Mukarram Mawjood is here to share on commodity cycles and investor sentiment secrets. He discusses his focus on alternative assets including precious metals, crypto, and real estate, highlighting silver as his top current pick due to its price lag behind gold and significant upside potential. He explains how gold's recent surge has largely priced in geopolitical risk, while silver remains undervalued despite industrial demand. He also touches on market psychology, gold-to-silver ratios, and how cryptocurrencies are increasingly competing with gold as alternative stores of value. We discuss... Mukarram's firm invests heavily in physical metals, crypto, and real estate—assets with inverse correlation to the U.S. dollar. Silver is seen as significantly undervalued relative to gold, presenting a price arbitrage opportunity. He sees silver's price lag as typical behavior in precious metal bull cycles, with major catch-up potential. Central banks buying gold has driven recent price action, while silver remains overlooked by both institutions and retail investors. Geopolitical tensions have driven gold's rise as a safe haven, but easing global instability could rotate capital into silver. Mukarram emphasizes timing and patience—investors should scale into undervalued assets before the move happens. Crypto has diverted some capital from gold but believes both assets serve different investor needs. During COVID, gold quietly doubled from 1,200 to over 2,000, which many missed due to lack of long-term positioning. Bitcoin and crypto sometimes move like metals, but when metals act as a safe haven, crypto typically does not. Crypto currently offers opportunity not because it's strong, but because it's been beaten down while gold rallied. Bitcoin may still hit 100K–200K, but other assets may outperform it percentage-wise during its rise. Ethereum has mixed sentiment in the crypto community, but Solana is gaining more institutional adoption. Major crypto news events often coincide with local tops, especially in bull markets. Crypto cycles are faster (typically 18 months), while metals like gold and silver move in 3–5 year timelines. Crude oil's recent stagnation shows how macro factors like tariffs and recession fears can override seasonal patterns. Commodities should be chosen based on correlation to the U.S. dollar and liquidity conditions. Successful trading is 75% mindset and only 25% technical skill, especially in volatile markets like crypto.

Financial markets are strangely calm so far this morning, given — among other things — continued hostilities between Israel and Iran. As the trading day gets underway, there's been no sign from the White House about whether the U.S. would take military action against nuclear facilities in Iran. We'll try to get a sense of the market. Plus, sometimes taking a vow of poverty is easier said than done. From Marketplace's "This Is Uncomfortable," we'll learn all about a nun's finances.
What changed, what didn't, and what does it all mean for investors today? Twelve months ago, Paul Fiorilla of Yardi Matrix shared a cautiously optimistic outlook on multifamily real estate despite rising interest rates. Now, in June 2025, he returns to assess how that outlook held up. In this episode, Paul and host Jeannette Friedrich take a data-driven look at the key shifts in market fundamentals, capital flows, rent dynamics, and global headwinds, and what these mean for the road ahead. Key Takeaways: - Multifamily demand remained strong through 2024 but is expected to moderate due to slowing job growth, reduced immigration, and corporate return-to-office mandates - Interest rates have not declined as anticipated, keeping refinancing difficult and limiting transaction volume across the market - Distress exists but remains isolated, with capital still available for loan workouts, preferred equity, and mezzanine solutions - Sunbelt markets continue to experience rent softness due to oversupply, even as new construction slows significantly - Renewal rents are outperforming asking rents, reinforcing the value of tenant retention over new lease growth assumptions - Conservative underwriting is critical, particularly in assuming flat or modest rent growth and avoiding reliance on overly optimistic projections - Investors should prioritize experienced sponsors with strong balance sheets and a track record of navigating challenging environments - Geopolitical shifts, including trade policy and U.S. retrenchment from global leadership, introduce new macroeconomic risks that may influence capital flows and inflation Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and Guest Reintroduction 01:22 Market Overview and Risk Assessment 02:19 Property Fundamentals and Demand Drivers 05:49 Capital Markets and Financing Challenges 15:30 Regional Market Insights and Rent Growth 23:57 Geopolitical Risks and Future Outlook Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

US equity futures slightly higher. European markets opened narrowly mixed, while Asian markets were also mixed. Geopolitical focus dominated as Trump held a National Security Council meeting to discuss potential strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow facility. Reports flagged risks of Iranian retaliation and potential mining of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump reiterated a hard stance, demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trade talks saw little movement. Trump criticized EU and Japan for failing to offer fair deals and reiterated tariff threats, including imminent action on pharmaceuticals.Companies Mentioned: KKR & Co, Orange, Zegona Communications, Hasbro, Plains All American Pipeline, Keyera
The similarities between Ukraine's attack on Russian bombers and the Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites have been noted. But the parallels don't stop there. The U.S. is involved in both conflicts and the script for each is flexible on a daily basis. The influence upon each is Donald J Trump. Geopolitical authority George Friedman opines on both wars, employing the theory of geopolitical cycles as explained in his book “The Storm Before the Calm”.

Kevin Hincks provides the trading day's roadmap with all eyes on the FOMC rate announcement and Jerome Powell's press conference. He dives into the morning's economic data, citing higher jobless claims numbers that are trending upward. Ahead of the FOMC, Kevin believes Powell will not say anything that changes the Fed's outlook but will be closely monitoring the "Dot Plot" for any changes.

Carol Schleif thinks the market rally before the Fed conference today is notable. She lays out what investors should be watching around the world, but says “in general, markets tend to look through geopolitical risk…they don't know how to assess it.” The worst of the tariffs are behind us, she assesses, as trade breakthroughs seem near. She previews the Fed dot plot, expected today after the FOMC meeting, and gauges how many rate cuts we might see this year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

CannCon and Ghost kick off this high-voltage episode with a newly declassified FBI intel suggests China may have manufactured fake U.S. driver's licenses in a scheme to produce fraudulent mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. The hosts unpack the deep implications, connecting it to long-silenced whistleblowers and the broader collapse of trust in American institutions. From there, the show shifts into geopolitical overdrive. Gordon dives into Israel's precision strikes on Iran, Netanyahu's escalating rhetoric, and the high-stakes dynamics at play between Trump, Putin, and the Israeli opposition. They dissect Netanyahu's attempt to drag Trump into war, the unraveling of the Israeli narrative, and the implications of Starlink lighting up over Iran. Also on deck: Mike Lindell's $2.3 million defamation verdict, suspicious contradictions in the Minnesota “hit list” shooting case, CNN's collapse, and a growing MAGA civil war over foreign entanglements. With sharp humor, hard-hitting facts, and unapologetic takes, this episode is a fiery fusion of breaking news and big-picture strategy.

On assets, Joy points to gold's expensive moves but adds there's no other "safe havens" for investors to turn to as Bitcoin's price fluctuates. She notes the rallies in energy and defense stocks as another signal of rampant volatility.

The Money Wise guys kick this week's episode off with another market review. Last week the markets pulled back, with the Dow down 1.3%, the S&P 500 off by 0.4%, and the NASDAQ falling 0.6%. Despite encouraging inflation data, specifically favorable CPI and PPI readings, geopolitical tension in the Middle East quickly overshadowed the good news. Thursday night's developments between Israel and Iran led to Friday's market drop, with investors hesitant to hold positions over the weekend. The guys discuss how these types of events often spark short-term volatility, not long-term shifts, and share insight into recent rebalancing decisions involving oil and gas positions. Later in the show they delve into insurance-based investment products, often favored by legacy firms, but not always in clients' best interest. Insurance-Based Investments Insurance-based investments, like variable annuities and equity-indexed products, are often pitched as safe, reliable options, especially by legacy firms. But behind the promises can lie high fees, long lock-up periods, and limited transparency. As discussed in this week's episode, these products may serve the salesperson more than the investor, offering hefty commissions without always aligning with a client's financial goals. It's essential to look beyond the sales pitch and evaluate whether these tools truly support your long-term strategy. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys explore RIA vs. Broker.

In today's episode of The Daily Voice, Sam reviews the main headlines as we head into the final day of trading this week.
US equity futures were weaker. European equities opened lower and Asian equities were mixed with declines in Hong Kong and Taiwan offset by gains in South Korea. US and China reached a framework to implement last month's Geneva consensus and agreed to dial back select export controls, though the rare earths relief is temporary and skepticism remains about a broader deal ahead of the July tariff deadline. Geopolitical tensions escalated as the US ordered partial embassy evacuations in the Middle East amid reported Iranian threats, contributing to a sharp oil rally Wednesday. Trump reiterated plans to impose unilateral trade deal terms in the next two weeks if no agreements are reached, while hinting at flexibility on the deadline for good-faith negotiators.Companies Mentioned: Dana Inc, Allison Transmission Holdings, Moderna, CoreWeave, OpenAI, Alphabet, Microsoft

This sounds like a niche bureaucratic change—but it's provided a news hook for the Trump Administration and its allies in far-right parties across Europe to allege once again that they are being suppressed by Big Tech, and that this transition portends the end of free speech on the internet.Does it? No. But what do the Code and the DSA actually do? It's worth understanding the nuances of these regulations and how they may impact transparency, accountability, and free expression. The group discusses topics including Senator Marco Rubio's recent visa ban policy aimed at “foreign censors,” Romania's annulled election, and whether European regulation risks overreach or fails to go far enough.For more on this topic:Hate Speech: Comparing the US and EU ApproachesThe European Commission's Approach to DSA Systemic Risk is Concerning for Freedom of ExpressionThe Far Right's War on Content Moderation Comes to Europe Regulation or Repression?

The U.S. just became the world's largest exporter of LNG—but is that a blessing or a burden? In this global-scale episode of *Power Perspectives*, we step away from local grid topics to dive into the international dynamics shaping the global energy markets. To do so, we are joined by Anne-Sophie Corbeau of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. In this conversation, she breaks down how America's LNG surge is reshaping alliances, inflaming tensions, and creating unexpected risks for utilities back home. From backchannel Russian gas flows into Europe to the breakdown of U.S.-China LNG deals, Corbeau offers insight on what's *really* driving the gas market—and what utility executives, regulators, and investors need to be watching closely in the months ahead during the Trump 2.0 Administration. From the status of LNG as a strategic asset and a geopolitical wildcard to the specifics of U.S. interactions with China and Russia, Anne-Sophie highlights the right signals for utility leaders to keep an eye on in these international markets, as well as advice for how to plan around political and policy volatility in Washington. This episode is a must-listen for utility professionals trying to navigate an energy landscape that is increasingly global, volatile, and politically charged.
