Gold Miners: A Screaming Buy?
The current macroeconomic and fundamental setup for gold and gold miners is perhaps the best it has been in nearly two decades. Risks mounting on the back of unsustainably high interest rates in the United States have spilled over into financial markets, stoking anxiety among heavily dollar-exposed investors. And while global central banks have been purchasing gold in amounts nearing 40-year highs, institutional and retail investors remain largely underinvested.
Meanwhile, gold miners have all but tamed runaway costs weighing on last year’s earnings. With all-in sustaining costs still well below current spot gold prices—and valuations at extremely attractive levels—M&A deals eluding many of the miners in 2022 have reemerged as enticing opportunities for value creation.
Join us as we discuss:
- Our outlook for gold prices
- Gold market M&A and value creation (vs. growth)
- Stand-out junior miners
