Back to EpisodesThe Mother of All Commodity Supercycles
Description
“If tech was the best performer for 25 years because it took in all the cash… what do you think happens when all the cash flows into commodities and infrastructure?”
That’s the big question driving today’s conversation—and according to Daniel Dreyfus, the answer could define the next decade of investing. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Daniel Dreyfus, Chief Investment Officer at Bornite Capital, lays out his high-conviction thesis that we are in the early stages of the largest capital spending cycle in modern history. From AI-driven data centre demand to aging power grids, critical minerals, and global supply chain reshoring, he explains why trillions of dollars are now being redirected into real assets—and why that shift could fundamentally reshape market leadership.
Dreyfus walks through how he identifies “pinch points” across supply chains, why he believes commodities like copper, oil, and gold still have room to run, and how investors should think about energy, infrastructure, and inflation in a world of rising geopolitical risk and currency debasement. He also breaks down why he sees Canada as one of the most compelling places to invest in energy today, and what needs to happen for that opportunity to be fully realized.
In Mailbag, Dreyfus weighs in on key viewer questions across energy, natural gas, gold, copper, fertilizers, waste management, and more—including his views on names like PrairieSky (PSK.TO), Cenovus (CVE.TO), Tourmaline (TOU.TO), Paramount (POU.TO), Barrick (ABX.TO), Hudbay (HBM.TO), Mosaic (MOS), GFL (GFL.TO), and Pan American Silver (PAAS.TO).
In Pro Picks, he revisits past ideas like Cheniere (LNG), Ivanhoe (IVN.TO), and Talen (TLN), and shares new high-conviction names including Skeena Resources (SKE.TO) and Carpenter Technology (CRS)—explaining where he sees asymmetric upside tied to this massive capex cycle. If the last 25 years were defined by capital-light tech dominance, this episode makes the case that the next 25 could look very different.
