In our first segment of this week's long-form episode, we welcome back Jesse Felder of The Felder Report. We try to make sense of these moves in the major US markets as the S&P pushes towards that alluvial $5000 mark. But is it a strong enough move based on only a few equities? The economy continues to show more slowing, with auto loan and credit card delinquencies on the rise and, of course, corporate real estate show more volatility. We then turn to JT Clark, CEO of Veracio, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boart Longyear. Clarke is leading Veracio to employ AI-driven drilling technology, state-of-the-art scanning and cutting-edge digital sensing technologies within a single integrated platform to extract in-depth, accurate orebody knowledge, foster real-time, informed decision-making, unparalleled efficiency and profitability in the mineral industry.

The National Investor's Chris Temple joins the podcast for our first long-form episode of the year. We talk about the setup 2023 provided for the new year and why Chris is expecting a broadening of economic slowdowns to hit throughout. The answer to the slowdowns will be more liquidity in the form of debt supply from the Treasury Department and the ability for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. Those cuts, however, may not happen as quickly as many investors are expecting, according to Chris. It will, however, be more fuel for precious metals while accumulation of junior metal equities may turn out to be a generational trade for speculators.

In our final installment of MSD for 2023, we air a long-form conversation with our friend, Tony Greer of TG Macro. Tony has been calling for a bull rally long before this week's pivot by the Federal Reserve. After the FOMC announced the conclusion of its hiking cycle and event going as far as assuming rate cuts in the new year, asset markets flew off the shelves like the hottest toy in America during the Christmas shopping season. Everything, from tech to precious metals, rallied on the news. We talk to Tony about this decision, his thoughts on equities moving forward, and why 2024 is setting up to be a stellar year for previous metals and miners. To wrap up the year, we also have a special reading dedicated to the geologists, miners and investors who focus on the junior resource sector.

For this week's long-form episode, we visit with our friend Julian Brigden of Mi2 Partners. Julian and Trevor walk through a number of scenarios in which the Federal Reserve is dealt with. On one hand, the equity market appears to be holding up the labor market. But the market is also pricing in fed rate cuts. So there is a diverging correlation between the bond market and the equity market. Julian talks about why this is unsustainable and why something will have to give. We also spend time talking about the equity market in this macro environment. Is it too early to dive head first into equities?

In the first segment of this week's long-form episode, we welcome in Eric Basmajian of EPB Research. Eric is a student of the business cycle so it was fitting to speak with him the day the market took peak notice into ADP Payrolls numbers.

In this week's long-form discussion, we take a look at the Australian mining and resource markets. It is an area of mining we typically do not cover much of here on MSD, but it is incredibly important to have a good understanding of for speculators in the junior side of the industry. We connect with Minelife's publisher, Gavin Wendt to a wide range of topics, including the doldrums of its own resource exchange and where the opportunities lie on the ASX. We then branch into other topics, including his thoughts on the Newmont/Newcrest deal, why rare earth exploration is seeing some liquidity, and just where are we in the commodity cycle? But one of the most important topics we cover is the role Australia plays in a de-globalized world. Will it continue to be China's main supplier of metals and resources? Or will geopolitics force Australia into different directions?
