Questions & Answers

Q: Will metals have a negative year like in 2018?

Not expected, as macroeconomic reasons that negatively affected metals in 2018, such as tensions and trade tariffs talks, are showing signs of softening, which could lead to positive growth in the industrial metal sector.

Q: What is the outlook for uranium and palladium in 2019?

Uranium is expected to have a continued steady climb due to supply deficits, potential section 232 movement outcomes, and uranium long-term contracts. On the other hand, palladium is considered overpriced and its current bubble not sustainable.

Q: How can investors differentiate between metals with potential and ones that are stagnant?

Metals like palladium, which are currently overpriced and have unsustainable supply deficits, should be avoided. Investors should focus on base metals with strong supply-demand fundamentals and potential growth after trade tariff talks reach a favorable resolution.

Q: Is gold a good investment?

Gold is not considered a good investment historically as it does not consistently generate profits. However, gold is often seen as a safe haven and can be acquired to accumulate wealth or as a speculative asset.

Summary & Key Takeaways

  • The industrial metals sector is poised for growth due to potential breakthroughs in trade tariffs talks between China and the US.

  • Gold markets experienced a downturn in the last quarter of 2018 but have rebounded in January, suggesting strong metal demand.

  • Uranium is expected to continue its steady climb due to supply deficits and potential positive outcomes from section 232 movement in the United States.
