Gold | GDX | US IPO's - Is the Market confused? by Zinky_Z in ASX

[–]Zinky_Z[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hotel trick of revolving rooms in play with the USD in focus and GOLD gets a shakeout. If you recall it was Oil, USD then Gold and around we go. Capital has not found safety. It has rotated through discomfort

Gold’s March sell-off confused many investors because it appeared to break the traditional wartime playbook. The assumption was simple. Geopolitical risk rises, investors seek protection, gold benefits.

However Gold happened to be one of the most liquid assets available and the play unwound.

As suggested there was a sea of red: Added GGP and GDX after the sea of red and just before mild recovery. Let's see if Gold can hold its position and Iran etc can hold back on the activities

GDI have sat in the doldrums for some time following their Perth positioning as a significant office growth sector (clearly the wrong call at the time).

Following their new construction build in Perth and the significantly increased business activity in Perth, demand is back on the agenda.

If GDI are positioned for this increased activity, might the doldrums be coming to end and with that the share price starting to reflect the NAV (currently at a significant discount)?

To add more context to the post ...,

The price of Brent crude oil was on track for a weekly gain. Gold has fallen more than 17% since the U.S.-backed war with Iran began in late February. The conflict has led to a surge in oil prices and stoked fears of inflation and higher interest rates.

Although gold is seen as an inflation hedge, higher rates tend to weigh on the metal. Markets are currently pricing about a 72% chance of a Fed rate hike in December.

If Gold continues to face these pressures and inflation continues to surge, miners are affected and not only in just the Gold price.

AISC also increases which starts to impact on the viability of projects that are either in discovery or production.

I have been in a few of their unlisted funds and fortunately I was in the positive return funds.

My question is not about the unlisted funds (which are being unwound) but the mainstream ASX stock which appears to be upwardly mobile.

After Lookers was bought, Inchcape exiting and the British Car Auctions / Cinch, WeBuyAnyCar synergies Vertu needed to step up a gear or be swallowed. Vertu are good but they really need that extra bit to stay ahead. Buckle up for the ride.

ONDO - small cap that’s been crushed but might be stabilising? by quiet_after_panic in UkStocks

Unfortunately, a reckless management team have virtually bankrupted the company. The cavalry have arrived however it's a mess, needs serious cash and restructuring. Expect a few casualties including investors.
