Newcrest Mining, Evolution Mining and Saracen Mineral Holdings are among the Australian-listed gold producers to have reported a sharp rise in US-based shareholders over the last 12 months. Resolute Mining MD John Welborn says US investors have shown more interest in Australian gold stocks than usual at the 2016 Denver Gold Forum. Metals X CEO Peter Cook warns that Australian gold producers’ shares are likely to be heavily sold down when offshore investors eventually rebalance their portfolios.

Insurance Australia Group (IAG) shares rallied on 16 June 2015 in response to a deal for US investment guru Warren Buffett to acquire a 3.7 per cent stake in the general insurer for $A500m. As part of the deal, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway will be paid 20 per cent of IAG’s annual revenue for the next decade, which will be reinvested in a number of large Australian-listed companies. Buffett has indicated that bank stocks may be included in the portfolio.
