Jonathan Wellum, CFA (CEO & CIO, Rocklinc Investment Partners) joins Marc Patrone on News Talk Sauga 960 to break down what rising rates mean for Canadian investors: the tariff deadline with the U.S., why $1 trillion in capital has left Canada over the past decade, the pressure on the Canadian dollar, why central banks worldwide are stacking gold while the Bank of Canada holds zero, and the investment playbook when yields rise — short duration, essential and scarce businesses, hard assets, and caution on high-multiple tech.📖 Chapters ⏰ 00:00 Segment Intro and Guest 00:29 Tariff Deadline Impact 01:35 Canada US Trade Leverage 02:22 Why Cutting Oil Fails 03:10 Bond Yields Rising Explained 04:40 Inflation Deficits and AI 06:19 Weak Canadian Dollar Causes 10:20 Gold Reserves and Policy 11:20 Portfolio Strategy for Rates 12:37 Contact and Closing 13:07 Investment Strategies for Volatility: rocklinc.com/etfConnect with us!
