Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline why he is not convinced in the Wall Street narrative that the worst parts of the tariff implications are behind us, based on macroeconomic data he is following including the weakness in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end. He is only holding the highest conviction sectors like gold, precious metals stocks, dividend paying mid-tier oil and gas stocks, and utility stocks, in this continued environment of uncertainty.
We start off discuss the continued challenges to trade barriers, issues with the US deficit and increased debt loads, and international buyers still scaling out of US markets to repatriate funds into their own domestic stock markets. Sean has been bullish European defense stocks, South American fintech and water stocks, and even Canadian stocks, although he’s not yet transitioned to buying Japanese stocks at this point. He is not convinced that large US tech stocks are in the same kind of safe upward trajectory that they have been for years and believe AI and other foreign platforms may be a threat to some domestic large-cap tech stocks.
With regards to the commodities sector, Sean is constructive that this recent pullback in gold has been a buying opportunity and is still bullish both gold and silver stocks in the medium-term. He is also is getting interested in accumulating the better run intermediated oil and natural gas stocks that pay good dividends and may be the acquisition targets of the larger energy companies. He likes nat gas power as a bridge energy for big data companies and AI, and still sees value in the utility stocks. This leads into a discussion on why he’s still bullish in the longer-term for copper and copper equities, but doesn’t feel it is as imminent or urgent to get positioned.
