The bottlenecks in South Africa's export corridors – caused in large part by State-owned logistics company Transnet's inability to provide sufficient capacity – would likely undermine any opportunities that could arise from commodity supply shortages and higher prices as more sanctions are implemented against Russia, financial services provider Sanlam Investments equity analyst and fund manager Andrew Snowdowne told Engineering News on March 4. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, sanctions have now been imposed on Russia by the European Union, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and Japan, while certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project has been suspended by Germany. Prior to the invasion, Russia provided more than 10% of the global supply of palladium, natural gas, gold, oil and coal. Much of this will now need to be sourced elsewhere, with South Africa potentially in a position to fill the gap if it could only get product out of the country. “We're not in a position to necessarily take full advantage of the situation because of Transnet's infrastructure problems and inefficiencies. It's a very sad situation,” Snowdowne said. He noted that, for now, there was much speculation and little certainty owing to the rapidly changing situation in Ukraine. Although supply chains appeared to be relatively unaffected for the time being, he said it was definitely not “business as usual”. Snowdowne explained that geopolitical events typically impact commodity supply more than demand. Sanctions are not currently targeting commodity flows and, in Sanlam's view, are unlikely to do so directly, owing to the current power situation in Europe, the broader inflation backdrop and the market dislocation that followed 2018 sanctions on Russian aluminium producer Rusal. Nevertheless, Snowdowne said there was the potential for exports from Russia to be disrupted by either indirect effects or by Russia's own choice to restrict exports. He said that recent history of geopolitical events suggested that the effects on markets are unlikely to be persistent because they do not change the underlying economic realities. Snowdowne said this may well be the case again, but the potential for a significant negative commodities supply shock creates the risk that “this time it's different”, and that prices might rise sharply to reflect a risk premium. “This should of course be very bullish for commodity prices, against a backdrop of broadly tight supply-demand balances. However, one should be cognisant that the follow-on impact of dramatic cost-push price inflation, is demand destruction,” he noted. Snowdowne said a marked intensification of an upward trend in commodity prices had occurred over the past six weeks, as persistent physical demand was reinforced by investors searching for inflationary hedges. “When played out against the background of lingering production disruptions due to Covid-19, supply chain dislocations and limited supply growth, the result has been a powerful uplift for commodities as an asset class,” he said. POSITIVE DRIVERS Beyond geopolitical factors, Snowdowne noted that there were several positive drivers for commodities. The first of these was general under-investment. He said that a period of substantial over-investment and poor capital allocation between 2007 and 2011 was followed by lower capital expenditure and increased shareholder distributions. Moreover, the cost of capital is now also higher owing to environmental, social and governance concerns. The second driver was demand recovery post Covid-19. “We expect the impact of an end of destocking and significant restock to drive demand for many commodities to levels higher than many expect – most notably in the platinum group metals as the semi-conductor shortage in the automotive sector continues to normalise,” Snowdowne said. Thirdly, commodities have historically been an effective hedge against inflation, although many surveys suggest investor alloca...

COVID-19 has not only brought the financial challenges facing the world to the forefront of everyone's minds, but has shed a particular lens to the dire situation many African economies and companies face. Already we have seen high debt levels, now exacerbated by commodity price declines, currency woes and investor flight to safe haven assets; Africa perhaps faces a credit crisis of epic proportions. In the first instalment, Invest Africa Insight's ‘Africa's Funding Conundrum?' webinar series provided the view from the international investment community. In this webinar we will continue the conversation but feature industry leaders from African institutions on how they will address the financing requirements, liquidity support and credit available to the continent. Globally we see central banks and governments alike flooding their economies with unprecedented levels of support and stimulus; will Africa benefit or be left to its own designs? Thank you to to our moderator, Sanjeev Gupta, Executive Director, Africa Finance Corporation and to our panellists: Edward Marlow, Managing Director, Global Markets, Credit Suisse, Lesley Ndlovu, CEO, African Risk Capacity, Mervyn Shanmugam, CEO Alternatives, Sanlam Investments and Anita Yadav, Partner, Aspire Cap and Founding Board Member of The Gulf Bond and Sukuk Association.
