Good morning.
Wall Street just got clobbered, but the world still needs critical metals... and this miner found a huge supply of the space-age metal.
Yesterday, the Dow dropped over 800 points, the S&P 500 fell 2%, and year-to-date gains got fully wiped out. The culprit was, of course, Greenland tariff threats and negotiations.
Investors are running scared and “selling America.” Gold climbed above $4,880 for the first time ever, and one analyst summed it up: "The debasement trade is on fire."

The Metal China Controls (And the US Desperately Needs)
Fighter jets. Rockets. Nuclear submarines. They all depend on one metal, and the US imports 90% of it.
If lithium is the metal of batteries, this is the metal of everything else. And China just increased its grip from 40% to 75% of global supply in six years.
The metal is titanium, and Project Blue warns that a titanium squeeze is coming. Aerospace and defense will feel it first.
And Saga Metals’ new Radar Project in Canada just revealed a titanium deposit potentially larger than China's Panzhihua mine (the world's biggest).
Magnetic readings were so intense they maxed out survey equipment.
The site sits miles from deepwater shipping, hydropower, and industrial infrastructure. First drill results are in. A major program is underway.
This could be the most strategic titanium discovery in North America.

Gold and silver surged to fresh records as investors fled to safety. Gold futures climbed above $4,800 per ounce while silver hit $95, driven by central bank demand, fiscal concerns, and mounting geopolitical chaos. One analyst called it: "The debasement trade is on fire."
Natural gas jumped 26%, its biggest single-day gain in nearly four years. An arctic blast is descending on the US, with forecasters warning of major cold outbreaks across the eastern two-thirds of the country. Freeze-offs could knock out up to 10 billion cubic feet per day of supply in Appalachia alone. Texas is bracing for below-freezing temps and a potential ice storm by Sunday.
Mortgage rates spiked 14 basis points to 6.21%, erasing last week's three-year low that had triggered a surge in applications. The Greenland drama and a sell-off in Japanese bonds are to blame.
China met its soybean commitment. Treasury Secretary Bessent confirmed Beijing purchased the agreed 12 million metric tons of US soybeans, with another 25 million tons pledged for next year. But economists warn President Trump's shifting tariff policy could blow up the deal at any moment.
