Specific picks: Orla Mining and Aura Minerals

Jerome Powell claims inflation expectations are anchored, but skyrocketing commodity prices are telling a much darker story. Tavi Costa joins Jeremy Szafron to break down why the Federal Reserve has lost control of the inflation narrative and why a historic hard asset breakout has just begun.

In this Kitco News interview, Tavi Costa of Azuria Capital details why the global economy is entering a 1970s style stagflation cycle. Costa explains that with federal debt at record levels, the central bank cannot raise rates to fight the current energy and supply shocks, leaving them entirely trapped. He exposes the massive divergence between official CPI data and the real cost of raw materials, warning that this inflation impulse will only accelerate.

Beyond the macro picture, Costa reveals exactly how he is positioning his own portfolio to capitalize on this massive market disconnect. He explains why the recent pullback in gold and silver was a generational buying opportunity and shares the exact criteria he uses to pick mining equities. Costa even names the specific mining stocks he is buying right now, arguing that record low capital expenditure across the industry has created the ultimate asymmetric trade for investors.
