NaokiKim/iStock via Getty Images The iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF ( XGD:CA ) is not an ETF we particularly like on first pass. The first would be a perennial reason, which is that the iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF ( RING ) has a lower expense ratio and similar exposures. Also, the performance is almost in line with a negligible difference. We would never choose XGD over RING with a 0.61% expense ratio according to Seeking Alpha versus 0.39% . Data by YCharts The other reason has more to do with the particular market environment. Stress on Gulf nation oil capacity and ability to sell is likely putting pressure on gold prices through their possible selling of reserves akin to the 1983 oil price crash. They have quite a lot of gold reserves there. The other reason is that the reinflation risk itself exacerbates selling due to opportunity costs of holding gold against increasingly high-yield bond alternatives. Moreover, aspects of the US involvement in the war could mean a departure from the assumption of isolationism, which may weaken the debasement trade supporting gold over the USD, which has recovered a bit as a consequence. Also, war is usually a reason to buy gold, so when the war ends, that buying angle will also disappear. The only upside to gold we see would be contingent on the end of the war, where, depending on US comportment, the debasement trade may reignite. But it depends on the US withdrawing in a particularly unhelpful way for Gulf partners, which isn't necessarily how it will go. XGD Breakdown In terms of the composition of the XGD , it follows a pretty similar structure to other select gold ETFs, such as RING. XGD:CA holdings (Seeking Alpha) Newmont ( NEM ) features highly, then Agnico ( AEM ). Taking RING as an example of a lower expense ratio gold miner ETF, we see similarly mid-teen exposure to NEM and AEM as well, with Barrick ( B ) soon after.

Jackyenjoyphotography/Moment via Getty Images Canadian Solar ( CSIQ ) up 1.6% in Tuesday's trading as shares grind slowly higher after buckling after the company's significant Q4 earnings miss that included a $1.66/share net loss, far more than the expected $0.47 EPS loss. Q4 revenues fell 18% Q/Q and 20% Y/Y to $1.2B, below the $1.37B analyst consensus estimate, a decline the company attributed to lower sales of solar modules and battery energy storage systems, as well as delays in certain project deliveries. Given the stock's sharp decline since the earnings report. Freedom analyst Dmitriy Pozdynakov upgraded Canadian Solar ( CSIQ ) to Buy from Hold with a $16 price target, believing the current valuation increasingly reflects near-term headwinds while underappreciating the longer-term earnings potential from the company's U.S. manufacturing buildout and growing energy storage franchise. Below-consensus Q1 guidance added further pressure to the stock initially, although Canadian Solar's ( CSIQ ) strategic pivot toward U.S. manufacturing and $3.6B storage backlog represent meaningful long-term catalysts, Pozdynakov said.

Dragon Claws/iStock via Getty Images Inflation is back in the spotlight. According to financial arenas, the U.S. CPI rate could reach 4% at some point this year. 1-year inflation swaps trade near 3.1%, while the breakeven rate (based on the yield difference between TIPS and nominal Treasury yields) is even higher. It has the vibes of 2022 all over again. Today, a somewhat new ETF claims to help investors gain exposure to inflationary trends. The Horizon Kinetics Inflation Beneficiaries ETF ( INFL ) holds a basket of equities linked to resource prices. I have a "H old" rating on the fund. While its technicals and momentum are strong, the valuation is not overly compelling, while the broader premise of the product may lead investors to believe that it should track US consumer prices rather closely. We’ve seen lately, however, that INFL and inflation expectations can diverge. U.S. CPI Inflation Rate Seen Peaking At 4.0% In 2026 Kalshi INFL Outperforming Global Equities & Bonds YoY StockCharts.com According to the issuer , INFL is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term capital growth in real (inflation-adjusted) terms. It seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in domestic and foreign equity securities of companies that are expected to benefit, either directly or indirectly, from rising prices of real assets (i.e., assets whose value is mainly derived from physical properties such as commodities), such as those whose revenues are expected to increase with inflation without corresponding increases in expenses. Ranked No. 2 out of 66 in its Sub Class, INFL is a small but growing ETF. Assets under management are currently $1.5 billion, while its annual expense ratio is high at 85 basis points. The trailing 12-month dividend yield is low at only 1.1%, slightly below that of the S&P 500 and significantly under the ex-US index’s payout. But share price momentum is extremely healthy right now, earning INFL a pristine A+ ETF Grade in that category...

Boarding1Now BMO Capital Markets started off coverage on Alaska Air Group ( ALK ) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $50. Analyst Michael Goldie noted visibility into immediate-term energy prices is limited, adding risk to estimates, but sees a longer-term opportunity for profit improvement as the carrier executes against a clear strategic framework, including integration of Hawaiian Airlines, reduced leverage, and transitions into an international airline. "Costs should eventually normalize, even if visibility into when is limited, while at the same time management is executing against a clear strategic framework," updated Goldie. The BMO analyst team sees upside to $70 per share if conditions become more constructive. Shares of Alaska Air ( ALK ) were down 0.1% in afternoon trading to $38.59. The airline stock is off more than 25% since the Iran conflict began and oil prices started to spike. Short interest on ALK stands at 8.5% of the total float.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a ceremony for newly sworn in U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin in the Oval Office at the White House on March 24, 2026 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images President Donald Trump said Tuesday the U.S. and Iran are "in negotiations right now" and suggested Tehran is eager to make a peace deal, even as the Islamic Republic has denied it is in direct talks with Washington. Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said he decided to back off from his recent threat to order strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure "based on the fact we're negotiating." "They're talking to us, and they're talking sense," Trump said when asked to further explain his pivot. Trump said multiple U.S. officials are involved in the negotiations, name-checking Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio . He has previously said U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and close advisor, were in talks with their Iranian counterparts on Sunday evening. Amid the messaging clash between the U.S. and Iran on negotiations, multiple outlets have reported that regional leaders are engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to help broker an end to the war. Earlier Tuesday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in an X post that his country is willing to facilitate talks between the two countries . Trump shared a screenshot of Sharif's post on his official Truth Social account later Tuesday morning. Asked if Trump's post signaled he would accept Pakistan's offer, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNBC, "These are sensitive diplomatic discussions and the United States will not negotiate through the news media."
