The Traditional Playbook Is Not Working: CIIS 2026

The old investment rules are no longer enough to protect capital in this new market with greater macro volatility. With the oil crisis ongoing, the global economy continues to face rising pressure and uncertainty. Crude prices have soared up to $112 per barrel. European gas surged more than 70% in March and TTF, the European gas benchmark, traded at €54 per megawatt-hour. Even gold and government bonds, which investors usually trust in tough times, are no longer providing the stability they once did. Where can investors safely put their money? In this pre-summit episode of Drumbeats, just a few days before the 2026 Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit at the London Stock Exchange, hosts Mark Magnacca and Rob Brant discuss what’s changed, what matters, and why Canadian Indigenous partnerships are becoming viable solutions for long-term, stable investment opportunities. If you’re an investor, asset manager, or involved in any infrastructure or resource large scale-projects, this episode is a clear preview of where to find sustainable capital opportunities. With the global capital market shifting, Canada is standing out as a stronger solution.
