"Micron (MU) is going to have more free cash flow in 2026 than all of its prior years combined," says Zed Francis, pointing to it as a leading example to the fundamentals supporting it and other AI memory chipmakers. He outlines the "decent runway" he sees for these companies. Matt Bryson offers more insight into the volatility and explains that demand destruction can reignite a substantial push to the downside. Don't just look in the U.S., either, as Matt points to international firms like SK Hynix and Samsung as other winners to watch. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Grains again struggle to hold gains; Supply/Demand and export sales today; Brazil updates supply/demand estimates.
Spot rates on Asia-Europe and Transpacific are climbing fast. The easy explanation is Hormuz. The right explanation is supply and demand, and the data Lars Jensen pulled this week makes the case clearly.In this episode, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver cover:NYFI update: Asia-North Europe spot rates have now exceeded the Chinese New Year peak and are closing in on summer 2025 levels, with futures pointing higher. Asia-USWC and USEC continue their sustained upward trendWhy the rate surge is driven by demand outpacing capacity, not fuel surcharges: Asia-Europe demand up 12%, Transpacific up 11% in April, with capacity failing to keep pace on both tradesWhy the 22% capacity injection planned for Asia-Med in July is a Hormuz spillover effect, not a true demand signal, and what it means for peak seasonHormuz update: Iran-Israel escalation, EU sanctions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Houthi re-entry into the conflict, and what closing Bab el-Mandeb would mean for Persian Gulf bypass routesPanama Canal draft restrictions effective July 3rd, what El Niño means for Lake Gatun water levels, and why Lars sees the early action as a positive signWhy Panamanian flag vessel registrations are dropping 1% per month and what the US-China geopolitical battle has to do with itDownload this week's NYFI ReadLog in to NYSHEX PRO and view the data: Asia-North EuropeAsia-USWC/USEC
Recording date: 26th May 2026Olive Resource Capital views the current phase in commodity markets as a healthy, seasonal consolidation following a strong start to the year. While metals and mining equities have largely moved sideways, this reduced volatility is seen as constructive rather than concerning. According to President and CEO Samuel Pelaez and Executive Chair Derek Macpherson, calmer market conditions often create a gradual upward bias, even as broader investor attention shifts toward high-performing sectors like technology.Olive Resource adjusted its portfolio to reflect rising geopolitical risks, particularly those linked to supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, exposure to Australia and Asia-Pacific mining equities has been significantly reduced, with capital redirected toward cash or regions offering stronger supply-chain reliability. This shift reflects a broader conviction that deglobalisation is accelerating, increasing the strategic importance of mining assets located in politically aligned and stable jurisdictions.Deglobalisation trends driven by pandemic-era disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, and export restrictions on critical minerals are reshaping investment priorities. Assets in Western countries, even for commodities once considered uneconomic to produce domestically, are gaining value due to their security of supply.Within this context, Olive Resource Capital is emphasizing company-specific opportunities over macro-driven bets. Recent portfolio additions, including White Gold Corp, Prospector Metals, Goldsky Resources, Valhalla Metals, and ValOre Metals, were selected for strong management teams and near-term catalysts such as drill results, resource estimates, and project advancements.Macpherson and Pelaez also highlighted a consistent seasonal strategy in junior mining equities: accumulating positions in the spring as exploration begins, and trimming exposure in the fall when results are released and financing activity increases. Overall, the firm's approach centers on jurisdictional reliability, operational catalysts, and disciplined timing in a market where broad momentum remains limited.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Is the commodity supercycle the next great investment opportunity, or the biggest threat to the current bull market? Lance Roberts breaks down the growing Wall Street narrative that commodities are entering a multi-year boom driven by deglobalization, underinvestment in energy and metals, AI infrastructure demand, and concerns over long-term dollar dominance. But there's a major problem with the thesis: commodity spikes are inflationary, inflation destroys demand, and higher commodity prices often strengthen the U.S. dollar instead of weakening it.

Tim Quast evaluates the Mag 7 using supply‑and‑demand signals rather than earnings hype ahead of a major big tech week. He sees Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) with the strongest setups, warning that Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN) may be overextended. Quast argues market mechanics and derivatives positioning matter more than narratives this earnings season.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What happens when geopolitical tensions collide with domestic economic pressures? In this episode, Gene Tunny is joined by John Humphreys and Tom Switzer to unpack the economic fallout from escalating tensions with Iran. The conversation then turns to Australia's housing affordability crisis—examining whether government policies, population growth, or supply constraints are to blame. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com. Takeaways Housing affordability remains a major challenge in many advanced economies, with strong demand outpacing limited supply. Policies like Australia's 5% deposit scheme can boost prices by increasing demand in an already constrained market. Both supply and demand matter—increasing construction and managing population growth are key levers. International examples (such as Canada) suggest that policy changes can influence housing outcomes.

As the industry shifts toward decarbonization, the challenge isn't just "wanting" to go green—it's about the data required to get low-carbon materials procured. Jack explores how C.Scale is bridging the gap between supply and demand, providing the transparency needed to turn sustainable building products into a massive competitive advantage.
Ohio has long been at the forefront of the school choice movement—and today tens of thousands of students participate in one of the state's five scholarship programs. In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald talks with Rabbi Eric "Yitz" Frank, President of School Choice Ohio, and Ann Riddle, Director of Provider School Outreach at School Choice Ohio, to explore how Ohio became a national leader in education freedom. They trace the evolution of the state's first Cleveland Scholarship Program in 1995 to today's increasingly robust voucher programs. But as demand for choice continues to grow, a new challenge has emerged: supply. From facilities constraints to regulatory considerations, what does it take to expand schooling options at scale? The conversation also turns to the new federal education freedom tax credit program and how Ohio is uniquely positioned to benefit—potentially expanding choice to even more families. If you're interested in the intersection of policy, advocacy, and education entrepreneurship, this episode offers a compelling look at how one state is leading the school choice movement. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

Interview with Philip Williams, Director & CEO of IsoEnergy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/the-next-uranium-supercycle-energy-fuels-isoenergy-on-geopolitics-mills-and-market-gaps-7209Recording date: 4th September 2025IsoEnergy presents a compelling investment opportunity in the uranium sector through its strategically diversified portfolio approach at a time when supply-demand fundamentals are increasingly favorable. The company operates across three premier uranium jurisdictions—Canada, the United States, and Australia—with assets spanning the development spectrum from early-stage exploration to near-term production capability.The Hurricane deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin represents IsoEnergy's crown jewel asset, featuring some of the highest uranium grades globally in the world's premier uranium jurisdiction. CEO Philip Williams characterizes Hurricane as a generational asset that will become increasingly valuable as existing mines approach depletion. Cigar Lake, a major producing mine, faces ore exhaustion by 2035, creating what Williams describes as an appreciating asset scenario where every day that goes by, it increases in value.The company's financial strength distinguishes it from capital-constrained competitors. With $85 million in cash and strategic backing from NextGen Energy, which owns 31% of IsoEnergy and contributed $12 million to a recent $50 million financing, the company can optimize development timing rather than rushing to production. This financial flexibility has become increasingly important as the industry faces execution challenges, with multiple uranium companies issuing negative production guidance throughout 2025.Williams observes a fundamental shift in uranium demand dynamics, noting the presence of technology companies like Microsoft at the 2025 World Nuclear Association Symposium actively seeking nuclear power for data centers. This demand evolution coincides with artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure expansion requiring reliable baseload power generation, representing a paradigm shift beyond traditional utility demand.The supply side presents compelling fundamentals despite execution challenges across the industry. Williams argues that the actual real price of getting that marginal pound of production out of the ground is much higher than anyone thinks, suggesting current uranium prices fail to reflect true production economics. Cameco's recent guidance reduction for its McArthur asset exemplifies broader industry production disappointments that have yet to drive appropriate price discovery.IsoEnergy's near-term production optionality comes through the Tony M project in Utah, where the company plans bulk sampling to extract 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of uranium—the first mining activity in nearly 15 years.The company's strategic partnership model multiplies uranium exposure beyond direct asset ownership. IsoEnergy maintains equity positions worth approximately $40 million across six to seven uranium juniors, creating what Williams describes as "lots of shots on goal." The Pure Point joint venture exemplifies this strategy, with the partnership's summer discovery of over 5% uranium grades validating the approach.IsoEnergy's portfolio construction addresses multiple investor preferences across the uranium value chain. Williams notes the company can offer near-term cash flow, high value exploration in the best place in the world, and call optionality with large or high-grade projects. This diversification provides multiple pathways to value creation while mitigating the single-asset risks that have challenged other uranium developers.The combination of world-class assets, strong financial positioning, strategic partnerships, and experienced management positions IsoEnergy to capitalize on the emerging uranium supply-demand imbalance while avoiding the execution risks that have affected competitors.View IsoEnergy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/isoenergySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
There is no housing market; there are housing markets. We all know that, but all too often forget. Now, as mortgage rates and increasing supply challenge the for-sale sector, rental supply has tapered from its peak, and that sector is firming. Moreover, dynamics vary, often markedly, depending on geography. The nation is dotted with dozens of rental markets that sum to a whole, but each has a different story. On this podcast, Chris Nebenzahl and Zak Nyberg join Dean Wehrli to weave us through the rental market maze. Chris is JBREC's Vice President of Rental Research, who keeps an eye on national trends. Zak is a Vice President of our consulting practice who has conducted rental feasibility work throughout the Sun Belt markets and up the Atlantic Seaboard. We cover supply and demand, rental trends, regional variations, amenities, the capital markets, and more in this episode.

On this episode of The Horizon, host John Chang shares key insights from his recent workshop at the Best Ever Conference about critical market trends impacting real estate investment in 2025. Chang analyzes how the new Trump administration's potential policies on tariffs and immigration could impact economic growth, construction costs, and labor markets. He explains why multifamily fundamentals are strengthening as construction pipelines drop dramatically (with starts down 75% from peak) while demographic demand drivers remain strong. Drawing parallels to previous market cycles, Chang notes that the current cap rate expansion represents only the fourth significant instance since 1992, and historically, investments made during these periods have delivered superior returns. The episode provides a comprehensive outlook for commercial real estate investors navigating political uncertainty while positioning for long-term growth.
