[Snapshot]:
State of the Market: Mining Q2-2017

By: Dr. Chris Hinde | 17 August 2017


The following research article is an excerpt of the Q2-17 State of the Market: Mining report, a detailed analysis of mining industry developments that includes expert commentary from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Highlights from the latest edition are below: 

The market capitalization of the nearly 2,500 listed mining companies recorded by S&P Global Market Intelligence fell in the June quarter for the first time since the industry's end-2015 nadir. Nevertheless, at US$1,250 billion, the global equity valuation is now back to where it was two years ago and up 43% since the December quarter of 2015.

The recent hiatus in equity values, after last year's recovery from the bear market of 2011 through 2015, coincides with a lackluster period for metals prices. There was, however, a marked improvement at the end of the June quarter, and our index of eight metals prices reached its highest value since the September 2014 quarter. Ignoring this year's "traditional" summer slowdown, copper prices have surged higher, reaching US$6,515/t on August 9, a level last seen in December 2014.
