Update On The PICK ETF: The Case For Higher Base Metal Producer Shares

iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF has surged over 26% since May 2025, outperforming the base metals composite. PICK benefits from strong Q3 and year-to-date gains in copper, aluminum, tin, and other base metals, reflecting robust sector fundamentals. The ETF offers leveraged upside to base metals, supported by structural copper deficits, Chinese demand, and global energy transition trends.

PICK: A Metals And Mining ETF Without Gold And Silver

The iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF provides diversified exposure to global metals and mining producers, excluding gold, silver, and uranium. PICK is more value-oriented and less volatile than XME but has underperformed due to currency headwinds and lack of precious metals exposure. PICK is suitable for investors seeking metals and mining exposure without gold and silver, especially if they already hold precious metals elsewhere.

PICK: Short Term Turbulence Offsetting Long Term Outlook

iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF offers diversified exposure to global metals and mining, benefiting from long-term trends in clean energy and infrastructure demand. The short-term outlook for key metals like copper, iron, and aluminum is negative due to weak commodity prices and China's slowdown, justifying a 'hold' rating. PICK stands out for its lower expense ratio, higher dividend yield, and broader diversification compared to peers, but lacks exposure to surging gold and silver.

PICK: Soft Dollar And Other Macro Tailwinds Keep Me Bullish

I reiterate my buy rating on iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF, supported by attractive valuation, high EPS growth, and a compelling PEG ratio under 1.0x. A falling dollar and international exposure provide macro tailwinds, with metals and mining stocks benefiting from currency translation and global demand. Technical indicators, including a golden cross and a bullish reverse head and shoulders pattern, suggest near-term upside potential for PICK toward a $47 price target.

PICK: Amid Tariffs, A Macro Tide Shift Favors This Resource-Focused Fund (Rating Upgrade)

I upgrade iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF to a buy due to favorable macro shifts, low valuation, and bullish technical patterns. PICK's portfolio focuses on large-cap value stocks in diversified metals and mining, with BHP Group as the largest holding.

An Update On The PICK ETF With U.S. Tariffs On Steel And Aluminum

The PICK ETF is favored for its diversified exposure to base metals, despite short-term bearish trends, with potential for gains as the sector recovers. Tariffs and sanctions, particularly from the Trump administration, could distort metal prices, but Chinese demand remains the critical factor for price direction.
