Cabot SX Gold & Metals Advisor Issue: October 25, 2022
While gold remains under pressure from a strong dollar, producers of industrial metals like copper and steel are beginning to show signs of perking up. Booming demand from alternate energy applications is the big driver here.

Elsewhere, the global titanium supply crunch continues with no immediate relief in sight.

In the trading portfolio, two new positions are recommended, including a major steel producer and a titanium market player.

In the trading portfolio, no new positions are recommended for now as the broad financial market remains unsettled (with increased spillover risk into the metals).
