Gold Miners Kick On: Gold miners rallied last week, even as gold prices dipped approximately 2.0% to US$3,290 per ounce. In Australian dollar terms, the decline was milder, down 1.1% to A$5,110 per ounce. Gold miners often trade at a discount to gold prices due to factors like concerns over price outlook, operational hurdles such as labor shortages, or adverse weather conditions. However, periods like this highlight miners' outperformance, likely fueled by robust margin growth, sector M&A activity, and the prospect of strong dividends in upcoming reporting seasons.
Financials Strength: The financial sector continues to demonstrate strength across major banks, regional banks, and insurers, reflecting broad-based stability.
Real estate green shoots: Several Charter Hall REITs reached new yearly highs. This coincides with a roughly 20-basis-point drop in Australian 10-year yields since the RBA's rate cut on Tuesday, May 20.
