#FTSE #SP500  A bunch of emails served to remind us of our previous report on Eurasia, almost a year ago. We wrote; “this has the potential to create a chart picture where the doomsayers shall sagely pronounce “double top”, anticipating another price crash and creating a self fulfilling prophecy for chatroom consumption.” and this is exactly what eventually happened. Even our next bit of tuppeny wisdom has also landed; “Share price closure around the initial target level of 5.1p is liable to present a game changing potential for the longer term.” And with the share price closing at 5.4p, it is now above a critical target level, thus explaining a flurry of emails.

It certainly appears as if the market has decided the 5.1p level is important for the share, the price currently oscillating above and below such a point, confirming it’s important. But with the bias of the dance favouring closure above 5.1p, our inclination is toward further recovery for the share price, rather than see it enjoy the usual “double top” mess with inevitable outcome. At present, we’d have some trouble, if the share price discovered a reason to wander below 4.1p as a cycle to 3.3p becomes arithmetically obvious. Our secondary, should such a level break, works out as a visit to 1.2p and the risk of prolonged time in share price prison.

 

It is worthwhile noting some fairly useful potentials exist for the future, needing the share price to stumble above 6.3p to hopefully trigger recovery to an initial 10.2p and some hesitation, if only due to the Closing Price downtrend since 2020. If bettered, our secondary calculates at a future 13.1p. along with the sound of many private investors having  a bit of a party.

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

#Gold #FTSE   It is certainly unusual to find ourselves being enthusiastic about a British publishing company but Informa Plc certainly break the mould, their confection of complementary activities creating a company which is collectively solid with some quite enviable activities. Their share price potentials currently echo our positive take on the organisation, a company formed in 1998 just 26 years ago.

The share price has struggled, since the inevitable enforced artificial hammering due to Covid-19 in 2020. However, something potentially very interesting has just occurred, due to the share price closing at 884, a potentially significant number. Obviously, it has achieved a “higher high” since the peaks of earlier this year but more importantly, the downtrend since 2019 has now been exceeded. To explain, this downtrend is currently at 883.528 and with the share closing a session at 884p it sends off – from our perspective – a flare urging us to pay attention. While the excess above the downtrend in only around half a penny, this is the sort of thing the market does not allow to happen accidentally, creating a situation where we can speculate a super long term attraction as now coming from a distant 1235p!

Another important aspect of the current share price comes from the pre-pandemic high being at 867p. With this share price breaking above such a level, it also broadcasts an important signal of things changing for the future, ticking another important optimism box.

From an immediate perspective, above 893p should next trigger movements to an initial 923 with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at 973p and some possible hesitation.

 

For things to go wrong, the share price needs slip below 800p to trigger reversals to an initial 753 with our secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 678p and almost certain hesitation. Unfortunately, such a poisonous movement would also emplace the share price below the uptrend since 2020, making recovery difficult as this would risk stuffing the share into sticky mud while awaiting positive news to propel it out of the mess.

For now, we’re fairly positive about this. It’s not promising huge percentage changes, but the jump from current levels to our modest 973p still cannot be ignored.

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

#Brent #WallSt The funny thing about the Aurora Borealis is, once you’ve seen it, it’s easy to recognise it thereafter. Tonight, for instance, at 3c and with low grey cloud, above the cloud the sky is doing its own disco show with sudden streaks of light visible through the murky sky, an evening when little excitement was expected by the boffins. In fairness, the layer of cloud was certainly concealing all but the brightest stars and seeing a sudden laser beam of white light shoot across the cloud was interesting, perhaps a couple of drinks short of fascinating! But at least, it was obvious what was going on.

 

It starts to appear LSE:IGG may be on the verge of producing some results from behind a veil of obscurity. One of our “things” is the horizontal trend such as shown on the chart below. This delineates a Red trend line at roughly 965p, dating back to 2016. With the share price breaking through this trend, we are forced to conclude the next target level should be at 1121p with our secondary, if beaten, lurking at 1277p and almost certain hesitation in any rising cycle.

The immediate picture is less rosy, hinting at weakness below 995 being capable of tripping an explosion of reversal to an initial 943 with secondary, if broken, at a possible bottom of 890p. Despite these numbers making quite a lot of visual sense, we would hope any reversal finds itself stifled by Red on the chart, 965p, providing a surprise bounce level capable of funding future gains.

 

As is normal with IG Group, perhaps it is time to execute the crossed fingers trading strategy…

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

#Brent #SP500  Regular reads will know we’re quite attached to our “Gap Down / Gap Up” arguments, a fairly solid track record almost making us comfortable in proposing price movements based on such an obscure price dance by the UK market. When these arguments are applied to Wall St and S&P500 shares, the results are almost as reliable but only when a few other of our weird rules are applied. Sometimes we wish the weather could be as reliable, tonight when -6c was forecast in Argyll. According to the big thermometer on the office window, it’s actually 8c, the heavy snow which was also forecast being a clickbait headline from the folk at the weather company, anxious to validate their existence.

Our irritation over this state of affairs is a preference to avoid headlines to attract the gullible. It’s be nice to say (with vague justification) Lloyds Bank are now trading in a zone, where a long term cycle to 111p looks viable. It certainly makes for a great headline and may prove possible but the unpleasant reality of timeframes intrudes.

Our Gap Down / Gap Up (GaGa) logic implies Lloyds share price wants to head to 64.85p on the current cycle, so we shall be more comfortable discussing what the future may hold, should 64.85p be exceeded. On Friday 7th, Lloyds managed to spike to 63.56p at the open, even repeating the feat 30 minutes later to prove it wasn’t a mistake. Amazingly, this little dance actually allows for another fascinating detail to enter the picture. If we draw a downtrend since 2009, it runs through the high of last October, providing some quite interesting share price twitches which attempt to validate this downtrend as being viable.

 

Should this be the case, share price movements bettering 64.85p now exhibit interesting potentials, giving an initial target level at 68.8p with our secondary, if beaten, a visually believable longer term 89p, along with almost certain hesitation. And even more fascinating, it actually would place the share on a cycle to an eventual 111p, matching a high of 2009 and the year of the Financial Crisis!

 

If things intend go horribly wrong for Lloyds, their share price needs slink below 52p as this could easily trigger reversals to an initial 47p with our secondary, if broken, a bottom at 42p. But for now, we’re strangely enthusiastic…

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

#FTSE #GOLD  Watching various UK Labour politicians squirming at the prospect of dealing with President Trump, it’s easy to be reminded of the comedy song “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy, when comments they’ve historically said about Mr Trump resurface. We’re starting to wonder when members of the Bank of England policy committee shall start making similar vocal dance steps, when they try and justify the lethargy with which they’ve managed stifle any hope for the UK economy making a recovery to match the rest of the world. The recent interest rate reduction of just 0.25%, again pretty far from brave, failed to match 0.5% and 0.75% reductions scheduled by other central banks.

Oddly, It was President Trump who made us pause for thought regarding the Central Bank interest rate waltz. His weird or genius concept for repairing Gaza provided a reminder there are other ways of controlling an outcome, rather than failed conventional wisdom. There’s little doubt the concept of using interest rates to control inflation has failed, yet the folks with the big brains and bigger salaries at central banks seem unable to come up with any smart ideas other than to wield concepts with historical failure to achieve any results! Hence, our suspicion members of the BoE Policy Committee are readying themselves for a “It Wasn’t Me” stance, while their former leader Mr Carney jockey’s for position to continue the failed policy schedule of Canada’s outgoing Trudeau.

We’ve strong feelings on this subject, becoming fed up of bobble head “economists” watching every other country in the hope of getting a clue what to do for the future. Surely they must realise this isn’t how things progress? While President Trumps idea for Gaza may be daft, the more important thing was he’d an idea for a solution which no-one else had produced. Perhaps he shall eventually expand upon the concept, suggesting the populace of Gaza move to Greenland to boost the massive islands meagre 86k population…. To be fair, it’s unlikely anyone from even Scotland would wish to move to Greenland, the weather being a bit tougher than the foulness we expect in Scotland.

But on the bright side, the writer spent 20 minutes watching a massive wingspan Buzzard in our bit of Argyll on Thursday, gliding low above a field which had been “wilded” and clearly marking out its territory before the mating season. These things, known locally as “tourist Eagles” can be hypnotic at this time of year, tourists unaware an adult Eagle is 2 or 3 times larger than a Buzzard. Obviously, for the next week, our Nikon camera will be carried in the hope of getting a photograph which will be rather less incompetent than the ones I took with my mobile phone.

 

We wonder how long this market pain shall last, especially as from our viewpoint, the FTSE is painting a surprising picture from a Big Picture stance, one which now paints a future 10385 as a very possible ambition. Overall, we’re forced to regard a distant 10 thousand+ points as a sane ambition. To be quite clear, such an aspiration would be regarded as viable in North American markets along with substantial parts of Europe. But for the UK, we show a relatively near term “shut up & beg” calculation at above 8768 points apparently triggering gains to an initial 8843 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at 8867 points and some hesitation.

These target levels are not particularly ambitious and the tightest stop loss level looks like just 8646 points.

 

As usual, our converse scenario is less cheery, allowing movement below 8645 points to bring a visit to an initial 8368 points with our secondary, if broken, working out at 8235 points. Unfortunately, these drop targets make a lot of visual sense, a detail for which we thank the Bank of England.

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq   With the ascention of Mr Trump onto the throne in America, we’d expected the price of crude oil to take an immediate hammering, something which has been absent thus far. However, recent days have witnessed some weakening of the market and now, a fairly firm argument is taking shape pointing at reversal. However, as if sensing this, Mr Trump managed to toss a spanner into the Middle East works with his plan to annex Gaza, expel the residents to other countries, and turn the country – which does enjoy a substantial stretch of beachfront property – into the Riviera of the other end of the Mediterranean. Or perhaps, the largest Disney World on the planet.

The markets appear a little stunned at the initiative as it represents an entirely new way of thinking to resolve the ancient problem of Palestinians. Howls of outrage emanated from the two countries he’d proposed to hold the exiled inhabitants of Gaza, while their country was remodelled from a tunnel ridden scene of destruction. President Trump has effectively called the bluff of Jordan and Egypt, both countries abhorring the concept of allowing a single person from Gaza to enter their country. Who knows how it will all end but instead of throwing a hissy fit, the price of oil actually managed to weaken further! This subtly suggests stability in Gaza is probably the last thing wanted by oil producing companies, visually risking reductions in the price of oil.

 

The immediate situation is fairly dodgy, suggesting weakness below 74 dollars shall provoke reversals down to an initial $69 with our secondary, if broken, an eventual splashdown at a potential bottom of 60, level at which the visuals favour a rebound. There is however a greater risk, should the 60 dollar level break, our third level presenting itself as a firm, potentally giving a third level target as a point from which further drops are possible. Our “issue” comes from the salient detail anything below 50 dollars will face sharp reversal to just 5 dollars. If this scenario breaks out, the tightest stop looks like 77 dollars, if adopting a wait and see policy.

Aside from the brief Kamikaze flickers on Twiiter, the price of Brent has nothing suggesting such a negative disaster is pending but instead, “standard” reductions down to the 60 dollar level.

 

In the event the price of Brent somehow manages to exceed the 77 dollar level, our initial ambition works out at $88 with our secondary, if beaten, making a guest appearance at a fairly impressive $95. The visuals for such an event will confirm the stuff is essentially stuck in a trading zone between 95 dollars and 69 dollars, a picture which has been quite repetitive since 2023. However, with President Trump proposing something truly new for the Middle East, we question if oil prices shall do something new as well?

#FTSE #SP500  A chum recently bought a house and, upon clearing the very overgrown rear garden, discovered she’s also the proud owner of a faded red BT phone box. This relic of happier times in the UK was spending its retirement, hidden behind some fencing panel, a reminder of a simpler world which existed before broadband, cell phones and the age of instant communication. It transpires this reminder of a bygone age brings another set of problems, essentially a question as to how the heck it can be moved. The antique weighs around 3/4 of a ton according to Google but there’s a chance it has been in-situ since a new road was built in the village. Houses which backed onto the old road adopted the land, there being an old black and white snapshot of the garden with the phone box visible beyond some bushes. As a result, while it’s devoid of any communications equipment, the thing is doubtless still bolted onto a lump of concrete or whatever, defying efforts from various homeowners to move it. Instead, it became easier to hit it behind fencing panels!

Thinking about it, the decline of the traditional BT phone box is part of the reasoning for “hate speech” and the rise of the so called “right wing” in the UK. With  newspapers and telephone boxes no longer being the way in which ideas could spread, more instant idiotic communications have become the order of the day! When it was once the case an angry letter from Mr Nutter in Chelmsford complaining about something stupid and trivial was once dismissed by a lowly staff member in a newspaper office as the work of an idiot, such a filter no longer exists. Equally, the Red Phone Box allowed person to person communication without a wider spread of daft ideas but nowadays, anyone armed with a smart phone can allow their “good idea” to vomit all over the internet with a silly posting on X, Facebook, Reddit or multiple internet chatrooms, nobody existing to delay matters with a cooling down period or an extended pause between the “good idea” being disseminated among a wider audience.  Instead, politicians have invented “hate speech” and “far right” in an effort to legislate against something which has always existed, human beings being human. As we’re currently seeing in America, the kickback against such political idiocy is playing out with a common sense approach to rule making.

Who knew, it was all the fault of the innocent little Red phone box?

 

BT have a share price which hasn’t been faring well in recent years. Personally, we’ve despatched the idea of our home “phone number” to history, deciding it’s no longer needed. This was not an easy decision, growing up with home phone numbers such as “Lochcar** 001” or “Giff***k 0589” have proven impossible to forget. It’s entirely possible these numbers are still allocated, an area where BT missed a trick as the company should have embraced the DVLA’s trick of selling vehicle number plates to a public eager to buy “personalised” memorable home telephone numbers. However, despite themselves, BT managed to exist as a company by ignoring every good idea which wandered past the corporate single monopolistic brain cell, even ignoring the internet at one point, given an entry window for cable broadband to flourish. We suspect, at some point soon, BT shall be forced to admit a substantial decline of “monthly line rental” fees is hitting their pockets hard.

For this reason, we don’t entirely trust the BT chart as while it shows the share price as breaking free of the downtrend since 2016, there is a panic level at 117p, a point below which things risk going horrible wrong for the brain-dead behemoth,  giving an initial drop target of just 52p with our secondary, if broken, an impossible -52p. We still despise BT as over the years, they proved to be a lazy company slouching in a pit of corporate monopoly greed, unable to see the future. The future was available in Day-Glo block capitals with the dire America Online or Compuserve. Rather than investigate the potentials, BT chose an attempt to strangle the internet by making higher data speeds impossible except for very few privileged locations. This attempt was to prove one of BT’s most glorious failures, the explosion of BT fibre optic cable boxes being evidence of an initiative which was delayed by around 15 years.

 

On the basis the market still adhere to the illusion of happier times ahead for BT, their share price needs exceed 162p to hopefully trigger recovery to an initial 189p with our secondary, if beaten, at an impressive 219p, a price level at which we shall need take a hard look at their future due to an eventual 293p being seen as exerting a gravitic and unlikely influence. We don’t trust BT, a company which tended to trust “hype” presentations from Korea, Japan, and latterly China, rather than real world commentary in computer magazines. Essentially, they explored more rabbit holes than appeared in the movie Watership Down!

 

But, in summary, despite our foul outlook, according to the charts BT still have a future ahead. But personal experience advises caution.

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.
