📊 Inflation Pushing Capital Into Oil?

Good Morning Investors,

Real asset themes strengthened materially. Energy and commodity benchmarks advanced on rising oil prices and renewed interest in inflation protection. This move is directly supportive for exploration, production, and services focused resource companies, particularly those tied to oil, gas, and bulk commodities. Many Canadian venture listed juniors lagged, suggesting the move remains early and selective rather than broadly crowded.

Sentiment indicators are improving, but macro signals remain mixed. Bond market moves and uncertainty around future Federal Reserve leadership are keeping headline risk elevated and volatility uneven. Near term, the opportunity set favors selective exposure to commodity and energy related small caps, alongside disciplined entries in oversold technology names. Broad participation remains limited, so stock selection and risk management continue to matter more than index direction.
