#Gold #Centamin  Obviously, with the price of Gold currently behaving as if it’s on steroids, we’ve been receiving a bunch of emails asking about various Gold mining shares. Amusingly, with Gold currently around $2350, our report on Gold in November last year issued a future target of $2357, being careful to admit this target would probably prove similar to the ambition of politicians to ship illegal immigrants off to Rwanda, something promised but never attained.

However, movements on the price of Gold since the start of March have proven our cautious nature was a load of tosh and once the price of the metal successfully closed above the glass ceiling (Blue on the chart), it was only to be a matter of time until it sprouted faster than a dandelion on a sunny day. Gold is now showing some useful potentials, needing below 2080 to spoil the party. Instead, it now appears likely above $2357 provides the potential of a lift to an initial 2480 with secondary, if bettered, at $2500 and some potential hesitation, if only to satisfy all the doom-sayers who will claim it can’t surpass this level. In normal circumstances, we’d agree except for two things.

Firstly, a bunch of folk will almost certainly open Short positions at the $2500 and there are few things the market finds funnier than collecting a bunch of stop losses.

Secondly, perhaps more importantly, the Big Picture now claims a future $2778 is possible for Gold, a price level where unless “they” start gapping it up, the metal should almost certainly experience some collywobbles.

 

Centamin Plc, the Gold producer active in Egypt and further down around the Ivory Coast, show extraction results which would shame the “best” commercial producers on Discovery’s Gold Rush TV show. For instance, in 2023, they extracted nearly 1/2 million ounces from their Sukari pit, a number which compares favourably against the best producer on the TV show who extracted nearly 8,000 ounces in the Yukon. Though, if we break it down to “Ounces Per Employee”, the guys in the Yukon appear to be far more efficient!

Our immediate outlook for Centamin suggests above 125 should prove capable of boosting the share price to a less than impressive 127.6p. Our secondary, above such a level, calculates at a future 144p, along with a demand the share price close above such a level to hopefully make a Big Picture future 177p a reality. The share price certainly has fairly strong prospect and we cannot help but wonder when the runaway price of Gold may spread into high revenue expectations for miners.

If things intend go wrong for LSE:CEY, the share price needs drop below 106p to spark trouble, allowing reversal to an initial 100 with secondary, if broken, at a probable bottom of 91p.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

 #Gold #Nasdaq  Everyone knows all the dangers associated with bottom feeding, trying to discriminate the exact level at which a share shall stop going down and start bouncing. We’re fairly sure, if a way was ever found to drain the stock market, the bottom would be littered with the bones of investors murdered by the torrents of falling knives, each convinced they’d finally be the hero in their own story.

There’s a converse scenario, one just as fraught with trouble, easily spotted when a share price keeps going up. This path to fabulous ascendance is, similar to Mount Everest, dusted with the bodies of those who believed things could go no higher, opting to escape a soaring share price as “No-one ever went broke, making a profit!”. The emotional similarity to a failing share price is quite fascinating, both attempts at maximising profit essentially routed firmly in greed rather than common sense.

3i Group currently provide quite a useful case in point. Their share price is soaring higher than ever, doubtless attracting the usual bunch who’re ready to claim the opened a short position the moment they noticed it had stopped going higher. We’ve shown a little chart extract, one which is doubtless pretending to advise nervous investors 3i share price has reached a plateau, one where some trouble should be anticipated. The analytical investors shall convince themselves the 30 quid level is about to provide a hurdle beyond which the price clearly cannot go, the immediate period of flatlining doubtless indicating a halt to any buying frenzy.

We’re not entirely convinced this shall prove to be the case. On the chart, we’ve circled an area from 2023, a point where the share price previously discovered a case of “nerves” just above the 20 quid level. Folk armed with long term charts would quickly notice this was the high of the share price back in the year 2000 and it’s certain a fair number of traders successfully convinced themselves the price had reached a natural barrier, opting to pocket their profit, then watching aghast as the share price continued to climb by almost 50%.

We don’t trust these plateau as shown on the chart below, especially when they occur as a share price is climbing. We’ve even coined a pet name for them, a flat trend. When a share price successfully closes above such a flat trend, it’s almost always a signal the climbing season is again upon us.

In the case of 3i Group, share price closure above 2323p shall give some hope or, more probably from an intraday perspective, movement exceeding 2858p giving a solid suggestion movement to an initial 3003p has become our next ambition with secondary, if bettered, at 3336p. We’ve a whole bunch of reasons to anticipate some price hesitation at this secondary level but would warn investors to take care. If the market starts to “gap” 3i share price up at the open any time now, we shall take this as a signal they also intend to climb past 3336p sometime in the future.

 

If things intend go wrong, the price needs below 2229p (red) to indicate slight panic, giving the potential of weakness possible to a future 1575p, if everything intends go really wrong. Visually, we doubt it.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Brent #Barclays Last week, the entire UK resounded to the sound of party poppers going off, an event strangely reminiscent of the day the nation apparently shook to the sound of church bells as news of the end of the 2nd world war erupted. Okay, perhaps the exuberance was a little more muted but Barclays share price actually did something interesting!

From our perspective, the interest doesn’t reside in the fact it achieved our 191.4p target but rather the fact the market actually permitted the share price to close Thursday very slightly above this target level. Despite a near certainty the share price shall mess around a bit at the current level, possibly even discovering an excuse to retreat to 183p with secondary, if broken, at 173p, we’d not be immediately alarmed as movements such as this just fall into the criteria of “share prices can go down and up”, rather than establishing a strong trend. In fact, should 173p make an appearance, there’s a pretty fair argument in favour of taking a Long position with a seriously tight stop as we suspect another return to the 191p level shall be on the cards.

We’re making a bit of noise about this, thanks to that Blue downtrend line on the chart. It dates back to 2007, and the end of the era when politicians still resigned when being caught with their paws in the cookie jar.

However, the adrenalin is flowing due to Barclays now achieving a fairly important Big Picture movement, one which effectively forces us to take cognisance of the long term Blue line as it allows a scenario where this retail bank finds itself in a position where a four letter word describes the future; HOPE.

 

Now above 194.2p should apparently prove capable of triggering share price movement to an initial 220p with our secondary, if exceeded, at a future 251p. Perhaps we are placing a lot of emphasis on a positive movement of just a couple of pence but it “feels” like the market is taking cognisance of the same trend we are, hence our efforts are crossing fingers, buying rabbits paws, and ensuring all the horse-shoes are pointing the correct way… (Nope, even Google fails to provide a straight answer for this!)

If Barclays intends a return to the days of clown school, the share price needs below 155p to justify serious concern.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#WallSt #FTSE  The UK index has almost achieved the unthinkable, needing only to close above 8015 to move the index into the realms of “new all time highs”. What’s annoying are the number of FTSE 100 constituents, whose share prices continue to languish in the gutter, but the value of the index gains, due to the relegation of companies like Hiscox, Johnson Matthey, Hargreaves Lansdown, etc with other companies like Persimmon shuffling out to the FTSE 250, then being readmitted when their market capitalisation was perceived to have improved in relation to existing members of the main UK market.

In other words, the LSE takes care to ensure the FTSE 100 reflects the largest companies, the numeric value of the index really not reflecting how well constituents are actually doing. Or in plain English, the FTSE flirting with the 8000 point level provides absolutely no certainty Lloyds share price shall shoot up, Glencore could continue pretending to be interesting, and BP continues to look like an untroubled puddle of oil despite the index appearing to flourish, due to the revolving door for companies whose market cap meet criteria.

 

Of course, unlike Formula1, the FTSE doesn’t exist just to entertain folk but, again unlike Formula1, it looks like the FTSE is on the edge of becoming entertaining.

 

Near term, above 7991 points should prove interesting, calculating with the potential of movement to an initial 8023 points with our secondary, if beaten, working out at 8070 points. If triggered, the tightest stop works out at a fairly reasonable 7943 points.  This secondary of 8070 would represent a new all time high from intraday trading levels, the prior offering of 8047 points achieved on February 16th last year. But our rigid in-house rule demands both share price and index levels actually close a session above a prior level to make strength for the future a more comfortable proposition. As mentioned earlier, this demands the FTSE close above 8015 points.

Below 7943 points shows with the risk of triggering reversal to an initial 7912 points with our secondary, if broken, at 7850 points.

 

Have a good weekend. It’s sushi Sunday here for the Japanese GP, assuming we survive the 70mph winds being forecast for here in Argyll.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Gold #LloydsBank We didn’t skip our three weekly coverage of Lloyds because Easter Monday was a holiday. Because we also got to enjoy a holiday off, our retail bank Monday simply didn’t happen and was utterly forgotten about. However, the share is starting to show some signs of becoming interesting (along with our members of the financial sector) with a result we’re taking a “better late than never” stance, if only due to our target numbers changing.

 

There’s certainly some excitement, perhaps a bit muted, over Lloyds finally breaking the 50p level, even though the movement was carried out by a little bit of manipulation, the share price being gapped up from 50 to 51.1p as March drew toward a close. While some sectors of the financial press as positively drooling at this movement, one even inventing 70p as the next major target, our inclination is to rely on our software as historically it has proven pretty reliable in mapping the retail banks.

Now above just 52.5p currently looks capable of triggering fairly near term gains to an initial 55.5p and perhaps some hesitation, given the share prices behaviour at such a level since 2022. Our longer term secondary, if 55.5p is exceeded, works out at 60.5p and a price level where our logic demands witnessing the share price closing at such a level before being confident of a reasonable future. The 60.5p level is a big deal, marginally exceeding the high pre-pandemic and only once the price actually closes above such a point does it become very probable happier days are ahead.

One mildly important facet of Lloyds current movements is represented by the Blue line on the chart below. This Blue crayon mark shows a downtrend which dates back to the financial crisis of 2009 and for some reason, the market appears to be currently treating it as important, given price movements during the most recent 7 sessions. We can argue closure around the 60.5p level shall be significant, suggesting the price has broken free from the gloom of the big market crash and the doom of the Covid-19 era.

This being the case, we can easily shift into “big picture” mode and suggest ignoring any pundits promoting the idea of a 70p target level. Instead, we are able to calculate a future 89.6p as a viable future ambition.

 

Of course, this is a retail bank, always at the mercy of politicians, economists, and other circus clowns. As a result, below 50p shall now be viewed as dangerous, giving the potential of reversal to an initial 47.3p with our secondary, if broken, at 46p and a hopeful bounce.  One other thing worth remembering, if you wake up during the next few weeks and the market as chosen to gap Lloyds down at the open for any reason, there’s a reasonable excuse for some panic. But for now, we’re quite hopeful.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares

#Brent #Germany An email asking our thoughts on long established #Fisher & Sons Plc caught our attention, if only due to a reference to them being based in Barrow-in-Furness. Having visited Barrow just twice, it wasn’t a place which inspired any fond memories, especially after passing through the picturesque lake district anticipating being impressed. Instead, we found a town which would challenge a wet day in Greenock, Scotland for misery.

Okay, perhaps there’s another reason for the grudge. A reference about a mythical TVR 2+2 had led to a dealer in the town who claimed being able to source one. They were rare, not due to popularity but really because no sane person wanted one but as I’d a Golden Retriever, a sports car with a slightly useable back seat was needed. As I’d already owned most models of TVR, the idea of a 2+2 made sense and this vehicle promised to be special, apparently a cancelled order from someone in the middle east. The next few years proved interesting, the high end specification giving a constant reason for the vehicle suffering problems. One special incident was the day it started snowing inside the car, air conditioning opting to create artificial snow which pumped out every vent. This was to be the final TVR owned, eventually traded against a Mercedes coupe.

 

For the last couple of years, it has almost felt like a rule was being applied, one designed to make traders believe the share price could not sink below 245p. We often believe this can be an example of brokers exercising a sense of humour, awaiting sufficient number of shares purchased at “bottom” prior to executing a final “gotcha” drop. In the case of Fisher, we’re not entirely confident this is the case as, from a Big Picture stance, it is difficult to calculate below 245p without coming up with answers which are prefaced by impossible minus signs. Perhaps it is the case the share price is indeed at a “bottom” though, when we review movements since 2022, there is a vague chance weakness below 245p could maybe bottom at 120p.

Should we chose to embrace optimism, above 277p could hopefully trigger recovery to an initial important 292p. Recovery such as this would be important, exceeding the Blue downtrend and transporting the share price into a zone where a longer term cycle to 344p looks very possible. In this instance, we can even supply a third level target potential at 423p, an ambition which makes a lot of visual sense and implies any break upward is liable to find the share price stuck in its channel between 245p and 423p. Only with closure above 423p shall we dare believe a significant change has taken place in its longer term potentials.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#FTSE #WallSt  There was once a pop group called The Beatles and they wrote a tune called “Dear Prudence”. There can be few folk surfing the decline in Prudential’s share price since 2018 who don’t silently sing the first line of the song; “Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?” as they patiently tolerate the reduction in share value from 20 quid to a current 755p. Potentially, there is some good news on the horizon.

 

From a big picture perspective, since 2020 there has been a need for the share price to close a session below 736p to drive a final nail in its coffin. However, a few days ago when the price collapsed down to 719p, it actually closed the session at 745p, failing to pull a serious trigger. Our inclination is toward some hope we’ve just seen the price achieve a bottom.

This being the case, above 768p has the potential to provoke some fun and gains, allowing price recovery to an initial 784p with our secondary, if beaten, at a significant future 837p. We’re inclined to treat the potential of a future 837p as significant as it risks allowing the share price to nudge above the Red uptrend which dates back to the year 2009 and an era when “Dear Prudence” was around 40 years old.

 

However, if things intend go wrong, below 747 now risks a visit to an initial 736 with our secondary, if broken, calculating at 700p and hopefully a proper bounce. Danger intrudes, if 700p breaks as a third “it almost MUST bounce” level intrudes at 626p, a price level which makes little visual sense as it’d take the share into a zone which threatens armageddon which shall be difficult to recover from.

For now, as we face the annual chocolate festival of Easter with its unfortunate “diet starts Tuesday” implication, have a good long weekend and we’ll return on Tuesday.

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.
