⚡ Quantum Brief
BlackRock’s Evy Hambro warns gold failed as a portfolio hedge during recent market shocks, defying its traditional safe-haven role amid volatile price swings in precious metals. A "new energy risk premium" is emerging, driven by geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, pushing investors toward commodities as inflation and interest rate uncertainties persist. AI’s rapid expansion is fueling unprecedented demand for critical materials like copper and lithium, accelerating a potential multi-year commodities supercycle, according to Hambro’s analysis. Mining equities remain undervalued despite rising material demand, presenting opportunities as energy security concerns and decarbonization policies reshape global resource allocation strategies. Hambro advises investors to reassess commodity exposure, particularly in energy and industrial metals, while cautioning against overreliance on gold amid shifting macroeconomic and technological dynamics.
