Key Takeaways:

• Gold range-bound near $3,300/oz, with catalysts like Fed turmoil and global risks boosting safe- haven demand

• Gold miners surged in August on strong earnings and capital discipline

• Signs of a sector re-rating suggest gold equities may be entering a new bull cycle

Policy Whiplash, Golden Calm

Gold continues to be supported by heightened uncertainty and volatility stemming from persistent global geopolitical and trade tensions and mixed economic signals. In August, gold itself became entangled in the trade-tariff chaos when news reports suggested that the U.S. had imposed tariffs on 1-kilogram and 100-ounce bars of gold1. The White House and President Trump later reassured markets that gold will not be subject to tariffs2. TACO, indeed! The gold tariff fiasco exemplifies the confusing policy environment in the U.S., with markets trying to re-interpret and price in rapidly changing (and conflicting) information daily.

Gold Holds the Line

The gold price has been range-bound around the $3,300 per ounce level following its strong rally post “liberation” day in April3. This sideways action does not surprise us. In recent years, after significant moves to new highs, the gold price tends to consolidate around a new, higher base before the next catalyst emerges that drives it to the next level. While there are plenty of potential catalysts at present, the timing is impossible to predict, but anything that threatens the stability of the global financial system could lead to a surge in safe-haven demand for gold.

From Tariff Talk to Rally Walk

We had a taste of what some of those catalysts may look like on August 20, when President Trump called for the resignation of – and days later announced he had fired – U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Governor Lisa Cook4. This escalation in assaults on the Fed by the current administration raised fears that the Fed could lose its independence, threatening the stability and credibility of the world’s most important central bank. Gold rallied in response, also supported by increased probabilities of a Fed cut in September and a weaker dollar, closing at $3,447.95 per ounce on August 29, a $158.02 (4.80%) gain for the month5.

As of 31 August, gold was up 78% over the past five years (31 August 2020 – 31 August 2025). Investors should keep in mind that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and that investment in gold is subject to risks, including volatility, the risk of investing in natural resources, and the possible loss of principal. Investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Returns on this investment may increase or decrease as a result of USD/EUR currency movements.

Calm Metal, Hot Miners

The NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDMNTR) (“GDM”) was up a whopping 21.73% during the month6, while the mid-tier and small cap index, MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners (MVGDXJTR), was up 23.35%7. The gold price increase led to an amplified gain for the gold equities, as expected, reflecting their leverage to the metal price. However, the substantial outperformance suggests other factors, beyond the gold price, supported gold mining shares in August. We believe a key driver was a very strong Q2 2025 earnings season: companies generally reported financial and operating results that met or exceeded expectations, with many companies reporting record revenues and free cash flow. Most companies maintained their yearly guidance, and many larger players reiterated their commitment to higher shareholder returns via dividend payments and share buybacks. Investors seemed reassured that higher gold prices are indeed translating into higher margins, higher profitability, lower debt and enhanced growth prospects for the industry. And while August was not a bad month for broader equities, helped by mega-cap tech dominance and optimistic rate-cut speculation, the S&P 500® Index’s monthly increase of approximately 2%8 paled in comparison to the gold miners’ advance. Richly valued U.S. equities, concerns that growth of mega-cap stocks may be fading and high concentration in AI/tech stocks may also be driving portfolio diversification and rotation of capital that is benefiting gold stocks.

Miners Find Their Mojo

After almost two decades of persistent de-rating, could gold equities finally be getting their mojo back? Our data seems to suggest that it could be the case. We have been tracking the relationship between gold bullion and gold equities (GDM) since 2001 (see chart below) and have identified six clear (strong) trends, indicating a significant and prolonged de-rating of the gold mining sector since 2007. A de-rating occurs when a trendline shifts to the right and/or downward. De-ratings in the past were the result of companies consistently disappointing investors. Examples include massively out- of-the-money hedge books in the 2000’s; over indebtedness and low returns on capital in the 2010’s; and missing production and cost targets in the early 2020’s. Now investors are seeing expanding margins, low debt, capital-allocation discipline, and companies doing what they said they would do this year. While it is too early to tell if a new valuation trend is forming, August data is encouraging and may signal the beginning of a new bull cycle for gold mining stocks. For reference, the bull- market trend of 2001-2007 would imply a GDM value of approximately 6,000 at today’s spot gold price, compared to its present value of around 1,800. A return of those historical sector multiples may seem unrealistic and it’s not part of our outlook, but a significant re-rating of the sector is in the cards, in our view. Investors must keep in mind that past performance is not indicative of future results.

As mentioned above, the chart below maps gold prices against the GDM since 2001, highlighting the six trends—and a potential re-rating with a steeper “new trend” emerging since mid-August 2025.

Invesco: Gold signals a shifting world order without a new leader

Publicerad

den

The United States remains economically and financially dominant, but beneath the surface doubts are growing about how sustainable that position really is. According to Benjamin Jones, head of research at Invesco, the continued rise in gold suggests that investors are preparing for a world in which the balance of power is shifting, without any clear alternative leader emerging.

The United States remains economically and financially dominant, but beneath the surface doubts are growing about how sustainable that position really is. According to Benjamin Jones, head of research at Invesco, the continued rise in gold suggests that investors are preparing for a world in which the balance of power is shifting, without any clear alternative leader emerging.

The US twin deficits

The joint, pre-2025 rally in US risk assets and the dollar sits uneasily with concerns over US fiscal and current-account deficits, a deteriorating Net International Investment Position (NIIP), reindustrialisation goals, and the secular rise in gold, explains Jones.

“In our view, the long-running rally in gold alongside high returns and rising concentration in dollar assets reflects two forces: a faltering world order and the economics of heavy US fiscal imbalances, rising external obligations, and persistent deficits; but also, the unique success of US firms in driving GDP growth, earnings and innovation. Ironically, that strength may itself increase the risk of a financial, currency or balance-of-payments shock in a geopolitical crisis.”

According to Jones, the sharp drop in the US NIIP has come as foreign claims outstrip US claims abroad. “This was driven less by foreign Treasury holdings, which have stabilised, and more by inflows into private-sector assets, especially equities, as investors embraced “US Exceptionalism” as shorthand for superior growth and financial performance relative to peers such as Western Europe and Japan. The result has been major inflows into US equities, corporate debt and private markets.”

Even though much of the increase in exposure has been to risk assets rather than bonds, large outflows could still threaten fiscal and financial stability, says Jones. “For now, trade barriers and efforts to weaken the dollar to promote reindustrialisation have prompted rebalancing away from US stocks, bonds and the dollar. Amid geopolitical tensions, weaker fiscal and external positions, and renewed protectionism and unpredictability, official investors and private investors have sharply increased gold purchases as a store of value.”

Heavy gold flow in financial markets

US financial leadership persists despite geoeconomic rebalancing toward rivals, Jones continues. “The US still leads in market capitalisation, turnover and liquidity, while the Treasury market remains the largest and deepest pool of debt issuance. Dollar liquidity is so high that trades <<between other currencies are often executed through the dollar. Global portfolio concentration in the US has also been reinforced by inflows into benchmarked funds and passive trackers. The core driver remains US exceptionalism. Rich valuations and concentration in US tech may suggest a bubble, yet US firms have continued to deliver innovation, market share, revenue and earnings growth.”

According to Jones, rivals remain less compelling from a market perspective. “Europe has lagged the US since the financial crisis, while China has matched or surpassed US innovation but, until recently, delivered weaker market returns due to domestic de-risking policies.”

The US share of official reserves has declined somewhat, while the euro and most other currencies have levelled off, Jones continues. “Gold’s share has risen sharply since the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022, suggesting the TINA problem persists: there is no real alternative to the dollar other than gold itself. Central banks increasingly prefer the safety of gold, the liability of no government.”

Future: Geopolitical, economic, technological and military competition
An open world economy helped many countries narrow productivity gaps with the US, but leadership is no longer aligned across power domains. “Economically, the world is increasingly tripolar, centred on the US, China and the eurozone. Militarily, power is concentrated in the US, China and Russia. Technologically, the US and China are at or near parity, while others lag. Financially, however, the US still has no peer,” notes Jones.

He continues: “Conventional economic, military and technological competition therefore still matters, even in a nuclear world. US concerns about overextension are sharpened by China’s vast industrial capacity, with output and shipbuilding far exceeding that of the US. Recent wars have shown that modern conflict still depends on industrial mobilisation for technology, drones and ammunition. This helps explain the US push for reindustrialisation.”

At the same time, US fiscal and external obligations create vulnerabilities if confidence were shaken by a future crisis, conflict or major shock. Jones concludes: “Washington is also retreating from parts of the multilateral order while seeking to reshape global trade more in its favour, reinforcing perceptions of unilateralism. Gold may be signaling an incomplete global reordering: not a clear new polarity, but an “unipolar” world in which leadership shifts by issue, region and moment. The US and the dollar would still likely remain first among equals, supported by deep financial markets, technological dynamism and strategic advantages, even as rival powers continue to rise.”

Anslut dig till kvantrevolutionen med Lunates nya ETF på Xetra

Publicerad

den

Kvantdatorteknik transformerar alla sorters industrier från hälso- och sjukvård till cybersäkerhet, och Boreas kliver fram som en nyckelspelare. Lunate Capitals Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing UCITS ETF på Xetra erbjuder investerare en diversifierad exponering mot ledande globala kvantteknologibolag.

Kvantdatorteknik håller snabbt på att gå från forskningslabb till verkliga tillämpningar – och investerare får nu ett nytt sätt att ta del av utvecklingen. Med lanseringen av Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (QQCC) Xetra öppnas dörren till ett av de mest transformativa teknikområdena i modern tid.

En ny era inom datorkraft

Till skillnad från traditionella datorer, som bearbetar information steg för steg, kan kvantdatorer analysera många möjliga lösningar samtidigt. Resultatet är en exponentiell ökning i beräkningskraft – med potential att lösa problem som idag är praktiskt taget omöjliga.

Enligt uppskattningar kan kvantteknologi skapa upp till 2 biljoner (eng: trillions) dollar i ekonomiskt värde fram till 2035.

Tekniken väntas få särskilt stor påverkan inom områden som:

Läkemedelsutveckling – snabbare simulering av proteinveckning och sjukdomar

Materialvetenskap – utveckling av starkare och lättare material

Finans – förbättrad riskhantering och portföljoptimering

Stark tillväxt och ökade investeringar

Kvantindustrin befinner sig i ett tydligt tillväxtskede. Under 2024 investerades omkring 2 miljarder dollar i kvantstartups globalt, samtidigt som statliga satsningar överstiger 50 miljarder dollar totalt. Både USA och Kina har uttryckt kvantmekanik som särskilt viktigt och prioriterat område och stora satsningar har tillkännagivits under 2025 och 2026.

Samtidigt växer marknaden snabbt, med ökande patentaktivitet och stora samarbeten mellan teknikbolag och investerare. Regionen Mellanöstern, särskilt UAE och Saudiarabien, positionerar sig också som en viktig hub för kvantutveckling.

ETF ger bred exponering mot kvanttemat

Den nya ETF:en, Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (QQCC), är utformad för att ge investerare diversifierad exponering mot cirka 25 ledande bolag inom kvantteknologi.

Indexet omfattar hela värdekedjan, inklusive:

• Hårdvara för kvantdatorer

• Mjukvara och algoritmer

• Kvantkommunikation och cybersäkerhet

Portföljen kombinerar globala teknikledare med mycket forskning och utveckling inom kvantum såsom IBM och Google, med mer nischade, snabbväxande bolag som IonQ, Rigetti och D-Wave.

Skillnader mot andra liknande ETFer

I enlighet med Boreas devis om att vara ”true to theme” i sin ETF-design fokuserar fonden på att enbart inkludera de bolag som är absolut mest relevanta mot utvecklingen av framförallt Quantum Computing hårdvara så som mikrochip (QPU’s). Portföljen är framtagen med hjälp av Solactives natural language processing verktyg ARTIS och vikterna i portföljen är enligt varje bolags relevans mot temat.

Fonden rebalanseras två gånger om året vilket möjliggör att snabbt snappa upp nykomlingar och bolag som snabbt gör framsteg inom temat. Med hjälp av ARTIS-verktyget kan på så sätt relevanta bolag snabbt få ökad vikt och mindre framgångsrika bolag få mindre.

Andra liknande fonder fokuserar ofta på bolag med mest patent inom kvantum. Detta kan leda till att bolag som främst använder kvantum hamnar i de portföljerna, medans Boreas fond fokuserar på de bolag som leder utvecklingen inom kvantumteknologin. Många av bolagen konkurrerar om att bli ”nästa NVIDIA” och leda en ny generations mikrochip.

Med en total kostnad (TER) på 0,49 % erbjuder fonden ett konkurrenskraftigt sätt att få exponering mot ett komplext och snabbt utvecklande tema.

Ett tema för långsiktiga investerare

Kvantteknologi ses i allt större utsträckning som en strategisk nyckelindustri, inte minst i takt med diskussionen om “Q-Day” – den punkt då kvantdatorer kan bryta dagens krypteringssystem.

För investerare innebär detta både risker och möjligheter. Som tematisk investering är ETFen särskilt lämpad som ett komplement – en så kallad satellitallokering – till bredare aktieportföljer. Trots att forskningen inom kvantdatorer har pågått i över 45 år är det en teknologi i tidigt skede där en klar vinnare ännu inte korats. Det gör temat volatilt och extra känsligt för positiva såväl som negativa nyheter.

Slutsats

Med lanseringen på Xetra blir kvantinvesteringar nu mer tillgängliga för europeiska investerare. För den som vill positionera sig inför nästa stora teknologiska skifte erbjuder Boreas kvant-ETF en enkel väg in i ett område som kan definiera framtidens ekonomi.
