In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jan 15, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains how the U.S. government is increasingly acting as a venture capitalist, subsidizing demand and investing directly across metals, materials, and mining to regain control of critical supply chains from China.
She outlines how national security concerns, reshoring, and industrial policy could support higher prices in assets like silver and copper by encouraging domestic production and refining.
The discussion frames the current metals move as part of a broader industrial renaissance driven by government-backed capital spending and strategic resource control.
