Commenting on the
markets, Tom Holl and Mark Hume, representing the Investment
Manager noted:
The
Company’s NAV (Net Asset Value) had declined by 3.8% in June (in
GBP terms).
Economic data in
June showed signs of decelerating global growth and easing
inflation. This led the European Central Bank to cut rates for the
first time since the start of the pandemic, whereas the Bank of
England and Federal Reserve left rates unchanged. Elsewhere, there
was increased political uncertainty as President Emmanuel Macron
called for snap elections in France, leading to volatility amongst
French stocks. US interest rate expectations declined modestly,
with the US 5-year yield falling from 4.5% to 4.3% which supported
the performance of growth sectors such as technology over value
sectors like mining and traditional energy.
Within
traditional energy, oil prices ended the period higher, recovering
from May’s decline, but this masked notable volatility during the
month with the Brent oil price down by 5% to $75 at the low point.
At the start of the month, OPEC announced an intention to add back
oil production later in the year, with oil demand expected to
continue to rise and this was initially taken negatively by the
market. The Brent oil price rose by 9.9%, whilst WTI rose by 6.2%,
ending the month at $87/bbl and $82/bbl respectively. The US Henry
Hub natural gas price rose by 0.8% during the month to end at
$2.60/mmbtu.
Within the mining
sector, most mined commodity prices posted declines through June,
with iron ore (62% fe), copper and gold prices falling by 10.9%,
8.9% and 1.3% respectively. Economic data from China was weak with
its manufacturing PMI below 50 indicating contraction, whilst
average house prices recorded the largest year-on-year decline
since 2015.
Within the energy
transition theme, sentiment around renewables weakened during the
month impacting the share prices of both clean power utility
companies and renewable energy technology companies. Meanwhile,
Bloomberg NEF’s Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook indicated that
rapidly falling battery prices, advancements in next-generation
battery technology and improving economics of Electric Vehicles
(EVs) continue to underpin long-term EV growth globally.
All
data points in US dollar terms unless otherwise specified.
