MARKET COMMENTS

 The year 2022 has been an extremely challenging year for global investors as inflation accelerated in most western markets to multi-decade highs, which led both equity and bond markets to price in recession risks while central banks began to raise rates aggressively to slow inflation, and thus economic growth. And if recession concerns and runaway inflation were not enough to concern markets, the conflict in the Ukraine only exacerbated an already negative market sentiment. As a result of these factors, the S&P500 was down 25% in the first nine months of the year on a price basis, and the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (a broad market indicator of Canadian micro-cap securities in Canada) was down more than 36% over the same time period. Junior mining equities selected for the Marquest Mining Quebec 2021-II Super Flow-Through Limited Partnership are of a higher risk profile than those found in the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index, and therefore would have been more negatively impacted on average than the constituents of the Venture index. As capital exited equity markets, the junior mining space suffered outsized losses.

To date, uncertainty around the inflation outlook and global geopolitical risks continues to generate high market volatility; however, progress has been made in addressing the challenges that have followed the pandemic — namely reducing high inflation and unwinding policy accommodation. Inflation has begun to ease in certain areas of the global economy, and interest rates have begun to adjust to more normalized levels. With the accelerated path central bank policy rates have taken, global economic growth appears to have slowed sufficiently enough to begin to work its way into 40-year high inflation levels. And while a moderate recession is still quite possible, the sharp decline in equity markets this year appears to be overdone and has likely reached an inflection point. Thus, the equity market selloff has been mostly factored into risks to company earnings. Accordingly, the outlook for equities for the remainder of this year and into 2023 has become more balanced and a strong argument now exists for increasing portfolio allocations to equity markets, specifically the junior mining sector that is very well positioned for outsized growth.

Lastly, in periods of market weakness where there were serious concerns around recession risks, they have commonly been followed by strong rebounds in equity prices, with the S&P500 up typically more than 20% in the following year when consumer sentiment is at its lowest point in the cycle. With Consumer Sentiment now at 59.8 (levels similar to the 2008-2009 financial crisis), one would expect equities to perform much better into the next year if historical patterns are to repeat. And again, the junior mining sector would be set to outperform the S&P500 in such a scenario, which now appears to be more likely as inflation abates, growth returns, and rates reset at more normalized levels.
