Equity Bottom-Up

Fed rate hike worries have created an opportunity to buy gold miners at a discount. The market is rightly concerned about the impact of higher rates on investor demand for gold. But a narrow focus on investor demand overstates its importance to gold's long-term outlook.&nbsp;The next decade will see a profound shift in gold's nature: from a "financial" commodity to a "consumer" commodity. The massive investment flows into (and out of) gold in the past several years temporarily concealed this development, but going forward, consumer spending will be too great to mask any longer.&nbsp;Even in the face of weak investor demand, we forecast a 4.7% CAGR in total physical gold demand over the next five years, led by Chinese and Indian jewelry buyers. We expect jewelry to account for two thirds of gold demand by 2020, up from a 50% share in the past five years. We see the share of gold purchases by central banks and ETFs dwindling below 5%.&nbsp;Gold supply growth must accelerate, but mine projects in development would be insufficient to meet demand. To avert a shortfall, we estimate an additional 200 tonnes of annual mine supply would be required by 2020, equivalent to about 5% of global mine production.&nbsp;A prospective supply shortfall is bullish for gold prices, but significant mine cost deflation diminishes the upside. We forecast a gold price of $1,300 per ounce on a nominal basis by 2020, or roughly $1,160 in constant 2015 dollars.&nbsp;Gold miners are cheap. Equity market valuations appear to reflect expectations of sub-$1,000 real gold prices in the long run, well below our long-term forecast.&nbsp;Analysts: Kristoffer Inton, Daniel Rohr, CFA &amp; Mathew Hodge, CFA
