| 2025 Q3 | Oct 10, 2025 | INN8 | - | - | 0700.HK, AAL.L, AMZN, ANG.JO, BABA, BWO.JO, CUR.JO, GFI, GOOGL, IMP.JO, INTC, MCG.JO, META, MSFT, NVDA, ORCL, PRX.JO, TECK | AI, China, global, gold, inflation, rates, tariffs, technology | The euphoria towards artificial intelligence is creating speculative market dynamics where AI spending announcements instantly reward companies with massive market cap increases. Companies like Nvidia, Alibaba, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Oracle have seen their combined market capitalization boosted by about $1.8 trillion from AI investment pledges. While few companies show material returns on AI investments in their financials, investors continue piling into shares of companies spending big on data centers to position themselves as AI leaders. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | INN8 | 0.0% | 0.0% | AMZN, AU, BRK-A, CSCO, GFI, GOOGL, HMY, IMPUY, MRP.JO, PIK.JO, SBSW, SHP.JO, SPP.JO, TFG.JO, TRU.JO, WHL.JO | AI, Defense Spending, diversification, Global Markets, gold, rates, Trade Policy | AI remained the dominant theme driving US equity markets with the S&P 500 up 17.8% and Nasdaq gaining 21%. The AI trade broadened beyond chips to include data center companies, with three of the S&P 500's top 10 performers being data storage companies. Investment in AI infrastructure is reaching unprecedented levels with trillions in spending, though questions remain about whether revenue can justify the massive capital deployment. President Trump's hardline tariff agenda became one of the most consequential stories of 2025, lifting average tariff rates to nearly 17% from less than 3% at the end of 2024. The tariffs generated roughly $30 billion monthly for the US Treasury and brought world leaders to Washington seeking trade deals. Despite multiple rounds of meetings, a final agreement with China remains incomplete, with China using its leverage in rare earth minerals to push back against further tariffs. Safe-haven gold gained 65% in 2025, its best annual gain since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of US rate cuts, strong central bank buying, and the de-dollarisation trend. Gold mining companies delivered massive returns with Gold Fields up 200%, AngloGold up 242%, Harmony up 124%, Sibanye up 313%, and Implats up 204%. European defense shares surged 56% driven by pledges of higher defense spending across Europe. Germany is expected to spend up to a trillion euros on defense and infrastructure, reflecting the broader commitment to increased military expenditure across the region. The Fed cut interest rates three times in 2025, lowering the benchmark rate to 3.5%-3.75% range as employment growth slowed and unemployment rose. However, new projections show only one rate cut expected this year with further cuts likely on hold until inflation falls or unemployment rises more than anticipated. | View | |
| 2024 Q2 | Jul 18, 2024 | Capicraft Investment Partners | 0.0% | 0.0% | GFI | emerging markets, gold, Hedging, inflation, real assets, South Africa, volatility | Goldfields adjusted production forecasts multiple times due to glitches from new South American mines and floods at Australian mines. The market heavily penalized the stock with each downward revision, sometimes falling 15% intraday on production guidance cuts. Capicraft benefited from buying during these immediate sell-offs as their expectations differed from market pricing. | View | |
| 2025 Q1 | Mar 31, 2025 | Distillate Capital International | 8.4% | 8.4% | 000660.KS, 1898.HK, 4063.T, ABEV, BABA, GFI, HEI.DE, HMY, HO.PA, JD, JD.L, NOVN.SW, P911.DE, ROG.SW, TFII, TSM | AI, international, Quality, tariffs, uncertainty, valuation | Announced tariffs of around 23% represent the largest trade shock in a century, potentially creating enormous inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty. The scale of potential tariff impact on GDP is unprecedented, with complex follow-on effects including potential retaliation, supply chain disruption, and business investment uncertainty. | View |
