黄金仍然值得投资吗?

2023.09.11 在经历了今年的火热开局之后,尽管高通胀和熊市等通常的支撑因素保持不变,但近几个月黄金的表现有所减弱。 今年迄今为止,现货黄金仅小幅上涨 6%,与我们 5 月份看到的两位数回报率和接近历史高位相比,这是相当低迷的。与据称疲软的股市相比,这也相当平淡。例如,标准普尔 500 指数今年迄今的涨幅为 16.1%。纳斯达克指数甚至更好,为 27%。 显然,在此过程中发生了一些事情,使得黄金不再像以前那样有利可图。现在引出了一个问题:金条是否仍然是一项有价值的投资,或者其受欢迎程度是否有所下降。 坦率地说,答案取决于我们正在讨论的投资组合类型以及投资的时间框架。正如 Investopedia […]

美国软着陆势头增强,不出现衰退

2023.09.08 不久前,我们暗示美联储可能能够实现其传说中的“软着陆”,而从目前美国经济的发展情况来看,这一预测看起来相当精明。 正如我们在之前的文章中详述的那样,线索一直存在:作为经济活动很大一部分驱动力的美国大公司正在赚取巨额利润,这意味着更高的就业率和消费者的可支配收入。 仅仅通过提高价格来适应通胀主题,不断上升的利率除了提高利润外什么也没做。事实上,利息支付占税后利润的百分比实际上处于 60 年来的最低水平!因此,标普 500 指数收复了 2022 年熊市一半以上的损失也就不足为奇了,而且正如华尔街所声称的那样,现在正处于牛市。 正如我们之前多次讨论过的,央行不能仅仅因为无力承担而继续加息(请注意,目前美国联邦债务的年度支付额为 32.6 万亿美元,即将达到 […]

采矿业面临另一个荒废的十年

2023.09.06 与任何其他行业一样,采矿业在过去十年中也经历了相当多的问题,影响了其整体声誉和效率。 现在面临着为全球能源转型提供足够矿物的艰巨挑战,该行业必须深入挖掘——无论是字面上还是隐喻上——以提高其绩效。 但问题的根源是多方面的,阻力来自各个方面。关键问题包括全球技能短缺、环境和人权问题以及资金的可用性和使用。 在这些问题得到解决之前,采矿业的价值将无法最大化,并且该行业可能在未来十年遭受同样的命运。 下面,我们将探讨采矿业长期可持续发展的每一个主要障碍,以及该行业已经(或尚未)采取哪些措施来减轻这些风险。 关键技能差距 采矿业面临的最大挑战之一是劳动力老龄化和后继人才缺乏造成的技能差距日益扩大。 科罗拉多矿业学院研究和技术转让副总裁沃尔特·科潘 (Walter Copan) 表示,采矿业正面临着严重的技能差距,再加上即将到来的预期退休人数方面的所谓“灰色海啸”,情况更加严重。 德勤今年早些时候发布的一项研究显示,近 […]

世界上存在金属盗窃问题,而且这将持续存在

2023.09.04 涉及工业金属的丑闻正在变得司空见惯,而且似乎没有采取任何措施来阻止此类事件一次又一次发生。 本周,欧洲最大的铜生产商 Aurubis 发现其库存中缺少价值数百万美元的废金属,成为最新的受害者。该公司认为,失踪金属的背后是供应商和员工之间的阴谋,目的是操纵其回收业务中的废金属原木,该业务原定于 9 月底结束。 该公司本身并不开采矿石,而是购买大量含铜废料,从近乎全新的制造边角料到旧电缆、管道和电子电路板。然后,它每天加工数千吨这些材料以生产精炼金属。 其网站称该公司从“30 多个采矿合作伙伴和一些贸易商”采购金属精矿。 “我们目前所知的是,我们的一些回收供应商似乎操纵了他们向我们提供的原材料的细节,他们一直在与我们采样部门的员工合作,向我们隐瞒短缺情况,” 投资者关系和企业沟通副总裁安吉拉·塞德勒 (Angela […]

铜如今被列为美国的重要矿产,这是理所当然的

2023.08.25 在我们意识到之前,全球的铜市场正接近一个拐点。 一方面,作为地球上使用最广泛的金属之一,铜的需求一直稳步增长,与经济的增长步伐相匹配。现在,由于电气化需求的增加,铜的需求更加迫切。 这是因为铜具有出色的电导性能,因此成为可再生能源设施(如风能、太阳能、水能和热能)以及电动汽车建设的关键组成部分。 另一方面,供应问题已经成为普遍关注的焦点,因为能源基础设施对铜的需求增加,使全球生产商不得不赶上迅速增长的需求。 很有可能,我们很快将会看到铜供应不足的情况,这将严重影响全球减碳努力。事实上,一些世界上最大的矿业公司和金属交易商已经警告,供应短缺可能会在2025年甚至更早出现。 铜在电气化中的需求 这一预测的基础是未曾见过的、可观的铜需求在未来几年中的预期增长。 除了铜在建筑电线、管道、交通运输、电力传输和通信等传统应用领域外,现在还有额外的电气化需求。 为了推动能源转型,据估计,将需要数百万英尺的铜电线来强化全球电力网,还需要数百万吨的铜来建设风能和太阳能发电场。 根据铜发展协会 (CDA) 的数据,一个 […]
