  • What Gold, Oil, and Copper Reveal About Inflation

    What Gold, Oil, and Copper Reveal About Inflation
    Feb 10 2026
    Markets feel shaky. Headlines move fast. Noise feels nonstop.
    In this episode of the Cordier Commodity Report, Joe Pardavila sits down with veteran commodities trader James Cordier to break down what is actually driving gold, silver, oil, and inflation right now.


    James explains why commodities often signal economic reality faster than stocks or headlines, and why real assets sit underneath every major shift, including AI, energy policy, and global conflict. The conversation covers why copper and silver matter more than many tech stocks, how interest rates and the US dollar move commodity prices, and why inflation shows up at the grocery store long before it shows up in reports.


    You will hear why beef prices are not coming down anytime soon, why politicians cannot flip a switch on supply, and why gold behaves differently than almost every other commodity. James also explains who really uses futures markets, why hedgers matter, and how investors think about commodities without chasing speed or leverage.


    This episode strips away buzzwords and focuses on supply, demand, and incentives. If you want to understand inflation, commodities, and the real economy without hype, start here.

  • What’s Actually Driving Gold, Silver, and Oil in 2026

    What’s Actually Driving Gold, Silver, and Oil in 2026
    Feb 5 2026
    In this episode of the Cordier Commodity Report, Joe Pardavila sits down with veteran commodities trader James Cordier to break down what truly moves gold, silver, oil, and the global economy beyond headlines.
    James explains why most market commentary looks backward and how indicators like open interest reveal who is buying with conviction versus who is scrambling to exit losing positions. He walks through his recent call on gold’s historic pullback, the emotional forces behind precious metals, and why silver moves in explosive bursts while gold trends more steadily.


    The conversation traces James’s journey from collecting silver coins as a teenager to building a decades-long career in commodities, including the early soybean trade that launched his path. Together, Joe and James unpack how fear narratives distort oil prices, why supply and demand still rule energy markets, and which commodity trends investors continue to chase too late, including coffee after Brazil’s drought.


    You’ll also hear James’s outlook on crypto flows into gold, the role of central banks, the impact of political cycles on markets, and why commodities are becoming a core part of modern portfolios.


    A grounded, data-driven look at how real market structure beats noise, hype, and headlines every time.
