Watch Uranium
Almost 30% of Uranium is uncontracted, resulting in poor spot price performance. Utilities keep waiting for cheaper pounds that aren't coming. And every month they wait, the deficit grows. When they finally buy, spot won't walk higher. It'll gap. Source: Kasuha Research on X
Silver is actually cheap relative to the global currency fiat money supply.
At $90, everyone knows that silver is at nominal all-time highs. But relative to M2, it’s well below a historical peak. This suggests significant upside potential if the market catches up to full monetary expansion. ▪️ If silver matches its 2011 money-supply ratio, you’re looking at about $97 per oz. (we're almost here) ▪️ If silver matches the 1980s ratio, it’s about $531 per ounce. Source: Kasuha Research on X
