Natural Resource Stocks, Released on 5/20/26
Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold joins Andy Millette on Natural Resource Stocks for a wide ranging conversation on the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, oil disruption, global markets, gold, silver, and resource stocks. Bob argues that the world is facing a serious energy and geopolitical shock, with pressure building across the Middle East, the United States, Europe, and Asia. He discusses Iran, Israel, China, Russia, the GCC countries, oil supply, commodity inflation, and the possibility of major political fallout if fuel and food availability become the central problem. Andy also presses Bob on precious metals, mining shares, sentiment, and why gold and silver may act as insurance during financial chaos. The discussion closes with Bob’s view that resource stocks may become one of the biggest opportunities if capital rotates into hard assets and producers.

Yes, Trump’s entourage did throw Chinese-issued gifts and items into a dumpster before leaving China, but the action was part of strict cybersecurity and counter‑intelligence protocols, not a political stunt.
Definitely not FU.
