“Grit, determination and perseverance. I’m not a flavour-of-the-day type of guy. I come from a family farming background in the commodity space. I’ve had the same business partner here at Auspice since we traded together at Shell in 2000, so that’s 23-plus years." ... "It’s all about looking at things in a longer-term perspective, getting away from the fads, looking at the long-term needs of investors and what we see as the opportunity."

CID ARTICLE ON TECH BOOM We are delighted to include an article in the May issue on the implications of the technology boom for commodity prices. The article is by Tim Pickering of Auspice Capital Advisors and is available here: https://lnkd.in/gw-n4B5W.

This month's Auspice Blog is an important read. The number of wars and global conflicts are at the highest levels since WWII. For people under 80 - a large majority of the world's population - we have never lived in a world with so many different conflicts between countries and amongst non state groups such as terrorists’ cells and drugs cartels.

The 1970s bull market experienced a 3-year correction, the 1980s bull market experienced a 2-year correction, and the early 2000s bull market experienced two 12+ month corrections. It has been 18 months since the Russia/Ukraine highs in the benchmark Goldman Sachs (GSCI TR) Commodity Index. As history shows, consolidations and corrections within a longer term cycle are typical. Notably, returns in this cycle remain a fraction of previous, and little has changed to address structural commodity supply shortages in our opinion. As per Goldman Sachs Asset Management 2024 outlook, "We recommend going long commodities in 2024, as we expect somewhat higher spot commodity prices, strong carry, and see hedging value against geopolitical supply disruptions. We forecast a 21% GSCI 12M total return.” https://lnkd.in/gp3n9-tV As per TD's 2024 outlook, "There is no shortage of risks and opportunities for us to frame for the year ahead. Deglobalization, climate and a commodities super-cycle...". "Overall, we are constructive on commodities over the next seven to ten year horizon." https://lnkd.in/gaD7WWea We agree. More on this from Auspice Capital Advisors coming soon.
