In this episode, we speak with Tavi Costa, partner at Crescat Capital, about global macroeconomic shifts, rising gold prices, and the potential rotation from large-cap tech into commodities. Tavi explains why he sees significant opportunities in gold, silver, and emerging markets amid a weakening dollar and ongoing de-globalization. We dive into how policy decisions, geopolitical trends, and market valuations are shaping investment strategies, including what this means for metals like copper, silver, and lithium.
