This evening brought an interesting dinner. Rehearsing for Xmas day, a vague concept of serving Venison with a Chocolate sauce seemed a good   idea. A glance at the internet revealed a few easy chocolate sauce recipes, with only a couple of ingredient issues. No single cream, just use double cream. No beef stock, just use chicken, no cognac, just use rum, and the only chocolate available was dark 93.9% cocoa super-strength rather than the demanded 70% cocoa. We didn’t even have lemon juice, only lime juice. When it came down to it, the only correct ingredients present were water and local venison, along with a lazy aversion to going shopping.

The completed sauce looked authentically wonderful, the venison medallions just the correct size to dunk in a ramekin dish. It’s an easy admission to say this was, by several orders of magnitude, the most disgusting thing I’ve ever cooked. Worse, I’d been so focussed on the sauce the venison hadn’t been seasoned. When my wife returned home, rather than her usual exclamation about a wet dog smell (after a walk, the dog curls up at the front door), instead there were immediate questions on just what I’d tried to do as the house was stinking. The taste, similar to the smell, lingered and not even a strawberry milkshake served to eradicate the flavour of that awful sauce. Apparently, we’re having Venison with an Red berry sauce on Xmas day and I’m to make my signature Onion Soup, once again banned from producing a main course…

 

Despite the FTSE itself enjoying a useful day on Wednesday, amongst shares the reality was less convincing, hence inspiration to attempt cooking. Currently it looks like Thursday should prove capable of further gains for London and if Friday observes the usual playbook, the FTSE shall do next to nothing all morning with most of the action taking place between noon and 12.30pm, when the market closes for the holiday.

However, Ashmore Group, described as a specialist emerging markets investment manager, enjoy a share price which appears on the edge of becoming useful, fairly soon.

Currently trading around 237p, the share price need only exceed 240p to hopefully trigger further movement to an initial 246p. Achieving such a level comes with the visual implication of hesitation as the immediate downtrend in challenged but crucially, closure above 246p should prove important for the longer term. In this instance, longer term movement to a gift wrapped 284p looks very possible with our secondary, if beaten, working out at 317p.

To judge by a couple of emails received, whatever Ashmore are up to is attracting some interest, hence us taking the time to review their potentials. For everything to look like going horribly wrong, the price needs drop below 222p.

#FTSE #Stoxx 

The Hut Group, with a share price popularity reminiscent of approval ratings for UK politicians, is currently trading in a region where, from a Big Picture perspective, we cannot calculate a logical bottom. Online retailers continue to enjoy a bit of a hammering, almost as if investors completely forgot about the possibility of the pandemic ending. Now, of course, it’s the threat of international recession, along with rising interest rates dampening consumer spending which is being blamed for the share price decline.

This weeks little tranche of bad news for THG came from a story one of their insurers are reducing supplier cover – insurance used to protect suppliers against the potential of a retailer going broke between the point of receiving goods and paying suppliers. However, more positively, the reduction in insurance cover is described as modest, in line with similar reductions being made against other online retailers. On the basis insurance companies know a thing or two, we’re opting to search for early warning signs which shall point to share price recovery for THG. But we’d be remiss, if we didn’t take the chance to supply a little more misery first.

The immediate situation calculates with the potential, should 50p now break, of reversal to an initial 39p with secondary, if broken, at 14p. But from a Big Picture perspective, remember we cannot calculate a bottom. We’re working on the period since June this year, when the market opted to gap the share price below our “ultimate bottom” of 98p (circled).

 

If we opt to dip into the realms of optimism – it is Xmas! – a closing price above 59p should now prove capable of triggering price recovery to an initial 75p. Visually, the implies a challenge of the immediate Blue downtrend and, if exceeded, our longer term secondary works out at an impressive 127p. Our immediate suspicion is THG shall prove worth keeping an eye on.

#Gold #SP500

Two things are inevitable during the festive season, increased alcohol sales and also, that miserable dirge; ‘Fairytale in New York’. Thankfully, only one of these subjects lends itself to analysis while the other simply brings into question the musical taste of those who choose songs for radio stations. Even normally respected Ken Bruce on Radio2 has played the awful tune.

Diageo Plc, owner of multiple drinks brands, produce something more palatable than drab Xmas music, the largest exporter of Scotch whisky with a truly intimidating list of labels. When we include brands such as Guinness, Smirnoff, Morgans Run, and Baileys, it’s a surprise Diageo share price doesn’t shoot up higher every December, in a drunken euphoric fit of optimism.

Currently trading around 3636p, Diageo share price appears to have spent 2022 essentially trapped within a trading range of roughly 35 quid to 40 quid. However, according to our calculations, the share price now need only CLOSE a session above 3857p to again promote some recovery as we can calculate an initial 3982p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at 4100p. Unusually, we can also provide a third level, in the event the share price manages to close a session above our secondary and it’s at a spectacular 4502p and a new all time high.

 

As always, there’s a “however” and we’ve circled it on the chart.

For some reason, in October Diageo share price opted to dip below the Pandemic Red uptrend, something we often think of as a warning sign. This creates a situation where weakness next below just 3580p risks becoming a little dangerous, provoking rebersal to an initial 3476p with secondary, if broken, at 3345p and a hopeful bounce, judging by the visuals. In fact, a bounce becomes almost essential at such a level as closure below 3345p risks triggering long term travel to an eventual 2572p.

#Brent #Dax  

Our usual quick trawl of Google News, prior to writing about Barclays, took us down an accidental rabbit hole. Apparently there’s a politician called Steve Barclay who’s tasked with keeping NHS staff impoverished and he’s nothing to do with the bank. While considering the various stories, a similarity with the 1st and 2nd World Wars, and the Pandemic, became clear.

During times of conflict, the folk at the front line were celebrated in their home country, the media devoting constant front pages feting the devotion of those involved in the fight. This hype, used extensively to praise “front line” workers during the Pandemic, unfortunately had an identical ending to that experienced after the two major wars of the 20th century. When troops returned, the rhetoric from a grateful nation proved empty, and it’s not difficult to understand the frustration among those in the NHS who, once again, feel undervalued and underappreciated by the Government.

To be fair, personally I’m not so sure about the train drivers, suspecting they’re jumping on a bandwagon. With the UK enjoying among the highest rail fares anywhere, often coupled with truly dreadful service, there’s clearly a problem with the industry but it’s difficult to find sympathy for the dispute.

As said earlier, this was an unexpected rabbit hole and it’s time to return to Barclays!

 

Three weeks ago, when we covered Barclays, we expressed a scenario where movement above 160.22p should promote travel toward an initial 169p. Our trigger level has been exceeded, the share price closing above on no less than four occasions. However, subsequent price movements are proving less generous than a government negotiator at a nurses pay dispute, the highest price achieved being a parsimonious 162.8p. It’s still the case the share price needs tumble below 148p to spoil our optimism but we can refine (again) our upper target ambitions.

The situation now is of movement above 162.8p now expected to trigger travel up to an initial 169p with secondary, if beaten, now reduced to a viable looking 184p.

A contrary scenario is indicated, should Barclays share wander below 148p as reversal to an initial 145p is expected. If broken, our secondary works out at 135p and hopefully a bounce. As the chart below shows, there are quite unpleasant indications in the event 135p breaks.

#FTSE #WallSt  

The only thing funnier than my recent Diabetes T2 diagnosis are recent FTSE movements. With Coeliac disease (the gluten thing) along with egg and shellfish allergies already compromising food choices, the inclusion of diabetes has brought chaos into Xmas dinner plans. But on the plus side, I get to play with all the packaging and wrapping paper while everyone eats!

This little hint of frustration with the FTSE comes, thanks to recent market movements. We’d been hoping the rally which started in November would continue but, thanks to politicians and interest rate manipulation, it starts to look like the UK index is fated to follow other markets into a downward spiral. With Wall St, for instance, we shall not be surprised if it visits 32,300 sometime soon. Dangerously, should such a level break, the US index could easily lose a further 2,000 points before bouncing. At risk of being ridiculous, it almost feels like those who spent October predicting recession in 2023 are now doing their hardest to actually cause such a mess, thanks to the markets opting to ignore their predictions and trundle upwards. Currently, the writing is on the wall, we’re just not 100% certain it’s in indelible ink. Should Wall St wander below 32,850, the chances of severe reversals increase dramatically.

 

Near term for the FTSE, movement below 7410 looks troubling, coming with the risk of triggering reversal to an initial 7347 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 7294 points and hopefully a bounce capable of propelling the index above Red again. From a “charty” stance, this would be very good news for the future.

Our converse stance for the FTSE requires the UK index to exceed 7495 points as this should trigger emergency recovery to an initial 7537 points. Our secondary is a little worrying, calculating at 7587 points and matching recent previous highs. This, essentially, telegraphs the risk of a glass ceiling at the 7600 level and hints optimism should stay on the back burner until the UK manages to close above such a level.

#Stoxx50 #SP500

True victory is when a grand-daughter says to her horrified mother, “Can we go outside tonight to look at the haemorrhoids? Grand-dad says he’s going to be taking photographs.” In my defence, meteor shower names are all vaguely similar, so inventing ‘The Haemorrhoid Meteor Shower’ amused. Of course, the child remembered tonight’s spectacular, asking her mum to go outside once it got dark.

The reality, with outside temperatures here in Argyll currently around -7c, is it’s too blooming cold to loiter with a camera. Despite a ski jacket, snow boots, bobble hat, and the inevitable surgical mask (hey, these things really keep your nose warm!), the idea of standing around for 30 minutes somehow fails to appeal. Currently, my phone is linked by bluetooth to a proper camera which is sitting outside and so far, I’ve seen nothing worth taking a photograph of. This is a bit similar to Argo Blockchain, a company with a chart we wish we could just skip past. Perhaps the number of email requests, asking for an update, may be an indication of something stirring. Or perhaps it’s showing a degree of panic at a share price following a similar trajectory to this evenings invisible meteors.

 

When we previously reviewed Argo Blockchain back in January of this year, we failed to be impressed and pointed out the dangers if it moved below 88p. By the end of the month, the share price had ticked all the boxes and started to tumble, eventually reaching out “ultimate bottom” of 49p during May 2022. We’d assigned this as an “ultimate bottom” simply because we couldn’t calculate lower without invoking minus signs. Following this calamity, time has not been kind to the share and it’s currently trading around 4p.

Perhaps some hope may be taken from recent Bitcoin price movements as it’s exhibiting early signs for a surprise recovery. LSE:ARB managed to mimic Bitcoin hysterics during the share price decline, so maybe there’s a chance for share price recovery, should Bitcoin decide to do something useful. Currently Bitcoin is suggesting it may abandon its attempts to visit the 13,000 dollar level as above 18,500 should provoke a lift to an initial 20,700 with secondary, if exceeded, a game changing 25,400. The secondary is a really big deal as, if attained, it confirms the immediate rot is over for Bitcoin. And a company like LSE:ARB should experience sharp share price recovery. At least, in a fair world, it would.

Another hopeful aspect of ARB comes from all the little Xmas bobbles we’ve decorated the chart with. This is a share where the market habitually forces the price down, six pretty major manipulation gaps in the last 12 months. Some attention is warranted with the inset on the chart, showing movement a couple of days ago, as the market worked hard to ensure ARB didn’t exceed the ruling Blue downtrend. It may be the case this shall prove important, if attempting to catch a surprise recovery. In the event the market allows this share price to close above Blue, we shall be inclined to assume the brakes are off, hoping a cycle to an initial 10.3p is commencing with secondary, if beaten, a longer term 17.2p.

We can count above these levels but, in this instance, will prefer to revisit the share if it actually does anything useful.

#Gold #Nikkei

Housing Deutsche Bank and the European Central bank HQ’s, Frankfurt provides an absurd memory of visiting an excellent Christmas market one Sunday. It was supposed to be a quick day trip, my then girlfriend who worked in Munich assuring me it was just a few centimetres on the map, surely a quick drive. Her map was, of course, of all Europe and we lacked a GPS.

Our Saab 900 Turbo dealt with the 400km journey well, covering the couple of map centimetres in around 4 hours. It transpired the Xmas market was truly spectacular. Inevitably perhaps, we bought a cuckoo clock for ourselves and a bunch of unusual gifts for family back in Scotland. Perhaps it was the proximity of the banking centre but our experience in Frankfurt provided excellent shopping, unbelievable food, and several cases of wine, most of which was drunk by the time Xmas came around. Arriving back at The Four Seasons hotel in Munich just after midnight, we were just a few hours away from discovering another of her assumptions about the cost of hotels was expensively wrong. Quite how she’d survived the previous 8 months working in Munich, learning none of the language (due to most Germans demanding to practice their excellent English), remaining a distant stranger to exchange rates, still defeats me. Her corporate employer was picking up the tab for everything – except our stay in one of the best hotels in Germany! When she took my card down to settle the bill while I sorted out our luggage, her complexion would have challenged Dulux definition of “white” when she met up at the car. She’d finally gotten around to some basic arithmetic, realising we’d spent £180 on a single bottle of (excellent) wine with dinner on Friday night. By the time we reached our next port of call, Heidelberg, she was suggesting we spent the rest of the holiday week sleeping in the car.

Similar to Deutsche Bank share price at 120 €, that expensive week is a distant memory, but the pleasant impact of the Frankfurt’s Xmas market remains. And the cuckoo clock still works…

 

The point behind this reminiscence is shown with the Blue line on the chart below. At the start of November Deutsche Bank (DBK) share price moved through the downtrend from 2007. Generally with banking shares, we feel they need move through a magic wishing well, filled with lucky charms, blessed by the Xmas fairy, before anything useful happens. But in this instance, the movement appears to deserve an little inset on the chart as there’s little doubt the share price is reacting to the trend.

Should this prove to be the case, above just 10.50€ calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 11.2 Euro with our secondary, if bettered, at a viable looking 12.4 Euro.

This secondary is of particular interest as share price closure above 12.4€ takes the share into a region where a longer term 21.9 Euro becomes a sane long term ambition.

We think DBK may prove worth watching as we know German prices can offer quite a surprise.

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.
