Against this backdrop, Investigator Resources Ltd (ASX: IVR) — whose share price has more than tripled over the past year — has pulled back from recent highs as traders de-risk. The key question now is whether silver’s renewed surge signals another leg higher, offering leveraged upside for IVR, or just more short-term volatility.
Fortescue Ltd is a low-cost iron ore producer with strong cash flow and attractive fully franked dividends, but earnings remain highly exposed to iron ore prices and Chinese demand.

Coal prices are rising as global energy disruptions, particularly gas supply issues linked to Middle East tensions, push utilities to switch to coal as a reliable fallback fuel. Strong electricity demand in Asia and limited short-term alternatives are further supporting demand. Australian coal producers are well positioned to benefit, with higher prices boosting margins and cash flow, making ASX-listed coal stocks a direct way to gain exposure to this trend.
