Performance of gold equities has been outstanding in 2016. Increasing liquidity supports this trend, the Mining IPO market which was closed for several years has now re-opened. There have already been more mining IPO’s in 2016 than 2015, and several prospective IPO’s have been announced to the market, so there are more to come. Where was risk money hiding ? We have observed an historic inverse relationship between mining and tech sectors, which both contain high proportions of risk money chasing multiple returns. After the East Asian currency crisis that precipitated a deep bust for mining stocks, the tech bubble started to grow. The bubble burst before mining equities began to recover.
