Metals tipped to shine in 2007
Commodities have soared for five years, but you may have to tread more carefully in 2007. Philip Scott offers some advice


COMMODITIES shone bright in 2006, posting their fifth year of gains, and many analysts expect the bull run to continue as demand from emerging economies, such as China, drives prices higher. But investors will need to be more picky about which commodities they back.
Zinc took the top spot among the metals in 2006, with a gain of 137%, followed by copper at 83% and nickel up 65%, according to Barclays Capital, the investment bank.



Agricultural commodities also posted strong gains as scorching summer temperatures and growing demand for biofuels pushed prices higher. Orange juice finished the year at a 10-year high, corn soared more than 80% and soybean commodities were up 140% Funds investing in companies that mine commodities, such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, have also boomed. The average investment trust in the sector has surged 33% over 12 months and 380% over five years.

After this strong run, some advisers say investors should not expect such a good year in 2007. The global economy is expected to slow, led by the US, meaning demand for some commodities is likely to drop.

Copper, one of last year's star performers, has already had a tricky start to the year. It fell below $6,000 a tonne for the first time in nine months last week, and is down 10% since January 1.

Oil also fell sharply, with prices in London and New York dropping below $56 a barrel for the first time since 2005.

But even if the next 12 months are not as spectacular as 2006, many analysts think double-digit returns are still on the cards. Kevin Norrish at Barclays Capital said: "We expect 2007 to be another strong one for commodity prices. Nevertheless, overall percentage gains are unlikely to match those made in 2006."

Barclays Capital expects zinc and nickel to post the biggest price gains. Stocks of both metals are low, so demand is likely to outstrip supply.

Other strategists predict some of the less well-known commodities will be winners in 2007. Ian Henderson at JP Morgan Asset Management favours platinum. Although its price has already shot up, doubling in the past five years to about $1,130 an ounce, he expects excellent returns.

Platinum is used in catalytic converters, which are fitted to all new cars across the developed world to reduce toxic emissions. US legislation, which came into force on January 1, means they will be installed in all new trucks in America as well.

Leading platinum producers listed on the London stock market include Lonmin and Aquarius Platinum.

Uranium, needed for nuclear power, is also hotly tipped. As with most commodities, China will be one of the main sources of demand. It has nine nuclear reactors, and another six will soon be up and running.

Some of the agricultural commodities, or softs, are also expected to have a good year. Corn is in high demand because of its use in the production of ethanol, an alternative fuel. In Brazil half of all cars run on ethanol.

The British government wants 5% of all fuel sales to be biofuels by 2010 - a twentyfold increase on today's levels.

Cotton is also being tipped because China is importing large amounts for its burgeoning textile industry.

The commodity market is not for the faint-hearted. It should account for only a small portion of your portfolio - about 5% - because the risks are high.

The easiest way to get exposure to the market is through a fund. Mark Dampier of Hargreaves Lansdown, an adviser, recommends First State Global Resources, JP Morgan Natural Resources and the Blackrock Merrill Lynch Gold & General fund. Commodity investment trusts include Merrill Lynch Commodities and Merrill Lynch World Mining.

Exchange-traded funds can give you exposure to individual commodities. Etfsecurities.com offers a number of commodity-based products including corn, cotton, nickel and zinc funds. There is no platinum-based ETF, but there are rumours one is about to be launched. The best way to tap into uranium is to buy Urasia Energy, listed in London.

Yikyak,

Exactly up another 6.73% to to AU$1.11 last night hitting AU$1.14 ie plus 9.61% from previous AU$1.04 close



It appears ASX is the place to make serious money in mining, Oil and Gas and Agriculture which is presumably why Perth Western Australia has one in four Sterling Millionaires ie Net Assets Per Person above AU$2,500,000 and the Standard of Living is vastly above the United Kingdom.

Notice the AU 2 cents spread ie 0.80p worst case ie 1.80% spread.

Uranex NL is the tip of the Iceberg IMHO!

Anyone sensible gave up on AIM years ago!

Afterall in trading and investing the Reward for a trader or investor is a direct multiple of the entry cost ie spread, brokerage, etc ie the Risk into the trade or investment.

ASX appears a highly efficient liquid market unlike dare I say it AIM!

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Cheers

The co. is presenting to investors and brokers this week. The share price is still on the slide from the the start of April. Have bought a few on the strength of the china story and management.

Charlie,

Yes certainly will help investor sentiment when you consider the amount of Uranium China will need to supply so many Uranium Plants once built and operating.

UNX has hit AU$0.72 intraday per bigcharts looks like this may well clear the AU$0.65 Resistance level next week.

Obviously continuing news of high grade Uranium drilling from Tanzania will help.

I notice the UNX price move has not yet been fully reflected in ASX:GDM Prices yet.

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Cheers

Ash:)
