#Gold #SP500 Despite Mr Musk leading the initiative to getting everyone back into the office and visibly working under the lash of whip wielding “team leaders” etc, there’s another reality which isn’t being given sufficient credence and it relates to how banks treat assets. It used to be the case where banks would treat ownership of office blocks and towers as solid, safe, assets, the safest gauge by which they’d judge the net worth of clients. Times have changed dramatically since 2020 and now, office blocks and to a lesser degree, retail rental property, are now longer being treated as “money in the bank”.
IWG Plc, known for providing serviced offices under several trading names, perhaps are hanging the reason for their existence on a shaky hook but their share price has recently, quite exuberantly, broke through the downtrend since 2020, showing some early signs for price recovery. We’re fairly comfortable with an initial scenario which suggests movement next above 202p should bring recovery to an initial 209p. This would make a lot of visual sense, challenging the highs of 2024.
Our longer term secondary (or later that day!) calculates at 216p but our inclination is not to trust any rise until such time the share price actually closes above 209p.
An event such as this opens the door to significant Big Picture performance, calculating as placing the share price in a region where ongoing traffic to a future 286p works out as very possible, perhaps hinting at offices throughout the world packed full of happy folk returning to cubicles with artificial scent hiding the smell of freedom and a litany of problems logging into servers, thanks to IT departments overwhelmed with the concept of returning to business as usual. Amusingly, a chum already involved in such a scenario, recently moved house and a key component of his new property was the ability to emplace and cool a bank of servers. The last few years proved conclusively he functioned best, when controlling corporate systems from home, rather than the 3rd world portacabins assigned to IT. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that one of Scotlands leading restaurants is literally across the road, making his new house a perfect place for a chat over lunch…
If everything intends go wrong, this share price needs close below 166p to justify panic.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
