening under the surface of today's volatile markets, this episode features perspectives from professionals who operate right at that interface between price risk and real-world trade. We started with Samuel Basi, founder of Perfectly Hedged Consultancy and a former Trafigura metals trader, for a deep dive into the realities of commodity hedging in liquid and illiquid markets. From there, we heard from Carlo Boffa, a central bank watcher at Politico, on central bank decisions and how the evolving landscape of monetary policy is shaping the US dollar and, by extension, commodity prices. We wrap up with Archie Smith, oil broker, who broke down the extreme pricing swings in the oil market driven by macro shocks and geopolitical headlines, highlighting what's front of mind for market participants right now.Some of the headline talking points this week include: the merits and pitfalls of one-to-one hedging in today's market, with Sam exploring where hedging can reduce risk and where it might inadvertently add more. We tackled the specific challenges faced by traders and companies in less liquid markets, including practical ways to quantify risk and work with imperfect hedges—or get creative in the over-the-counter space to find coverage. Options came under the spotlight, especially with clients' hesitancy to use them, and Sam gave practical context about why options sometimes get overlooked and when they can be a valuable part of a strategy.

Mood swings, brain fog, and burnout? It might not just be stress—it could be perimenopause. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Hack, MD, MPH explores the connection between hormonal changes and depression during the menopausal transition. Backed by clinical evidence and national research studies, she breaks down why this critical phase is so often misunderstood, how to recognize real warning signs, and what steps you can take to protect your mental health. Because yes—healthcare is self-care, and knowledge is power.References:1.       Kessler RC, McGonagle KA, Zhao S et al.

In this episode, we chat with Richard Carleton, CEO of the Canadian Securities Exchange, who provides a modern and efficient alternative for companies looking to access the Canadian public capital markets With qualifications in law and history, Richard and the CSE team have positioned the exchange to take a leading role in the provision of public capital to entrepreneurial companies; since 2014, the CSE has set a series of records for new listings, capital raised by issuers, and trading turnover. Richard shares his thoughts on the fluctuations in commodity prices and why it's affecting our industry, speaks about the geopolitical tensions that we are experiencing today, the progress being made toward addressing abusive short selling, carbon and DEI reporting requirements, and encouraging public pension plans to allocate capital to Canadian small caps and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The CSE serves as a modern and efficient alternative for companies seeking access to Canadian public capital markets, particularly for early-stage companies in sectors like mining, technology, and life sciences. Fluctuations in commodity prices significantly affect funding for exploration and development companies. The ability to secure investment is closely tied to the perceived value of the underlying minerals, and there are concerns about potential manipulation of prices that could hinder investment in Canadian resources. There is a growing recognition among Canadian provincial and federal governments of the need to support mining infrastructure, including roads, rail, and refining capabilities, to enhance the country's position as a reliable supplier of critical minerals. The CSE is working with regulators to address abusive short selling practices in the junior mining sector. Changes to rules and the clearing and settlement system are expected to reduce the prevalence of short selling, improving the market experience for junior companies. There is momentum behind encouraging Canadian public pension plans to allocate capital to small-cap companies, particularly in the mining sector. This shift is seen as crucial for providing the necessary funding for exploration and development, which has historically relied on retail investors. BEST MOMENTS "What we don't have... is in the infrastructure required to move the ores to refining and smelting capability." "I think it's fair to say we've seen that impact across the board. It's my sense... that the world price is being manipulated." "Mining is a provincial responsibility... it's really up to the provinces to provide the permitting, the rules, the regulations around exploration and mining development." "There are still a significant number of brokers that do provide advisory services to the mining industry specifically."

The primary focus of today's discourse centers on the intricate dynamics of the housing market and its consequential impact on the furniture industry. A notable decline of 2.9% in home construction activity for February, coupled with a staggering 6.8% drop in building permits, signifies a troubling trend for sectors reliant on housing growth, particularly furniture sales. Nevertheless, an encouraging uptick in housing starts by 11.2% from January to February suggests a potential resurgence in construction activities, which may subsequently bolster demand for home furnishings. Furthermore, the imposition of increased tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber, nearing a cumulative rate of 40%, presents both challenges and opportunities; while elevated material costs could hinder construction and, by extension, furniture sales, they may also incentivize a shift toward more budget-friendly options as consumers adapt to rising home prices. As we delve deeper into these developments, we shall explore the broader implications of these trends on domestic manufacturing and consumer behavior within the furniture sector.Takeaways: The recent decline in home construction activity underscores the precarious relationship between housing trends and furniture sales. Despite challenges, an 11.2% increase in housing starts from January to February suggests potential recovery in construction activity. Rising tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber may significantly influence home building costs and consequently affect furniture demand. As companies reconsider manufacturing locations due to tariffs, a shift towards increased domestic production in the furniture industry appears plausible. Klausner's investment in a new factory in North Carolina signifies a potential trend towards reshoring production in the furniture sector.

They say you shouldn't sweat the small stuff, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the big stuff, either. When it comes to finances, and especially investing, it's important to get the big moves right. Mark Biller joins us today to go over the things that need special attention.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Today, we'll cover some key takeaways from Sound Mind Investing's recent article, Getting the Big Moves Right, which explores seven critical investment decisions that can make or break your financial future.1. Have a Clear Investing PlanAs the old saying goes from the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, "If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which way you go." A successful investment strategy starts with a plan—one that outlines:Your target retirement dateThe amount you hope to have saved by that dateThe steps needed to achieve that goalWithout an investment plan, it's easy to drift or make hasty decisions based on emotions or short-term market fluctuations.2. Commit to Investing ConsistentlyOne of the most significant factors in successful investing is how much you invest each month. While everyone's situation differs, investing 10–15% of your monthly income during your working years is a general rule of thumb.Your age, retirement timeline, and savings goals will influence this percentage, but the key is to make investing a consistent habit—not something you do only when you have extra cash.3. Get Your Asset Allocation RightThere's no such thing as a “perfect portfolio” that always wins in the market. Instead of chasing returns, focus on the right mix of investments for your:Time horizon (how long you have until retirement)Risk tolerance (your ability to withstand market fluctuations)At SMI (Sound Mind Investing), their members start with a risk tolerance quiz to determine the best balance between stocks and bonds. A well-diversified portfolio ensures that when one part of the market struggles, another part can provide stability.4. Choose Investments WiselyMany investors fall into the trap of buying stocks or funds based on hype or following the latest market trend. Instead, focus on:Process-driven investment strategies that guide decisions based on long-term goalsDiversification across asset classes to minimize riskAvoiding emotional investing based on fear or excitementRather than constantly adjusting your portfolio based on short-term news, stick to a disciplined investment approach that aligns with your financial plan.5. Measure Success with the Right BenchmarkToo many investors compare their portfolios to popular stock indexes like the S&P 500, but this can be misleading.If your portfolio contains more than just large U.S. stocks, using the S&P 500 as your benchmark may lead to unrealistic expectations. Instead, measure success based on:Your personal financial goalsThe average return needed to achieve those goalsIn other words, success isn't about “beating the market”—it's about making steady progress toward your investment objectives.6. Limit How Often You Check Your InvestmentsOne of the biggest emotional traps investors fall into is checking their portfolios too frequently.Daily monitoring can lead to panic-driven decisionsOvertrading increases costs and reduces long-term gainsMarket fluctuations are expected, and checking too often can create unnecessary stressAt SMI (Sound Mind Investing), they recommend checking investments monthly—or even quarterly—to maintain a long-term perspective.7. Stay Committed for the Long HaulMany investors struggle with "grass-is-greener" syndrome, constantly switching:Investment strategiesFinancial advisorsIndividual stocks and fundsWhile there are appropriate times to make changes, they happen far less frequently than most investors think. Choose your investment strategy carefully, then stick with it—even when market conditions fluctuate.What to Let Go of for Investment SuccessOnce you've nailed the big investment moves, free yourself from these distractions:Daily Market News—Most headlines are designed to create fear or hype, not provide useful long-term advice. The “What-If” Game—Don't waste time thinking about missed opportunities—focus on future decisions. Portfolio Micro-Management—Diversification means some investments will perform better than others at different times. Stay patient and trust your strategy.Investing isn't about perfection—it's about faithfulness and consistency. Here's how to ensure long-term success:Create an investment planStick to your strategyCommit to steady investingMonitor progress with the right benchmarksLimit emotional reactions to market noiseThe key to financial freedom isn't found in chasing quick gains—it's in making faithful, long-term decisions that align with wise stewardship principles. Above all, trust God as your ultimate provider. Investing is a tool for wise financial stewardship, but our true security is in Him—not in our portfolio's performance.To dive deeper into today's discussion, check out the full article Getting the Big Moves Right at SoundMindInvesting.org.

An urge for Kiwis to not worry about market impacts from Donald Trump's tariffs on their KiwiSaver. The US President's slapped import levies on Canada, China, and Mexico, and has signalled more for other countries. Trump says he's spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over easing tariffs on the auto sector. But Milford Asset Management head of KiwiSaver Murray Harris told Mike Hosking it's a long term investment, and markets always go up and down. He says their advice is to ignore the market fluctuations, stay the course, and not panic. Harris says when markets go down, contributions are buying more value, and when markets recover, KiwiSaver users will benefit from those extra units, bought more cheaply.

"Do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words." – Matthew 6:7In Matthew 6, Jesus warns against meaningless repetition in prayer. Thankfully, He doesn't leave us wondering how to pray. Instead, He gives us the Lord's Prayer—an example of how we should approach God with our needs.But have you ever noticed how often we overlook a key part of this prayer? The request for provision:"Give us this day our daily bread." – Matthew 6:11This simple yet profound verse reminds us that God is our provider. He wants us to come before Him humbly, asking for what we need. And in a world where self-sufficiency is often celebrated, this truth is more important than ever.God Is Our ProviderJesus' words in Matthew 6:11 serve as a powerful reminder that we depend on God for our most basic needs—starting with food. It's easy to take this for granted, especially in a time and place where food shortages are rarely a daily concern.But do we truly recognize that all provision comes from God? Do we regularly thank Him for our meals and daily necessities? Or do we fall into the trap of thinking that our own efforts—our jobs, savings, and financial planning—are what sustain us?It's only when we face scarcity—when food, money, or security seem uncertain—that we remember our true dependence on God. But Jesus calls us to recognize this truth every day, not just in times of crisis.The phrase “Give us this day our daily bread” has a deeper meaning than just food. It speaks to all our needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual. We hunger for more than just nourishment. We long for peace, love, purpose, and meaningful relationships.Jesus teaches us to bring these needs to God in prayer, acknowledging that only He can truly satisfy us. The Lord's Prayer is not just about survival—it's about trusting that God will provide everything we need, both physically and spiritually.The Danger of Self-SufficiencyFor those of us living in relative abundance, the idea of asking for daily bread might feel distant. Unlike Jesus' original audience, who often faced food insecurity, we may not think about whether we'll eat tomorrow. In fact, for many, the challenge is having too much rather than too little.Yet, even in prosperity, Jesus' words remain critical. This prayer reminds us that we are not self-sufficient. It helps guard against the illusion that we control our own destiny.The danger of materialism is subtle. We may not consciously reject God's provision, but when we place our trust in our bank accounts, investments, or careers, we begin to believe that we sustain ourselves. That mindset leads to pride—and ultimately distances us from God.Jesus knew our hearts would struggle with this. That's why He later says:"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." – Matthew 6:33We don't need to worry about our next meal, our financial security, or our future. What we truly need is God Himself. And prayer reminds us of that.Breaking the Grip of MaterialismOne way to keep our hearts aligned with this truth is through generosity. Giving is a tangible way to acknowledge that God—not our wealth—is our provider. When we give, we loosen the grip that money has on us and demonstrate our faith that God will continue to meet our needs.There will always be reasons to worry—economic downturns, market fluctuations, unexpected expenses. But these uncertainties should drive us to prayer, not fear.So, the next time you pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” say it with sincerity. Recognize your dependence on God. Thank Him for His provision. And let that gratitude lead you to trust—and give—more freely.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 68 and plan to retire at 72.

Come along for part two of the Silver Conspiracy! You can find all of our wonderful links on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts The Silver Market The silver market involves the buying, selling, and trading of silver, a precious metal with industrial, monetary, and investment value. It operates globally, with major trading hubs in London, New York, and Shanghai. Silver is traded in various forms, including physical bullion (bars and coins), exchange-traded products (ETPs), futures contracts, and as part of industrial goods. Spot Price Determination The spot price of silver is the current market price at which silver can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It is determined by: Global Supply and Demand: Supply comes from mining, recycling, and above-ground stockpiles. Demand spans industrial uses (solar panels, electronics), jewelry, investment, and medical applications. Futures Markets: Trading on commodity exchanges, such as COMEX (New York) and LBMA (London), heavily influences the spot price. Futures prices reflect traders' expectations about the future price of silver, which impacts the spot price. Currency Strength: Silver is typically priced in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the dollar's value can affect the silver price. Economic Conditions: Inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events can increase or decrease silver demand as a safe-haven asset, influencing prices. Market Liquidity: Larger buy or sell orders can move the price, particularly during periods of lower trading volume. Benchmark Pricing: The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) sets the "LBMA Silver Price," a benchmark used for trading contracts. Is the Price of Silver Manipulated? Claims of silver price manipulation have been a topic of debate for years. Key points include: Historical Incidents: Hunt Brothers (1980): The Hunt brothers famously tried to corner the silver market, driving prices to unprecedented levels before a market crash. Regulatory Fines: Major financial institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase, have been fined for manipulating precious metals markets, including spoofing (placing and canceling large orders to mislead other traders). Market Characteristics: Silver's relatively smaller market size compared to gold makes it more susceptible to price swings and potential manipulation. Structural Factors: The heavy reliance on derivatives (futures contracts) can allow large players to influence prices disproportionally compared to the physical market. Critics' View: Some argue that large institutions intentionally suppress silver prices to protect fiat currencies or maintain stability in broader financial markets. Regulatory Oversight: Agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) monitor trading to reduce manipulation risks. However, enforcement remains a challenge.

Come along as we discuss possible manipulation of the silver markets! You can find all of our wonderful links on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   The Silver Market The silver market involves the buying, selling, and trading of silver, a precious metal with industrial, monetary, and investment value. It operates globally, with major trading hubs in London, New York, and Shanghai. Silver is traded in various forms, including physical bullion (bars and coins), exchange-traded products (ETPs), futures contracts, and as part of industrial goods. Spot Price Determination The spot price of silver is the current market price at which silver can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It is determined by: Global Supply and Demand: Supply comes from mining, recycling, and above-ground stockpiles. Demand spans industrial uses (solar panels, electronics), jewelry, investment, and medical applications. Futures Markets: Trading on commodity exchanges, such as COMEX (New York) and LBMA (London), heavily influences the spot price. Futures prices reflect traders' expectations about the future price of silver, which impacts the spot price. Currency Strength: Silver is typically priced in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the dollar's value can affect the silver price. Economic Conditions: Inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events can increase or decrease silver demand as a safe-haven asset, influencing prices. Market Liquidity: Larger buy or sell orders can move the price, particularly during periods of lower trading volume. Benchmark Pricing: The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) sets the "LBMA Silver Price," a benchmark used for trading contracts. Is the Price of Silver Manipulated?

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Do dogs really test us? It can sure seem that way when a dog's behavior is not what we expect and they show inconsistency and fluctuations in what they do. My stance on this topic has changed over the years, and I'm sharing why, along with perspectives on why dogs might seem to be testing us, and the first thing I usually do if my dog surprises me with an unexpected response.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • My answer to the question: “Do our dogs test us?”  • About my journey in dog training, including my experiences with different breeds and dog sports. • Why I believe dogs are not intentionally testing us, but rather responding to incomplete education or changing environments. • The importance of understanding the ABCs of dog training - antecedents, behavior, consequences - and how they influence dog behavior. • How to approach behavior when it's in flux vs. when it's fluent. • The role of curiosity in dog training and why I always strive to be a lifelong learner. • What I do when a trained behavior surprises me and goes back into flux. • Why reacting with correction may not be the fastest solution. • How adopting a mindset of compassion and curiosity can transform your relationship with your dog.   Resources:   1.
