Monday, May 20, 12:57 PM As precious metals prices turn around, share prices of gold (GDX +4.7%) and silver miners (SIL +3.1%) surge: ABX +5.9%, GG +4.5%, KGC +6.4%, NEM +4.7%, SLW +4%. Even South African producers turn mixed, despite the call from the country's mine workers union for big pay increases: AU -0.8%, GFI +1.5%, HMY -0.5%. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Monday, May 20, 8:12 AM Shares of South African miners sink as the country's mine workers union calls for a 60% pay increase on gold and coal producers. The union says it is seeking an entry-level minimum monthly wage of 7K rand ($750) for surface workers and 8K rand for underground workers vs. respective current minimum wages of 4.7K and 5K rand. AU -3.7%, GFI -3.4%, HMY -1.9% premarket. 2 Comments [Commodities]
Friday, May 17, 7:58 AM The head of a major South African mining union threatens to bring the country's economy "to a standstill" and demands a meeting with President Zuma, ramping up the rhetoric in a long and heated conflict between labor and the government. But a strike seems averted for at least another day, as top platinum producer Amplats (AGPPY.PK) says employees reported for today's shifts as normal. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
Friday, May 10, 8:17 AM More on Gold Fields' (GFI) Q1 results: Reports operating margin of 50% and NCE margin of 21%. Says it will cut 2013 spending on exploration to $80M from ~$130M in 2012, focusing on smaller, higher grade and less capital intensive projects. Shares -3.2% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, Earnings, On the Move]
Friday, May 10, 8:08 AM Gold Fields (GFI): Q1 EPS of $0.09 misses by $0.03. Gold production down 11% to 477K equivalent attributable oz. Shares -3.2% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Commodities, Breaking News, On the Move]
Thursday, May 9, 6:55 PM The plunge in gold prices significantly raises the stakes in talks between South Africa's gold mine operators and mine workers, set to kick off Friday when the country's mineworkers union will propose a double-digit pay raise. South African producers including Gold Fields (GFI), Harmony Gold (HMY) and AngloGold (AU) have already warned that cuts and a slowdown in exploration are on the way. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 8, 3:06 PM With gold bears running rampant, J.P. Morgan’s new forecast for gold (GLD) to finish strong and trade near $1,700 by year-end is noteworthy. Among miners likely to benefit, the firm's favorites include Gold Fields (GFI +1.6%), which is least exposed to South Africa, and Sibanye Gold (SBGL +9.8%), which has lots of South Africa exposure but warrants an upgrade to Outperform from Neutral after plunging 38% YTD. 6 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 7, 2:10 PM Some big moves in today’s options trading make it appear that investors are banking on another drop in the gold miners ETF (GDX -3%), already -36% YTD. Volume in GDX options is heaviest in the June $27 strike puts, where nearly 40K puts have traded vs. open interest of ~16K contracts. Big miners are broadly lower: HMY -5.5%, GFI -5.2%, AU -3.2%, ABX -3.1%, EGO -2.8%, NEM -2.2%, GG -2%. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Thursday, May 2, 12:28 PM Gold is up today but miners are mixed, as Goldcorp (GG -0.6%) and Randgold (GOLD +0.4%) miss estimates (I, II), and UBS downgrades Gold Fields (GFI -2.5%) to Neutral from Buy because it failed to identity any strong stock-specific catalysts. UBS also worries about the stability of GFI's dividend at current gold prices; if prices hold, the firm says it would need to cut earnings estimates by ~40%. 1 Comment [Commodities, Earnings, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Monday, April 29, 11:39 AM Gold miners (GDX) have been smacked by plunging gold prices, but Citigroup and HSBC think they have further to fall. Citi worries about AngloGold (AU) because negative free cash flow would hit its "already stretched balance sheet," but Harmony Gold (HMY) has the balance sheet to weather similar problems; Gold Fields (GFI) is its sector favorite. HSBC cuts GFI, Agnico Eagle (AEM) and many others. 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, April 24, 12:20 PM Investors in gold miners (GDX +3.5%) feel good - at least for a day - after Barrick Gold's (ABX +3.1%) Q1 efforts to cut costs show some success. ABX reduced its 2013 capex forecast to $5.2B-$5.7B, and said all-in sustaining costs are seen at $950-$1,050/oz., vs. a Feb. 14 forecast of $1,000-$1,100. HMY +8.4%, GFI +5.1%, GG +3.7%, NEM +3.6%, EGO +3.2%, AU +3%. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Monday, April 22, 12:33 PM Encouraged by the efforts of gold miners to be more transparent about costs, Andrew Bary of Barron’s over the weekend makes the case for owning beaten gold-mining stocks. The more accurate - i.e., higher - cost estimates aren’t just about trying to be more shareholder-friendly, they're about trying to avoid shakedowns by revenue-hungry emerging market governments. 10 Comments [Commodities]
Wednesday, April 17, 3:15 PM One of the stranger outcomes of gold's collapse is to make gold miners look more expensive, which Nomura says means more downside for the miners. "Lower levels of investment demand have the equilibrium point for the gold price at still lower levels. [If so], the equities should still have further to retrace." It's another down day for South African miners: HMY -5.6%, GOLD -4.5%, AU -4%, GFI -1.2%. (also) 6 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 17, 10:09 AM Perhaps Wall Street analysts are starting to defend beaten-down gold miners, as Deutsche Bank upgrades South Africa's Gold Fields (GFI +2.6%) and AngloGold (AU +1.1%) to Buy from Hold. While the firm says the stocks look more expensive vs. spot gold (25x FY14 estimates), it believes the miners will now prioritize cost and capex cuts to protect free cash flow. 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 16, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: NWBO +9%. GFI +7%. BCRX +7%. HK +7%. AU +7%. NG +6%. AUQ +6%. SAND +6%. GOLD +5%. KGC +5%.
Losers: LDK -16%. SRPT -11%. 1 Comment [On the Move]
Tuesday, April 16, 8:24 AM Most of this morning's biggest premarket gappers come from yesterday's downtrodden mining losers: GFI +7.8%, AU +6.6%, GOLD +6.1%, KGC +4.8%, ABX +4.1%, AG +4%, HMY +3.2%, HL +3.1%, AUY +2.8%, EGO +2.6%, SLW +2.5%, RIO +2.3%, NEM +2%, MT +1.9%. ETFs: GDX +2.8%, SLV +2.8%, GLD +2.3%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
