Q: It looks like Gold has broken out of $3500 level and Gold equities, rising for 3-4 weeks straight, might be due for a consolidation soon. Do you agree ?
We have a small 1% weight in the sector through AEM and wish to increase our exposure. Have we already missed the boat ?
Would it be worthwhile to wait for a consolidation and or just start adding at current levels.
If you believe, there could be consolidation due in the near term, what levels, you think, AEM could trade ?
Thank You

5i Research Answer:
Consolidation is 'probably' overdue but it is very difficult to call or time properly. We do not think the party is over. Gold reacts to interest rates and the US dollar, and moves in both should be positive for the sector. Momentum is good and central bank buying continues. Gold's role as 'insurance' is likely to continue. We would be comfortable at 5% to 10% exposure.
