ENERGY IS THE FUTURE
Zinc
The global Zinc market stood at ~13.8Mt in 2023 and is anticipated
to grow at a CAGR of 2.14% during the forecast period until 2034.
Zinc, an essential chemical element, plays a pivotal role in modern society due to versatile applications.
Emerging importance in renewable energy storage solutions
Global Zinc demand for renewable energy technologies is
forecast to continuously increase during the next decade,
from 109,300 metric tons in 2020 to 364,000 in 2030Solar energy is expected to account for the largest share of Zinc consumption, with a forecast volume of 162,000 metric tons in 2030.
Copper
Urbanizing, electrifying world requires a step change in Copper demand
Annual Copper demand from alternative energy alone is estimated to increase 650% by 2030 (0.99Mt to 6.4Mt)
Copper demand is expected to significantly exceed supply
Analysts forecast an upward trajectory for Copper prices in
2024 and beyond, driven by supply-demand imbalances, US
rate-cutting cycle, and increasing demand from the green
energy sector.The Copper price reached its highest recorded price of
US$11,464 per metric ton, in May 2024.
Gold
Gold has outperformed the US S&P500 this century (660% vs 272%)
Exponential global FIAT currency creation versus constant 2% annual gold supply increase will likely continue this trend
US Dollar has lost +97% of its value relative to gold since start of Federal Reserve in 1913
Portfolio hedge against inflation, gold outperforms most asset classes during these economic conditions
Price risen 25% since March 2020 ($US1,451/oz to $US$1,824/oz)
