Commentary3
The trust benefited from stronger precious metal markets again in November. Gold rose 5.9% and silver 16.0%, lifting precious metal mining indices by 15% in sterling. Central Banks remained strong buyers, and financial players via physical ETFs returned. Gold was further supported by crypto stablecoin Tether buying 116t, or $15bn. China's official customs data shows that net imports of non-monetary gold declined to 35.6t in October (-54% y/y). However, UK gold exports to China tracked at comparable levels to last year, suggesting underreporting of Chinese imports.
Silver outperformed gold during the month. Previously, silver had only increased in line with gold over the last year, rather than showing its characteristic heightened price gains seen in prior cycles. It is encouraging to see this delivered in November. Silver is a smaller market than gold and has been in deficit for the last four years. Thus, it can see greater volatility driven by speculative retail flows, as silver's lower value per ounce means there is little interest from Central Banks.
Record cash generation for the sector will likely drive more M&A in 2026. This week saw Coeur Mining bid for New Gold; both were holdings in the fund, as they look to create a large North American-focused producer. The fund reduced New Gold and Coeur Mining, whilst adding to G-Mining and Eldorado Gold over the month, believing they offer more attractive valuations and catalysts through 2026.
Fund holding Predictive Discovery, a gold developer in Guinea, received a higher bid from Perseus than the prior bid from another fund holding, Robex Resources, which has a neighbouring mine. Robex is set to start production in December and, having lagged through construction, could rerate on beginning production. This could switch the bid back in its favour.
