Oreninc Index Avoids 16-Week Low

The Oreninc Index stayed flat, narrowly avoiding a 16-week low for the week ending July 16, 2015. Total dollars announced continued to fall ending at $35.8m, a 16-week low. No brokered deals were announced for the second time in two weeks; no bought deals were announced for the sixth time in eight weeks.

The natural resource market continues to take a beating from all sides. The recent fall in chinese equities has done the industry no favors as metals were sold in order fund margin calls. Additionally, on Friday, gold fell to a five-year low.

At this point, the fundraising markets have pretty well dried up. Hopefully a few companies have raised enough for summer programs and will have exciting results come fall.

Oreninc Index Drops to 15-Week Low

The Oreninc Index dropped to a 15-week low for the week ending July 9, 2015. Total dollars announced fell to $41.8m, an 11-week low. No brokered deals were announced for the first time in 26 weeks; No bought deals were announced for the fifth time in seven weeks.

The most notable deal of the week was the announcement that Fission Uranium Corp. (TSX:FCU) and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX:DML) would merge to create a new company called Denison Energy Corp. worth around $900m. Gold stayed down for the week, falling slightly. Iron ore had an up and down week, but ended higher on news that the Chinese government would take regulatory measures to attempt to stymie the fall of Chinese markets.

While the spring months can be looked back on as a relatively positive financing season, we have clearly entered the the summer lull now that we have fully entered July.

Oreninc Index Stays Afloat during Holiday-Shortened Week

The Oreninc Index stayed afloat during the holiday-shortened week ending July 2, 2015. Total dollars increased to $110.4m, a four-week high. Two brokered financings were announced for $30.9m, a two-week high; no bought deal financings were announced for the fourth time in six weeks. 

The main deal-making news of the week included reports of “serious talks” between X2 Resources and Rio Tinto plc (NYSE:RIO) regarding X2’s interest to acquire some of Rio’s Australian coal assets. The deal, said to still be in the early stages, would be worth multiple billions of dollars. Gold was down on the week, reaching the lowest level seen since March. Iron ore and copper were also down for the week.

The strong financing numbers were a welcomed surprise considering the holiday-shortened week.

It appears that the yearly slowdown that the official start of summer brings may finally be upon us.
