Three White Metals to Buy for Appreciation Amid War: Woods' Wisdom
A keen observer of the ups and downs of metals is Jim Woods, especially with the shaky ceasefire between Iran and the United States, as well as the blocked shipping flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Woods, who heads the Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter and leads the Five Star Trader, TNT Trader, Tactical Trader and Bullseye Stock Trader advisory services, predicted price increases again for silver, platinum and palladium.

"The market is gyrating due to enhanced geopolitical angst in the U.S.-Iran war, the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a chaotic ceasefire situation," added Woods, a former U.S. Army paratrooper and officer. All three of those white metals have industrial uses that can boost demand for them once the military action in Iran and some of its neighboring nations ends.

Buying into the pullback in the shares during the ceasefire negotiations provides a reduced entry price compared to a month ago, said Bryan Perry, who heads the Cash Machine investment newsletter.
"I ultimately believe Iran is trapped in an economic stranglehold per the naval blockade that will result in some favorable workout for the United States," Perry wrote in a recent update to his Cash Machine subscribers. "But as we have seen, the situation can abruptly change."

Three White Metals to Buy for Appreciation Amid War: PALL
As for palladium, Woods described it as an "industrial metal" used in catalytic converters in automobile manufacturing and many other products. The metal also is used in electronics, jewelry and chemical processes.
One way for investors to gain exposure to the metal is by acquiring shares of abrdn Physical Palladium Shares ETF (NYSE Arca: PALL). The Aberdeen Investment exchange-traded fund seeks to reflect the performance of the price of physical palladium, subtracting the fund's expenses. The ETF is physically-backed and intended to be cost-effective and convenient for investors.

Long-time precious metals coin deal Van Simmons, president and a founder of David Hall Rare Coins, in Santa Ana, California, told me recently that platinum is one of the best bets for price appreciation in the next five to 10 years.
"It used to take 2.4 ounces of gold to buy one ounce of platinum," Simmons said. "Today it takes 2.4 ounces of Platinum to buy one ounce of gold."
Platinum is 80 times rarer than gold, Simmons continued. Plus, 98% of it is mined in only two countries: Russia and South Africa, he added.
"Russia doesn't export their platinum and South Africa, which will continue to have their problems with mining platinum," Simmons counseled.
Platinum is a safe "parking place or safety haven" at current price levels. Simmons said.
Three White Metals to Buy for Appreciation Amid War: SCCO
Phoenix, Arizona-based Southern Copper Corp. (NYSE: SCCO), a majority-owned, indirect subsidiary of Grupo Mexico S.A.B. de C.V., reported record-breaking sales, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and net earnings in the first quarter of 2026. Net earnings reached $1,577 million, up 67% compared to the first quarter of 2026. The positive result was driven by higher sales volumes of silver climbing 12%, zinc rising 16% and prices for the company's main products increasing, the company announced.
"In addition, we want to highlight that the company's cash costs dropped from $0.77 per pound to minus $0.11 per copper pound," said Raul Jacobs, its vice president, finance, treasurer and chief financial officer during the company's first-quarter earnings call on April 30. "This is a 114% reduction driven by a growth in revenues for all our byproducts and cost efficiencies across operations. As the world continues to navigate the economic and inflationary impacts arising from current global conflicts, the company has remained resilient and committed to its operational objectives of increasing production to 1.6 million tons while maintaining the cost efficiency discipline that defines it. This year, we will remain focused on achieving our operational targets and advancing the development of our projects."
The copper price increased 38% on the London Metal Exchange from an average of $4.24 per pound in the first quarter of 2025, up to $5.83 per pound in first quarter of 2026, Jacobs said. In the COMEX market, the copper price jumped 27% with an average of $5.80 per pound in first quarter 2026, he added.
"Based on current supply and demand dynamics, we estimate a copper market deficit of 315,000 tons for 2026," Jacobs said. "Copper inventories worldwide stood at 1.2 million tons as of April 21 of this year. We estimate that this inventory currently can cover approximately 16 days of global demand."
Despite the company's name using "Copper," it also mines for silver, molybdenum and zinc. Silver production accounted for 13% of the company's sales in the first quarter of 2026, with prices averaging $83.33 per ounce during that period compared to $32.31 in the first quarter of 2025, representing a price increase of 158%, Jacobs said. Silver mine production rose 11% in the first quarter of 2026, driven primarily by higher production at La Caridad, Buenavista and the IMMSA mines, but partially offset by a dip in production at the company's Peruvian operations, he added.
Molybdenum represented 11% of sales in the first quarter of this year, with an average price of $25.37 per pound in first quarter 2026, an increase of 24% from first-quarter 2025, Southern Copper reported. Zinc produced 3% of the company's sales in first-quarter 2026, with an average price of $1.47 per pound in the quarter, Jacobs said, marking a 14% increase compared to the 2025 first quarter's figure.
The Forecasts & Strategies newsletter recommends Southern Copper, which has amassed a total return of 24.52% since subscribers were advised to buy in on Jan. 5. Citi Research is recommending that shareholders "sell," but uncertainty about the conflict in the Middle East is posing challenges in projecting how the geopolitics will affect different companies and industries.

Three White Metals to Buy for Appreciation Amid War: Asset Strategies
Another sleuth of silver and the other white metals is Rich Checkan, another former Army officer who now is a key leader of Asset Strategies International, of Rockville, Maryland. Checkan, as president and chief operating officer, commented that gold and silver, in particular, keep consolidating after pulling back from their peak prices earlier this year.
"Since the commencement of hostilities with Iran, gold and silver have rallied on peace and pulled back on war or tension," Checkan counseled.
But the long-term remains an issue, and nobody has any plan or desire to curb spending and reverse that trend, Checkan continued. For those looking ahead, a case is strengthening to own gold and silver now, with the spot prices of both down significantly in the past month, he added.
It is a "fantastic time" to secure one's future at a reduced price, Checkan concluded.
Rich Checkan is the COO of Asset Strategies International.
Checkan, who underwent a hip replacement last week, reached out to share his input with me, anyway. He also invited interested in ways to profit from gold, silver and selected other metals to email him at infoasi@assetstrategies.com, or call 1-800-831-0007. When I asked if his military service factored into his need for surgery, Checkan said jumping out of military planes and helicopters with a 125-pound rucksack for the U.S. Army did not help, but he put most of the blame on playing "50 years of soccer."
Three Multi-Metal Stocks to Consider Buying for Income and Growth: Geopolitical Risk
The current war in Iran stems from the 1979 Islamic Revolution, said Hugh Grossman, senior leader of the DayTradeSPY options trading room. The state-sanctioned seizure on November 4, 1979, of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and the subsequent 444-day hostage crisis symbolized opposition to U.S. policies, Grossman added.
"In chanting 'Death to America,' perhaps President Jimmy Carter should have finished off the conflict at that time, but Americans, being the patient society we are, graciously kicked the problem down the road," Grossman said. "Decades later, Iran has developed -- ironically with the financial, military and technological help from America -- the means to seriously threaten us."
President Trump faces little choice but to end this "relentless threat," not to mention the "horrific slaughter" its current regime did to its own people by killing tens of thousands of protestors opposing the government, Grossman continued.
Even though geopolitical conflicts can have far-reaching effects on the stock market, options trading offers an alternative, Grossman counseled.
"Initially, the resilient market shrugged off the first attack on Tehran," Grossman recalled. "Where we will see the effects will be in the increased price of oil as Iran escalates its threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries a fifth of the world’s oil supplies, but this I expect to be short-lived."
Elevated oil prices can spur inflation and imperil interest rates, which is why the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) has dropped in the days following the attack, Grossman expressed.
Grossman advised investors that he doubts the Iran war will have long-term, "devastating effects," since the economy is still fundamentally strong with consumers and businesses driving solid economic growth. What is also different this time, compared to prior tightening of oil supplies during the 1973 oil embargo, is that the United States became a net energy exporter in 2001.
Grossman and his partner Jon Johnson have an options trading success rate with the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) of more than 83%. With the market remaining volatile, Grossman recommended the DayTradeSPY options trading room and its focus on trading SPDR S&P 500 options as a good alternative to investing in stocks. |
