Comentario3
Having lagged the move in gold and silver prices thus far in 2024, sentiment to miners showed a marked improvement with the Fund NAV rising over 16%. The Fund performance compared to a 21% sterling return registered by the Gold Bugs Index and the GDXJ equity ETF. However, we anticipate that the lag in performance of the smaller equities held in the Fund will catch-up with larger peers given their relatively attractive valuations.
Gold was one of the stronger commodities with the price rising over 9% during March to new all-time highs. Silver is latterly starting to catch-up, registering a 10% price increase over the month. Prices held despite a more hawkish move in US FED rate expectations after FOMC minutes indicated broader US labour markets were stubbornly resilient despite relatively tepid economic growth. Increasingly there appears to be a focus on ever growing government debt levels which have shown little sign of reversing, as evidence by the latest US congression Budget Office projections.
Recent physical gold buying has been led by China, with a pick-up in retail demand showing in import data. This has been potentially driven by broader concerns on the economy, particularly the weak regional property sector. Alongside this is the healthy net central bank demand: People's Bank of China (PBoC) data showed China's gold reserves continued to rise with the addition of 0.39 Moz in February taking official reserves to 72.6Moz (+10% year-on-year). Physical gold ETF's showed a pick-up in buying but aggregate holdings nevertheless ended 246k ounces lower over the month. We believe gold hitting all-time highs despite steady ETF selling is a positive, as would also be the case should ETF's turn steady buyers, further tightening the market.
West African Resources and Fortuna Gold and Silver were strong contributors to performance. This was closely followed by Australian gold producer Karora which received bid interest from ASX-listed Ramelius, as well as reports of a further interested party also in discussion with the company. While we do not focus our stock selection specifically on M&A targets, we believe quality undervalued assets should result in a higher probability of them becoming targets. The sector remains short of growth projects, and so we would anticipate a pick-up in M&A activity going forward. This should help close the discounts of junior miners to the larger. Calidus was the primary detractor to performance with the group undertaking an equity funding, in which the Fund participated, as part of a broader restructuring of its debt and gold hedging.
