OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

06/07/2026 09:11

Gold ($US/oz)

The commitment of traders (COT) report last week showed us that the bullish speculative conviction in gold stalled, at least near term, with the bulls and bears adding almost exactly equal positions. While the gross net long position could still see selling emerge into strength but the near-flat week-on-week change in net positioning suggests to us the market is at an inflection point.

06/07/2026 09:11

LME Copper ($US/MT)

Copper trod water last week, not benefitting from the same tailwinds as gold - yet. However, related stocks like BHP (+2.6%) and Sandfire (+2.4%) did encouragingly bounce after struggling through the back end of June. On the positive side, the late-June macro-driven correction was courtesy of a hawkish Fed and strong US dollar rather than a fundamental demand deterioration, attracting physical buyers relatively quickly.

Question asked 04/07/2026

Sudden drop in Asian ETFs?

Crickey! I'm heavily invested in Asian ETFs, but on Friday 26th it dropped by 4.71%. This was pretty shocking for me, or is just life? It appears to be because of concerns about future demand for the demand of semiconductor, and other picks and shovels supporting the hyperscalers, AI and data centre development. Fortunately I have read where Samsung and SK Hynix, who dominate in the Korean market, will announce on Monday 29th June investment of "hundreds of billions of dollars" in new production facilities. So very mixed messages here for me. Do you have any information/insights on these developments? I continue to monitor my funds daily with a view to cash when the time is right. Very difficult!

Question asked 04/07/2026

Pullbacks & Corrections

Resources (I'm writing this on Monday and also the EOFY, so we'll see what the coming week brings. In your Webinar, Shawn implied that we commodity investors seem to think that in a bull market we expect our shares to go up every day. That's a bit condescending. I have shares in Australian and North American companies in gold, silver, uranium and others. I expected volatility right from my first commodity buy in 2019. But this calendar year the majority of them are down anywhere from 20% to 65% and falling. Should I call that a pullback or a whopping big correction? I don't see how that can possibly look like the beginning of a super cycle. What am I missing?
