Fast Five | 5 Dec 2023

2025 was the year of gold: record prices, soaring miners, and plenty of FOMO. Sean Aylmer talks to Morningstar equity market strategist Lachlan Halloway about what drives gold cycles, what history tells us after big peaks, and why Morningstar’s long-run gold price forecast sits well below today’s levels. Lachlan also explains what “peak frenzy” looks like, and whether there’s any value left in gold miners.

This is Fear & Greed's summer series - all-new short episodes every day, with regular business news back from January 12. All information is general in nature. If you want to invest, we recommend you visit a financial advisor who can tailor investments to your needs.

Tequila may not be your first thought as an investment. But the market is not just real, it's now expanding beyond the spirit itself. Michael Thompson is joined by Stefan von Imhof, co-founder of Alts.co, to explore why tequila can have a faster “appreciation cycle” than wine or whisky, and why premiumisation is lifting demand for higher-quality agave products. Stefan makes the case for tequila tourism: a Mexico-based version of Napa, the Barossa, or the bourbon trail.
