#Brent #WallSt  Our previous review of Natwest appears to have proven rather prescient, Mr Trump indeed becoming President Elect of the USA and Natwest indeed reaching our initial and secondary targets, the bank even managing to fail to close a session above 394p with the bank retreating under its rock to dwell in the realms of incredulity. The big deal comes from the fact a victory for Mr Trump is supposed to signal a release of the chains dragging the retail banking sector to a standstill.

Glancing at the USA banking sector, optimism certainly appears to be the order of the day but, almost inevitably, the UK isn’t quite as positive as the USA or even Europe. Don’t get us wrong, Europe isn’t exactly ecstatic but doesn’t feel like an unexploded bomb either. Bitcoin, also lauded as a potential leap into the future should Mr Trump win the election, is unsurprisingly making headlines, managing above $80k on several sessions, creating a situation where we can suspect above 81,940 can next attempt a visit to somewhere just above $86k as a new high. Should such a level be achieved, we’ve quite a strong reason to suspect some hesitation as our Big Picture secondary is absurd at $125k in the longer term. Even by Bitcoin standards, this is a massive expectation, making us suspect the $86k level shall be used to define a new trend for the fake currency.

 

Of course, it is always the case to anticipate the worst from the UK, companies literally trying to trade in a country where the government actively legislates against them at every opportunity. The recent increase to the tax on employees is certainly causing some screams in the Financial press and from a private observation (wife works with a US corporate) there are already “good ideas” being floated on how to encourage full-time employees to leave, the aim being to replace each full-timer with 2 or 3 part timers. It is one of these ideas so daft I’d love to report it but unfortunately, the company could easily identify their creative new concept on how to make full time staff utterly fed up. The scary thing, the concept floated across from their offices in New York, giving an impression events in the UK do not go un-noticed and to be fair, it’s a brilliant method to make it impossible to use any type of employment law.

 

As for Natwest Group, we’re a little alarmed at the speed of reversals from our 394p target. It is now the case where below 369 risks promoting reversals to an initial 351p with our secondary, if broken, a very probable rebound bottom down at 328p.

However, we are supposed to be drooling over the future potentials for the bank and now, it need only exceed 397p to encourage recovery to 452p next with our secondary, if beaten, at an amazing longer term 540p. To achieve such a secondary, we suspect the UK shall require a proper government in control. Obviously, the jury is out, due to a distressing lack of candidates from any party – in our opinion.

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

#FTSE #Gold   In a bout of typical behaviour for the UK, on a day when BoE lowers interest rates in a positive movement for business, while the USA has gotten around to electing a President widely regarded as business friendly, the main market behaves as if there has been a deluge of bad news. The only fly in the ointment was the BoE deciding to blame the recent UK budget as causing a risk of inflation, quite ignoring their own unparalleled success in pushing prices upward. When this is added to a UK government which appears to lack the will to do anything about price gouging, perhaps the damage to the FTSE can be regarded as self inflicted.

Amusingly, Elon Musk tweeted (x’d?) the shocking image below on Thursday with an appropriately typical comment regarding the UK.

 

From a near term perspective, the FTSE certainly is producing plenty of cause for concern. Currently, below 8140 points risks promoting reversal down to an initial 8112 points with our secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom – hopefully – of 8049 points. Visually there is undoubtedly the potential for a bounce from 8112 points but we’re perhaps placing hope before common sense, wondering if the powers behind the market reach over and grab the steering wheel to swing from the path being taken.

If triggered, the tightest stop loss position looks like 8165 points.

 

Should a panic change in direction be scheduled, above 8195 points in needed to promote a useless movement to an initial 8209 points. It obviously doesn’t escape our sense of idiocy, this suggesting the FTSE need “only” move by 50 points to perhaps trigger a tame 14 point movement. But should 8209 be exceeded, our near term secondary is at 8231 points

Oddly, if we take a step back and ignore near term gain potentials, the Big Picture is actually fairly interesting and produces some more encouraging target levels. Above 8169 points should apparently be capable of provoking recovery to an initial 8282 with our secondary, if beaten, at 8309 points. We quite like this scenario, especially as it allows an incredibly tight stop loss at 8140 points.

 

Have a good weekend.

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

#Gold #Nasdaq   It looks like we’re crawling toward an interesting end to the week.  Equity markets, already reacting positively to Mr Trump’s victory in the USA, now will hopefully be able to frame a response to a cut in Interest Rates from both the UK and the USA. Popular theory suggests markets sometimes “Price In” these forces, due to them being leaked well in advance, but in the case of the FTSE, even by UK standards the index is toddling off in an entirely wrong direction to suggest anything positive may be happening.

Of course, the Presidential outcome from the USA may also be causing some fright abroad, due to the number of celebrities who’ve vowed to leave the country if Mr Trump wins. Never one to let a bandwagon go past without jumping on, even the ex Scottish PM Humza Youseless has said he will leave Scotland if Mr Trump wins, leaping onto a “leave the country” bandwagon containing Taylor Swift, Cher, Amy Schumer, Sam L Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, and a bunch of other complete nonentities who’ve discovered the true level of influence they wield with the public.

 

J D Wetherspoon have been in the news recently, warning of the damage a near £60mn jump in taxes and costs will do to their business, following the UK Budget. The Bank of England shall surely need accelerate the pace of rate cuts to mitigate the damage being done to business by a larcenous and lost UK government. In other words, a visit to your local Wetherspoon is going to be more expensive but on the bright side, you may almost be able to afford your mortgage.

For us to take any recovery in their share price as real, Wetherspoon needs exceed 712p to tick the first box of hope, calculating with the potential of an initial 778p with our secondary, if beaten, at a longer term 811p. This is quite a big deal, due to closure above 811p potentially triggering a Big Picture movement to 1140p and a need for us to revisit the numbers.

However, that’s about the end of the good news as the share price is in an extremely fraught position, where weakness below 595p threatens travel down to an initial 509p with our secondary, if broken, at 459p and a potential bottom level. Visually, this is currently quite an unhappy share price but then again, who’d run a pub?

#FTSE #SP500   As a fairly long term fanboy of Elon Must, this week has seen me devour two biography titles by Eric Berger, the first one being “Liftoff” and the second being “Reentry”, both titles dealing entirely with the story of SpaceX and how close Mr Musk came to losing everything at one point. In terms of entertainment, the book Liftoff was fascinating and extremely readable, though the writer had a tendency to hero worship each and every member of the SpaceX team. The second book is a little harder to consume as there’s more than a whiff of “how much can I milk this” from the writer as he draws heavily from the first book. Maybe it will improve as I’m only half way through but reading both titles, literally back to back, was perhaps a mistake.

Aside from this, Mr Musk remains an extraordinary individual, capable of pushing himself at a ridiculous rate. With him currently involved in the US Election, while running Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla, the man certainly doesn’t have a track record of backing losers, freely admitting Twitter performance continues to surprise him as he hadn’t expected to make money from the purchase!

 

The US Election and SpaceX, along with an obvious attempt to pad out an article with a diversion, this also has a lot to do with Enquest, simply due to the company share price often moving in concert with the price of crude oil. It feels like uncertainty over the results of the US election shall promote some gains in the price of oil, regardless of the victor. When we match this with the fact their share price recently wandered through a surprise Blue downtrend since 2014, the value has reacted with a degree of logic, creating an interesting situation.

Next above just 12.87p should promote near term gains to an initial 14p, along with the potential for some hesitation. However, share price closure above 14p shall be key for the Big Picture, hopefully enabling a chance for a price rise to 16.5p, along with the share price finding itself drifting in an orbit where an attraction shall apparently be coming from 22p in the future.

Should things intend go wrong, below 11p could be quite troubling, triggering reversal to an initial 7 with secondary at 5.25p. Visually, such a scenario appears unlikely.

 

For now, we’re fairly optimistic for Enquest.

#Gold #Nasdaq   As we’re on the day of the UK’s Guy Fawkes day, along with the US election, it makes some sense for us to review one of the more accomplished firework manufacturers in the UK. Chemring present a website with an impressive range of flares and countermeasures, a listing which stops just short of “Add To Basket” and “PayPal Here” options. The news the company have won an impressive contract surely shall do the share price no harm, though a victory in the USA for Mr Trump may not be greeted by euphoria, given his intention is to calm down wars affecting his country.

We feel justified in smiling at the description of the contract win, a 12 year framework to supply the energetic components to a German weapons system. Presumably, it’s something better than an animated alarm clock, shaking a sleeping Acme box, while a weapon closes in on a target pasted on Will E Coyote’s back. It’d certainly be a perfect illustration of a British weapon manufacturer bring fun back into war zones…

 

Something seems to be happening with Chemring share price as breaking through a downtrend since 2011 certainly provides some positive perspective for the future. It is currently the case where above just 377p should trigger movement to an initial 417p with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at a longer term 551p. Or to be plain, it is worth watching.

If things intend go wrong, CLOSURE below 350 looks stuffed full of problems as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 306 with our secondary, if broken, at 269p. Visually, such a trauma would return the price into the mess with which it has found itself since 2022, giving an excellent reason for a bounce into the future.

#Brent #WallSt   Regular readers will be aware of a personal delusion of being able to play guitar. A weird chemo side effect caused split finger nails, resulting in any effort to continue my fantasy be abandoned in pain but one of our grand-daughters has decided she needs to resume guitar lessons with me. Her intention is to surprise folk over the festive season with a few well chosen tunes.  Unnoticed, a recent change in drugs had cleared up the fingernail issue, so we’ve been doing “zoom” lessons after school. The intention is to surprise their mum during the Xmas break here with some truly absurd choices of music, completely inspired by the songs their mother will randomly sing at full volume.

The girls are being taught 4 Non Blondes “Whats Going On”, Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, “Hi Ho Silver Lining” and of course, the inevitable Bangles classic “Manic Monday”. One girl doing the acoustic guitar work, the other singing the lead. It’s certainly going to make the hours after Xmas dinner quite interesting.

This ridiculous plan has quite a lot to do with Barclays and the sense of planning for a future. Which may be a disaster but heck, it’s going to be nice going into the months ahead with Barclays armed with some hope, rather than the white noise projected at investors since 2021. The banks share price is rapidly approaching a price level, where it can move from “near term” pressures to “big picture” pressures. From our perspective, the share price needs to close above our next target level, now at 255p, as this should launch the share into a zone where the Big Picture attraction can next be seen as coming from 290p with our secondary, if bettered, a visually believable 390p sometime in the future. While such big jumps to target levels may sound a bit silly, when share prices make the transit to “Big Picture” influences, we’ve become quite used to these ‘why did that happen?’ level of price movements.

If things intend go wrong, below 216p looks a bit troubling, allowing for reversal to 203 with secondary, if broken, at 187p and carrying the risk of the share price once again being “parked” while awaiting the next excuse for party time. For the present, we’re fairly optimistic.

#FTSE #GOLD  The FTSE appears to have broken trend and not in a good way. While the UK’s recent budget would be easy to blame for the market decline, if only due to the government opting to increase the tax on jobs created to 15%. Employers National Insurance Contribution (ENIC) is often felt to be a particularly unfair tax, a fee payable regardless of the income or profit level of a company, quite literally a penalty for every job created and probably the definition of “stealth tax” simply due to the naming convention. It’s also been noted the VAT rate has not been moderated from its emergency lift to 20%, this tax originally levied to produce the UK’s contribution to the European Union and despite the country no longer being a member, VAT remains at punitive levels.

And worse, we still suffer idiotic EU rules as witnessed by these awful bottle top ties…

At best, we can only guess the markets are flopping around as due to ridiculous USA election fever, the markets completely failing to know how to react from one day to the next. Thursday, with Democrat biased CNN producing large swings for Harris at the obvious expense of Trump, giving markets everywhere an excuse for a decline. The Dow Jones, for instance, finished the session at 41,763 and in a zone where the next few days points to a potential bottom of 40,600 points, a nice tidy 1,000+ point gift across the next few sessions. The only problem, there’s a US Presidential election blocking the path, promising making the 5th November fireworks quite spectacular while the real thing breaks out across the pond. Our worry comes from the number of Democrat leaders in multiple US states calling Trump the next Hitler. As a result, it becomes very possible some states shall create a situation where they refuse to certify “Hitler” as their next president, causing fireworks!

 

The FTSE appears to have joined world markets in being nervous about North America and there’s still time for a surprise recovery before a painful plunge. From our perspective, any surprise recovery requires exceed 8,150 to derail a drop to 8,046 and a fake bounce but, should 8,046 break, we shall anticipate the UK experiencing a bottom at an eventual 7,971 points and a bounce. In this scenario, it looks possible a stop loss level at 8,150 shall prove sane, if we work on the basis some sort of fake short term bounce is ahead.

 

Of course, the question must be asked of what to expect, should 8,150 be exceeded?

In such a scenario, we can calculate the potential of a lift to an initial 8,255 points with our secondary, if bettered, at 8.333 points. Overall, this dumps the UK index in a zone where an eventual breakout to 8,502 points becomes possible, perhaps suggesting the US has indeed elected Guy Fawkes as president. As always, we live in interesting times and with the Brazilian Grand Prix, the weekend might be interesting!

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
