Record inflows for ETF Securities gold ETPs ETF Securities has announced record year to date net inflows of over USD1 billion since 1 January 2016.
The firm reports that inflows to its ETF/ETP range included USD720 million into gold linked ETPs (99 per cent into physically backed ETPs) and over USD320 million into oil linked ETPs.
They say that on Tuesday 9 February, the firm saw its highest ever one day net inflow, of USD345 million, into its gold linked ETPs.
James Butterfill, Head of Research, says: ”We expected an improved performance for gold in 2016 and it’s certainly starting to materialise. We believe that Janet Yellen’s testimony today regarding the trajectory for the US Federal Reserve monetary policy and wider central bank monetary policy effectiveness are bringing financial market stability worries to the fore. This comes amid heightened concerns for European bank liquidity, the risk of a Brexit and the uncertainty regarding the US presidency candidates. Consequently, investors are returning to gold as a core diversifier and safe haven investment. Given the increasingly challenging investment and economic environment, we expect this trend to continue.”
LONDON, 2 februari 2016: ETF Securities, en av världens ledande och oberoende leverantörer av börshandlade produkter (ETPer), tror att råvarumarknaderna kan vara nära de mest attraktiva nivåerna någonsin efter fortsatta nedgångar. Råvaror på bottennivå innebär stor möjlighet.
Trots att inställningen till råvaror är nära den lägsta nivån någonsin så finns det många faktorer som pekar på att priserna kommer att stiga under 2016, Detta framgick under ETF Securities årliga analytikerkonferens.
”Om man tittar på nettopositionen i terminer[1] står det klart att förväntningarna på råvaror är historiskt låga. Vi kan till och med befinna oss på den absolut lägsta nivån någonsin, i så kallad ”peak bearishness”. Det är kanske inte ditt livs chans, men det kan åtminstone vara det bästa tillfället under den här konjunkturcykeln”, säger James Butterfill, ETF Securities chef för analys och investeringsstrategi.
Butterfill menar att priserna nu fallit så lågt att många råvaror handlas under marginalkostnaden för produktion. Detta gör att de globala leverantörerna nu till slut tvingats skära ner utbudet.
Samtidigt kommer efterfrågan fortsätta att vara stabil, om inte öka, till följd av det låga oljepriset som stimulerar ekonomisk tillväxt och stärker företagens vinstmarginaler.
”Marknaderna ser uppenbarligen inte till grundläggande fundamenta utan när det gäller råvaror verkar det handla endast om känsla. Men sentimentet följer helt klart priset och historiken visar att i en miljö med stigande räntor brukar råolje- och industriråvarupriser vanligtvis stiga”, fortsätter James Butterfill.
Buterfill tonar ned farhågor om att den allmänna ekonomiska avmattningen i Kina kan ha en stor negativ inverkan på råvaror.
Han påpekade att den kinesiska konsumtionen av de fyra stora (”big four”) metallerna – aluminium, koppar, zink och bly – fortfarande växer med 8,5 % per år[2].
”Många av de farhågor som diskuteras – avmattningen i Kina, spänningar i Mellanöstern, överansträngda aktie- och obligationsmarknader, konkursrisken för högavkastande obligationer – är egentliga inte nya. Det enda som är nytt är vad som händer efter nio år av mycket låga räntor”, säger James Butterfill.
Angående oro över utdelningar svarade han att vissa företag kommer att minska utdelningen detta kvartal medan andra istället redan minskar sina investeringar.
”Aggressiva nedskärningar i investeringar kan komma att påverka framtida infrastruktur och produktionskapacitet och detta är oroande. För mig verkar det rimligare att äga själva oljan än oljebolagen”, fortsätter James Butterfill.
