Today’s narrative

Sector spotlight – sentiment on the stock
The chart below is that of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX). Since late 2016 price has been grinding higher as investors once again look at the sector on the back of increasingly elevated global geo-political concerns. Sentiment on GG is currently positive with average target prices north of $17.
Anchor sector tailwinds
Elevated geo-political concerns could see investors increase weighting’s towards the industry group in the coming years, with additional demand drivers coming from Chinese and Islamic buying, (the Sharia Gold Standard was approved in late 2016 and allows Muslims (1.6 billion or 25% of the global population) more access to the gold market).
