I’ve developed a slightly unhealthy new habit…
Every morning, before I’ve even made my first coffee, I’m checking the price of OIL.
Multiple times a day, actually.
I have a tab permanently pinned in my browser showing real-time Brent Crude prices – and I find myself glancing at it the way some people check their social media feeds.
But here’s the thing…
Watching that number tick up and down in real time – sometimes by dollars in a matter of minutes – is one of the most visceral ways I’ve found to feel just how fragile and fast-moving the global economy really is.
A news headline breaks about Iran sending missiles into one of its neighbours oil refineries, and within seconds, the price of the oil lurches in response.
It’s humbling. And frankly, a little terrifying.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – Monday issues of What Really Makes Money are supposed to be about mindset, productivity, and building better habits.
And yes, we’ll get back to that next week.
But right now, I can’t ignore what’s happening in global markets.
Because whether you’re an active investor or not, the moves in commodity markets are quietly reshaping the financial landscape in ways that affect all of us.
But here’s what’s interesting.
While everyone’s eyes have been glued to oil prices, another commodity has been quietly staging one of the most remarkable runs in financial history – and most ordinary people completely missed it.
GOLD.
You probably know there has been a huge surge in the price of gold in the last few years. This has been driven by a “perfect storm” of global instability and shifting financial strategies.
Starting in early 2024 when gold was around $2,000, central banks (particularly in China and India) began buying record amounts of the yellow metal to diversify away from the US dollar.
Meanwhile geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine pushed investors toward “safe-haven” assets.
This momentum turned into a massive rally in 2025 with worries over persistent inflation and interest rate cuts made gold more attractive.
The price eventually peaked above $5,500 in January 2026 before a recent correction back to around $4,700, still leaving the market significantly higher than its pre-2024 levels.
With all this volatility, I thought I should do some digging and see if I could find any experts who could share insights and even identify any key opportunities.
And I’m delighted to say that I’ve… er… struck gold! 😉
I’ve managed to get access to a new report from top gold expert Tony Barassi who is part of the amazing Reliable Trading Team.
Tony is known for his deep expertise in commodity markets with a particular passion for gold trading.
He recently put together a fascinating report called Four Gold Stocks to Own For The New Gold Era.
Now this is usually only available to those within the Reliable Trading Community, but I thought this could be perfect for my readers.
So I managed to get permission to share it with you.
You can read the whole report by clicking HERE.
As you will see Tony has identified 4 Gold related investments he believes have great upside potential.
Now, I am not suggesting you start investing in any of these, but I just wanted to give you a taster of what’s going on in the gold investment world right now and give you some ideas of where the potential opportunities lie.
If you’re interested in getting Tony to provide more indepth training and guidance on trading and investing in gold, then just email me with a ‘Yes’ and I’ll see if we can arrange something.
Enjoy the report!
