The Vox Markets Podcast

Watch the YouTube The CQS Natural Resources fund is one of the most influential and long-standing mining investment trusts in London. Portfolio manager Robert Crayfourd joins Vox to offer his insights into where the mining markets go from here - in a year in which gold has surpassed all expectations, but other metals still have some way to go. Are we now in a bull market? - yes, says Crayfourd, but there's still plenty of upside on the table. CQS remains well positioned in precious metals and in copper equities, and offers investors access to overseas opportunities that they might not otherwise get exposure to. Crayfourd also offers his thoughts on base and critical metals, lithium, and why the weaponisation of the dollar has had such a profound impact on commodities.

GreenX's chief executive Ben Stoikovich joins Vox to tell us more about the project, its historical roots and its possible future as a key strategic asset inside an EU that's crying out for more locally-produced critical metals.
