Context and risks
WPM is a precious metals streaming company, not a producer: its business depends on gold and silver prices, not on oil or rates. The rise in 10-year rates to 5.17% pressures long-duration asset valuations, but gold has shown resilience; the main risk is a fall in gold (partly discounted by the recent decline) and concentration in precious metals.
