from SmarterMarkets™ · host Abaxx Technologies Inc.

We wrap up Setting Course 2026 this week with part two of our conversation with Robert Friedland and Jeff Currie. Robert is Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines and Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of I-Pulse. Jeff Currie is Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle.   David Greely sits down with Robert and Jeff to discuss what's happening at Davos, what the revenge of the miners and the real economy means for copper and other commodity prices, and the other big themes that Jeff is seeing for 2026 and beyond.   We'll pick up with last week's conversation as Jeff discusses how the need to build out infrastructure for AI data centers is leading traditionally asset-light big tech companies to become asset-heavy.
