Royal Gold Inc enquires and manages precious metal royalties and streams with a focus on gold. The company purchases a percentage of the metal produced from a mineral property for an initial payment without assuming responsibility for mining operations. Similarly, precious metal streams are purchase agreements with mine operators providing the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine in exchange for an upfront deposit payment. Generally, Royal Gold does not work on the properties in which it holds royalty and streaming assets. The company owns a portfolio of producing, development, evaluation, and exploration royalties and streams, and the majority of group revenue is generated from Canada, Mexico, Chile, and the United States.

President Trump has sent Iran a 15-point peace plan addressing nuclear programs and maritime routes, with prediction markets showing a 48% probability of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire by April 30. Ten Russell 1000 stocks down 17-33% since the war began are positioned for potential recovery if peace talks succeed. War-battered sectors including airlines, mining, and cruise lines staged sharp premarket rebounds on the diplomatic developments.
Markets sold off sharply on March 19, 2026, as Iranian strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure pushed crude oil above $100/barrel, triggering stagflation concerns.

Gold plummeted 4.5% as real yields climbed, while energy stocks surged and precious metals miners collapsed.
The article advises cautious, small allocations to Bitcoin and gold due to their limitations, but recommends precious metals streaming and royalty companies as a better alternative for long-term investors seeking growth and dividends.
The article highlights three Dividend Champion stocks with 25+ years of consecutive annual dividend increases that have outpaced inflation: Royal Gold (RGLD), York Water (YORW), and Caterpillar (CAT). These companies are positioned as attractive income investments ahead of potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026, with strong track records of dividend growth even during challenging market conditions.
