Commodities Up, Miners Down: Olive Opens Its Liquid Book in a Risk-Off Market - Article

Commodities rose in September, but resource-linked equities fell due to a stronger US dollar, rising bond yields, and Fed hike expectations. Olive Resource Capital (TSXV:OC) outperformed indices, holding 10% cash and planning gradual deployment. Its liquid book includes Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN), Ero Copper (TSX:ERO), K92 Mining (TSX:KNT), and others. Kinross Gold (TSX:K) invested in Aquitaine Metals, reflecting a trend of producers backing juniors earlier.
