In this episode of the BT Global Perspectives Podcast, David Creighton sits down with Paul Beattie to unpack the rapidly shifting global market landscape. They explore how escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, are influencing commodity markets and driving uncertainty for investors.

The conversation dives into the implications of rising oil prices, the risk of stagflation, and why defensive positioning may be essential in today’s volatile environment. Beattie also shares insights on inflation being higher than official figures suggest and explains why hard assets like gold, silver, energy, and other commodities may offer protection.

The episode also examines the structural dynamics of precious metals markets, including the imbalance between paper and physical gold and silver, and what that could mean for future prices. Finally, Beattie highlights several emerging silver producers that could benefit from tightening supply and growing industrial demand.
