We have had a position in Deterra Royalties (DRR) since 30th August 2021, and after collecting five dividends, we have decided to exit today. After trading ex-dividend recently, the share price has rallied from a low of $4.23 on the 29th Aug to currently trading at $4.75.
The recovery in the DRR share price is due to the increasing iron ore price and the falling AUD/USD exchange rate. With so much uncertainty about how the Chinese economy will perform and the demand for iron ore in the future, now is a good time to exit.

Even in the current environment of high inflation at 16.12% return each year is better than bank interest on fixed terms
