Two Key Implications From Aussie Gold Stocks Underperformance -- Market Talk

0037 GMT - There are two key implications from the recent underperformance of Australian gold equities, says Bell Potter. One is that ASX gold stocks catch up strongly. The other is more inbound M&A. Analyst David Coates says the disconnect between ASX-listed gold producers and overseas companies is a significant departure from historic trading patterns. "Looking back, the only disconnect in the last 10 years is the two-way volatility (which quickly reverted) at the onset of the Covid pandemic," Bell Potter says. While ASX gold miners' FY 2026 production and cost guidance missed expectations, this was also a theme overseas. Bell Potter says other potential factors, including FX differentials or rising labor costs, also aren't a fundamental or sustainable justification for the stocks' underperformance.
