Rentokil Initial Plc (LSE:RTO), time to fly?

#FTSE #NASDAQ

There’s a song which includes the lyric “Get all the news I need on the weather report” *** but here in Argyll, Scotland, we just realised we’ve even stopped with weather reports. Instead, we glance at the moorings outside and count. A safe haven for the vehicle ferries, if none are tied up, winds should be light. If one ferry is parked, it’s going to be breezy and if two are moored, strong winds are expected. Seriously bad weather will bring in three or four vessels. The markets can produce similar clues.

On Monday 24th, we illustrated our expectations, when a price rises above the level of a previous trend break. It’s an easy “at a glance” tell tale, one which confirms why we often say “the trend isn’t important, what’s important is how a price reacts to a trend”. In this instance, what happened on Tuesday 25th provided a perfect case in point.

 

Five of the six world markets below had broken above their historic Pandemic uptrend break. As a result, we expected some positive movements and all obliged. The one which didn’t was the FTSE as it still needs exceed roughly 7200 points to enter happy territory. But currently, there’s no force allowing optimism and the UK market closed Monday at 7013 points, exactly the same level at which it closed Tuesday. Perhaps Wednesday may provide some gains, especially as there’s a bit of an argument suggesting other markets may run out of short term oomph.  We shall know soon!

Rentokil Initial It’s amusing to note Rentokil didn’t actual break their Pandemic uptrend, perhaps an indication of some strength for the share price. We suspect this shall prove to be the case, probably in the near future.

Currently trading around 522p, the share price needs exceed 523p to hopefully trigger movement in the direction of an initial 546p. As the chart shows, this looks capable of challenging the immediate Blue downtrend, doubtless provoking some hesitation in any rise.  In the even 546p is exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at a future 571p. In this case, the secondary could easily prove game changing as a glance at the chart reveals it represents a new high for 2022. Or to be blunt, it dumps the share price into a region where a future 658p works out as a viable ambition. Given such a target level matches the high of 2021, it even makes a degree of sense but, to be fair, we’d demand seeing the share price actually close above 571p before daring to believe it’s real!

 

If things intend go wrong, the price moving below 460p would be required to give early warning of real trouble. Movement such as this calculates with the risk of reversal to an initial 420p with secondary, if broken, a bottom at 380p, ideally capable of providing a reasonable bounce.

For now, we suspect Rentokil intends head upward.

Legal and General Group (LSE:LGEN); will they join the party?

#Gold #SP500

Worldwide, market trends starting in March 2020 became quite apparent. We’ve become used to knowing it as the Pandemic Trend, represented as a Red line on charts dealing with World indices. In-house, we’ve a rule of thumb which kicks in, when a “price” exceeds the point of a trend break. Briefly, we expect the price to continue climbing in the absence of anything negative happening.

On Monday 24th October, both Wall St and the S&P exceeded their previous trend break levels, as did the Euro Stoxx 50 and the DAX. We’ve shown a collection of chart excerpts below (and will admit to being puzzled by Australia) but worldwide, it appears markets are choosing to exceed their point of trend break, giving considerable hope for market conditions in the next few months.

Except, that is, for viewers in the UK…

The FTSE needs exceed somewhere around 7180 points to join the Optimistic Party yet languishes below Red. From our perspective, there’s no similarity to the S&P500 as while it remains below Red, the index value has exceeded the level at trend break (just – it was 3782 points) and now looks like claiming its place in a hopeful future. The other outlier, Australia, exceeded its Red trend at the start of October and visually seems to have moved faster than everyone else. We suspect it shall now stop messing around and join the rest in enjoying positive movement toward the year end.

Except for viewers in the UK… as we said earlier. The FTSE remains risky, possibly able to explore a bottom around 6350 if a politician does anything silly, like think. Hopefully it shall prove to be the case where the FTSE succumbs to the wider mood, experiencing gains in concert with everyone else.

Legal and General Group Curiously, when we apply our Pandemic trend argument to LGEN, their share price needs close above 240p to suggest happy days ahead. Currently trading around 233p, we’ve a pocketful of hope as it doesn’t need any great impetus to start some recovery. Near term, above 240p should impart sufficient oomph to make an attempt at 246p next. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 268p, an ambition which makes a lot of visual sense, especially as it looks like a “glass ceiling” in waiting.

In the longer term, closure above 268p shall prove crucial as we can already work out a longer term ambition at 324p sometime in the future.

 

However, despite us gushing modest optimism, we dare not forget the salient detail of the price currently trading below the historic Red uptrend. This sort of positioning frequently allows any negative news flow to provide exaggerated reversals. In the case of Legal and General, below 219p should provide sufficient early warning as this looks able to trigger reversal to an initial 207 with secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of 177p

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) not winning the race!

#Brent #Dax

As the UK starts to play the last game of ‘Find A Prime Minister’ for 2022, maybe a miracle shall occur. More likely, with a search restricted to the immediate trough, we shall enjoy a General Election early in 2023. Surely politicians cannot be so completely self unaware as to completely miss the low regard in which they are held, similar to UK retail bank shares, only worse!

Lloyds share price is still a little concerning as below 40p now suggests imminent weakness down to an initial 36.7p. If broken, our longer term secondary now works out at 33.25p, hopefully a point at which a proper rebound shall occur.

 

Otherwise, it is still the case Lloyds requires – from our perspective – to close a session above 43.5p to give real hope. A truly surprise movement like this should position the share price quite neatly, now capable of recovery to an initial 47p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer term  51.8p. Unfortunately, for now, Lloyds share price movements are making about as much sense as the governments ability to discover someone competent to lead it.

We fear Lloyds is destined to explore further depths, probably with an eventual bottom at our 33.25p. It even makes sense visually.

Finally, sorry this report is so short and sharp. It’s absolutely nothing to do with watching the US Grand Prix on Sunday evening, nothing at all…

Our fab FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)

#FTSE #Gold

Liz Truss, serving as Prime Minister under more British monarchs in the last 70 years than any other PM, didn’t rock the FTSE with news of her retreat. The FTSE went up a bit, matching the days previous high, then fell. Also, GBPUSD spiked, then fell. The conclusion drawn suggests no-one was impressed, doubtless worrying which Muppet is next? Or maybe not…

We’ve a bit of a problem with the FTSE movement as it coincided with similar movements everywhere else. Even Bitcoin USD enjoyed a little spike before falling back again, clearly a market which would ignore the travails of the UK and its inability to discover politicians capable of governing. The chart immediately below shows the lack of impact on the 20th October, a day which will not go down in history.

As for the FTSE near term, below 6894 looks capable of trouble (as long as it isn’t in the opening seconds of Friday), potentially able to provoke reversal to an initial 6861 points with secondary, if broken, a hopeful bottom of 6810 points. Visually, this would make a lot of sense, given movements during the last few weeks. There is the potential for serious dramatics, should the FTSE discover a reason to close a session below 6810 points as a cycle downhill to 6330 points shall look inevitable.

 

However, we can admit our converse scenario looks more probable. Movement now above 6969 points should trigger market recovery to an initial 7008 points with secondary, if bettered, calculating at a more useful 7042 points. To escape from the index’ current spiral of doom, the FTSE still needs above 7200. Quite crucially, in the even the FTSE invents justification to close above 7042 points, a major box is ticked in a series of arguments promoting surprise UK market recovery.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the American GP, this one thankfully being from the Circuit of the Americas.

Do Uranium Energy & Bannerman Energy AMEX:UEC & ASX:BMN glow in the dark?

#FTSE #Nasdaq

Uranium shares are lacking in the UK markets, perhaps due to nothing in the country enjoying a decent half-life. Watching UK Govt ministerial careers now being measuring in days, gives a reasonable clue. But on the Nasdaq and Australian exchanges, we didn’t need dig too far to uncover a couple of glowing prospects. It’s probably important to mention, UEC share price is in US Dollars, Bannerman is priced in Australian Dollars.

We appear to have a few customers fascinated by uranium, doubtless due to a reasonable expectation for clean and cheap nuclear power to become rather more important than others in the years ahead. It’d almost be funny, if it were not the public paying the literal cost of many “green initiatives” which make for great headlines and political photo opportunities. But tried and tested nuclear power was almost abandoned after it became fashionable to refer to the tsunami nuclear incident as ‘The Fukushima Disaster’. The Japanese government now confirm one single person died from radiation related illness.

 

We think a visit to the Bannerman website is time well spent, their activities fascinating and obviously, they highlight themselves as “world leading” in the area of nuclear safety. It’d be silly to expect otherwise from any organisation in this field. The company introduced a 1:10 share split at the end of July, a direction of split we’ve come to loathe from the UK markets as it’s primarily used to conceal a failing share price. In the case of Bannerman, their share price has been sound asleep since 2012, trading below the dollar level.

Being unfamiliar with Australian exchange share price behaviour following this bias of split (we’ll take your 10 shares and give you a brand new shiny single share), it’d be unfair of us to anticipate the worst for the future. Instead, we’re inclined to mild optimism and suspect, should this exceed our next trigger at 2.25 AUD, some price recovery to an initial 2.8 is expected with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 4.97 AUD.

Should their share price intend something awful, below 1.6 should suffice as this comes with the threat of the share price halving.

 

Uranium Energy Corp (AMEX:UEC) Clearly a little more hopeful than their Australian counterpart’s share price, UEC look poised for some action. After a glance through their website, we were pleased to note there’s no mention of Homer Simpson nor the town of Springfield, calling into question the documentary credentials of “The Simpsons” on telly. But to be fair, UEC mine uranium, selling the stuff to the folk who actually use it.

Our inclination is to regard 4.25 as a potential trigger for any future growth cycle.

Above 4.25 calculates with the potential of movement to an initial US $5.70 with our secondary, if bettered, at a new high of $6.70. Despite such a secondary ambition effectively matching the highs of 2011, should the share price manage to close a session in the future above 6.70, some truly impressive long term potentials open up.

Of the two companies discussed, both are worth watching but for early potentials, we suspect UEC shall prove most interesting.

i3 Energy Plc (LSE:i3E), no warning signs.

#FTSE #SP500

A warning light today on the car dashboard, consisting of a big orange spanner, caused immediate panic. It justified coming off the motorway in a panic as “a spanner” looked quite troubling. Parking safely, the manual was quickly searched, only to discover the car was telling me it was time for an oil change. Surely, in this day and age, Toyota could simply have the words “Oil Change Due” broadcast onto the LCD screen.

Now relaxing and looking for the on-ramp to rejoin the motorway, it transpires there wasn’t one. We needed now waste time, driving country roads, until eventually discovering a method of rejoining the motorway. Meanwhile, a bit of black tape now handily conceals the nagging spanner, the car was already booked in for a winter service next month.

 

Sometimes, we think share prices come pre-equipped with irritating warning lights. i3 Energy (we’re being careful to use lower case ‘i’, lest it look like number 13), listed on the UK AIM and also the Toronto exchange, has assets in the North Sea, along with further assets in Canada. Their website claims to commit to returning value to shareholders, an ambition which the decline from 120p to the current 22p appears to be failing. But on the bright side, they do pay a dividend, the value of which certainly provokes lively conversation in internet chatrooms…

Currently, their share price is visually alarming, price movements since July casting their version of a spanner at the 22.2p level, trying to convince the market of movement below such a point risking disaster. We’re not entirely sold on the concept, calculating weakness below 22.2 risks reversal to an initial 20.7 with secondary, if broken, at 18.7p and hopefully a bounce. A glance at the chart below suggests, in the grand scheme of things, this sort of movement isn’t particularly dangerous. For real panic to make itself known, the price currently needs settle below 14.7p.

There’s a converse scenario, one which doesn’t require a great deal of work for the share price to become quite interesting.

Above 29p presents the possibility of gains to an initial 38p with secondary, if bettered, at 42p.

Hopefully this shall prove worth keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead.

Quadrise Fuels International Plc looks positive

#Gold #Dow

Visiting Quadrise’s website managed to prove quite informative, going some way to explaining why diesel is so heavily priced in comparison to petrol. Being unaware diesel production creates heavy residual oils, stuff needing treatment before it can be sold (at a discount) as Heavy Fuel Oil. Oil refineries prefer not to sell anything at a discount…

Quadrise (QFI) bring a method which changes how Heavy Fuel Oil is produced, allowing the end product to be sold at a premium as it produces substantially lower CO2 emissions. QFI are delighted to explain – at length – what their company is about via their web presence and to be fair, some of the information is quite fascinating. None of this explains their share price as it has been pretty foul for quite a few years.

 

Currently. it appears QFI enjoy a share price which is attempting to do something positive with itself, breaking though a downtrend which appears to have been influencing the share price since 2015. Perhaps some hope is possible in the near term, maybe even the longer term. The immediate situation looks to be quite straightforward, movement above 2.35p calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 2.65 with secondary, if bettered, a more useful 3.6p.

At the 3.6p level, things become a little vague as the share really needs to close above 3.6p to suggest Big Picture influences are coming into play. Currently, the implication of closure above 3.6p allegedly permits the share price to more than double to 7.8p, a game changing price level which visually hints of the presence of a future glass ceiling.

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong for QFI, their share price needs drip below 1.1p as we cannot calculate a bottom. For now, we suspect this shall prove very worthy of keeping an eye on.

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.
