Resource Market Outlook Global economic growth is showing signs of reaccelerating in the coming months which is expected to improve the demand outlook for the metal commodities. China’s economy in particular appears to be rebounding as aggressive monetary easing coupled together with a simulative fiscal policy has been underway for several months. Metal inventories have been declining for the past five years due in major part to reductions in capital investment in the mining industry. With low inventories any improvement in demand for metals will likely cause a positive reaction in metal prices. Commodity markets have been trading sideways for the past four years. The recent rally has been accompanied by an expansion of the number of new highs in the underlying commodities, indicating that the breadth of the commodities markets are gaining strength. Canadian mining stocks are trading at low valuation levels.

Global Economic Growth Global economic growth is showing signs of reaccelerating in the coming months which is expected to improve the demand outlook for the metal commodities. China’s economy in particular appears to be rebounding as aggressive monetary easing coupled together with a simulative fiscal policy has been underway for several months. The signing of the first phase of the US/China trade resolution will also improve growth in both the US and Chinese economies. While the Coronavirus is expected to have a significant impact on global growth in the near term and on the Chinese economy in particular we expect the policy response to be an even more aggressive fiscal and monetary expansion. This will likely cause an even greater rebound in economic activity once the Coronavirus has been contained.

Global Leading Indicators

Global leading economic indicators are suggesting an upturn in global growth is underway as can be in the chart (gold line). During periods of improving economic growth copper tends to outperform gold as it is more sensitive to changes in economic activity. The copper/gold ratio (blue line) has turned up corroborating the view that global growth is improving.
