#Gold #Nasdaq Investec Plc, listed on the FTSE 250, bear the honour of being the first company dual listed in both South Africa and the UK back in 2002, so they’re far from being new kids on the block. The international banking and wealth management group were named in 2025 as the Best Performing Bank in the UK and 2nd best in South Africa by publication, “The Banker”. We’re inclined to take the accolades with a similar doze of scepticism to their Wikipedia pages, a wonderful entry which paints a picture of a company which could do no wrong!

However, recent share price movements demand we place our sarcasm on hold as something seems to be happening with the company share price, a positive something which is basically in keeping with the feel of the UK’s retail banks. It is probably important to mention the share price has finally closed above the downtrend since 2007. It has also achieved a significant higher high (judged by the important closing price) above anything since 2018. Two fairly important boxes are thus ticked, promising happy days ahead.

Investec share price needs close below 615p to spoil the party for the longer term.

The immediate situation suggests movement above 627p should bring recovery to an initial 642p with our secondary, if beaten, at 689p. While this scenario is pretty useful, a glance at the Big Picture potentials should be more useful, suggesting keeping an eye on Investec until such time the share price actually closes above 642p as – for those with patience – the price should trigger longer term growth to 713p with our secondary, if bettered, at 785p, matching the highs of 2007 and providing quite a sensible visual picture.

This one certainly appears worth watching, whether chasing a Big Picture movement or perhaps a “safer” movement for the relatively near future.

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

#Brent #Dax Last week saw heads explode everywhere, Lloyds Bank share price deciding to drop 5.6% on the news the BoE decided to keep interest rates unchanged! Surely this should have been positive news for bank shares as the can continue to make profits which could easily be described as “windfall”, the sort of thing which generally attracts a smash and grab from the insatiable UK tax authorities. But the market opted to hammer the bank shares, the lack of change with interest rates doing nothing for the UK economy, employment rates, or a stagnant housing market. Perhaps the reality of the Retail Bank, primarily focussed on the UK, suffering due to BoE adherence to a failed economic policy.

There are a few other issues bothering us. When we reviewed Lloyds three weeks ago, we started with an attempt to shorten our article, simply stating above 104 should trigger an initial 113p with our secondary, if bettered, at 122p. The movement to 113p obviously triggered but crucially, the share price failed to close above 113p and this generated an immediate worry from our perspective. Essentially, until such time the share value closes above 113p, any ambitions toward our secondary at 122p (and above) dare not be entertained.

If we’re searching for more problems, Lloyds share price need only slip below the recent low of 105.7p to risk triggering reversals to an initial 99p which looks fairly certain to provoke some sort of bounce. But if the share price makes it below 99p, a visit to a probable bottom of 95p looks strangely confident.

An alternate, less likely, immediate scenario demands Lloyds price exceed 108.8p to provide a lift to an initial 112.5 with our secondary, if bettered, at 117p, once again placing the share price at risk of finding an attraction from our 122p.

Our suspicion, instead, anticipates Lloyds falling to the 99p, then experiencing a quite positive bounce, potentially aiming for our 117p in a series of strong movements, once again placing the share in position for happier days ahead in the longer term. Perhaps, if the BoE does something positive with interest rates in their next coffee morning in 6 weeks time, Lloyds shall find itself motivated to become useful and interesting.

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

#Gold #FTSE In terms of ethics, we’ve some difficulty differentiating between Bank of England behaviour and that of Mandelson, The Prince of Darkness, credited with inventing the current UK Labour Party and being the puppet master behind politicians such as Tony Blair and the current Prime Minister, K Starmer. While Mandelson emails indicate he was communicating Government intentions to his chum, Epstein, was the Bank of England any less guilty in telegraphing their interest rate machinations to the market place.

We’ve joked – before the event – of the BoE encouraging market gains on Wednesday, perfectly aware their forthcoming announcement of “doing nothing with rates” on Thursday would provoke reversals, undoing all the gains from the preceding day.

Wednesday saw the FTSE open at 10,314 points and close at 10,402 points.

Thursday saw the FTSE open at 10,402 points and close at 10,309 points.

From our own perspective, it felt like the BoE had manipulated the marketplace into doing its bidding, giving a gain before expected reversals on the “surprise” news UK interest rates were to remain untouched, continuing the central banks campaign of doing nothing for the economy. The level of “bad taste” generated every six weeks, when interest rate announcements invariably illuminate a central bank which is in business to benefit the central bank, rather than actually do anything for the UK economy, continues to cause frustration. At least the US President is now replacing folk at their Federal Reserve, due to his frustration at their treatment of the wider economy!

This matter is one of our favourite gripes and now, the inactivity of the Bank of England risks provoking quite serious reversals for the FTSE. Sorry about all the numbers which follow but the BoE has pushed over a domino, revealing an unpleasant tier of trouble ahead. Currently, below 10,288 points risks bringing reversals to an initial 10,201 points with our secondary, if broken, at 10,102 points and a level which suggests a potential bounce. However, quite importantly, should 10,100 break, a cycle to 9,820 risks introducing itself, perhaps even an eventual bottom at 9.601 points. Visually, this would look like the BoE was deliberately trying to undo the market gains since the interest rate reductions which punctuated the end of 2025…

Of course, there is the unlikely chance the market shall decide to ignore BoE manipulation, movement above 10,378 risking triggering gains to an initial 10.406 with our secondary, if beaten, at 10,466 points and some hesitation.

Have a good weekend. Only a month to go before the Australian Grand Prix anarchy.

#Gold #DOW The budget airline, Easyjet, grabbed a cheap headline by announcing Rome as a destination from Glasgow, offering a generous 4 flights a week. We’ve fond memories of a flight to Rome, trying out a suggestion from a corporate world travelling chum. The idea is to invent a meeting somewhere in the centre of the destination city, asking the taxi driver to get to the address as quickly as possible, due to the impending imaginary meeting. We’d pulled a similar stunt to kick off a weekend in Paris, the taxi providing an entertaining and fast journey and earning a good tip. Pulling this stunt to head into Rome started to feel like a mistake, within seconds of clicking the car seat belts into place.

Our taxi driver was clearly a retired Formula1 driver, leaving utter anarchy in his wake by overtaking the queue of taxi’s at the airport traffic lights, even before joining the main route to the tourist hell which can be Rome. Thirty minutes later, we were outside our destination hotel, the superb journey a complete blur of flashing lights and horns and the taxi driver looking like he’d need visit a hospital to extract his grin. This time, it was a “better than good” tip given but tellingly, we used the train for the return journey to Fiumicino airport.

This particular method of kicking off a holiday weekend at a foreign capital city once had an unusual result. We’d returned to “Glasgow”, the airport actually situated 30 minutes away from the city and were (mildly drunkenly) curious how fast an airport taxi driver could move to get into Glasgow east end. To make a short story shorter, within 20 minutes we pulled up outside the Ubiquitous Chip restaurant, the taxi taking a truly unusual route to exit the airport and by-pass the local town. A few minutes later, we slid under the River Clyde and sneaked into the East End. No fuss, no bother, no speeding, just an old school taxi driver who actually knew the best routes. In local vernacular, it would be a case of “that’s youse telt”.

Nowadays, a bit more grown up, no longer wasting money on adventure weekends abroad. We gravitated to new and even more wasteful methods of wasting money, such as buying a fairly big boat and using it as a weekend holiday home. The learning moment was boat depreciation can make the value drop of cars feel generous and miserly. We eventually decided to move to Argyll, ensuring every minute is now spent by the sea in our reasonably priced cottage. Regular readers will know we sometimes mention Argyll weather, regretting our cottage cannot be untied from the shore to allow us to go somewhere drier. And this isn’t a joke, across the sea estuary in Ayrshire, the landscape lacks mountains with the result they enjoy fabulous weather without aggressive scenery! But on the “bright” side, I’ve carved slalom tracks down our snow covered rear lawn.

As for Easyjet share price, since the pandemic drop of 2020, the value has done very little to escape from the gutter. If we play with trend lines, it even looks like it could be around the end of this year before Easyjet is visually forced to do something with their share price, escaping the more recent three years of lethargy.

From an immediate perspective, above 515p has the potential of triggering gains to an initial 535p with our secondary, if bettered, at long term 592p.

Unfortunately, our alternate scenario has alarm bells ringing at 467p, warning of triggering reversal to an initial 434 with our secondary, if broken, at 3832p and hopefully a reason for a bounce.

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

#FTSE #STOXX50 The car site, Autotrader Group, are experiencing share price movements which suggest the company must be mentioned extensively in the Epstein files! With a slightly lacking degree of salaciousness, the drop in price is unfortunately being blamed on the companies adoption of AI, rather than anything to do with “Pizza Delivery” vehicles. If the terminology behind the female human trafficking is to be believed. However, Autotrader managed to introduce an obligatory service for their advertisers, allowing website users to “reserve” vehicles and thus, effectively removing them from sale.

This act provoked a backlash from advertisers who were keen to remind Autotrader of the fact alternatives to their service exists, such as Motors.Co.Uk. It’s easy to believe a punter, at 2am and the consumer of several glasses of cider, stumbles across their dream car, freshly polished and appearing for the first time. After all, who wouldn’t want a Caterham 21 sports car, a full bodied alternative to the Caterham (Lotus) 7, a vehicle which could be used daily. In a blink, a drunken punter could remove it from sale by “reserving” it, an initiative without any actual commitment. Motor traders were far from happy and Autotrader recently did the extremely unusual thing of apologising for their innovation, somehow contriving to blame AI and thus joining a few other companies experiencing a bit of a meltdown.

The immediate situation with Autotrader is pretty grim, suggesting ongoing weakness below 498p shall promote ongoing reversals to an initial 418p with our secondary, if broken, a fairly damaging 274p. This would indicate a return to share price levels not seen since their launch back in 2015…

There is very little positive to be said about recent price movements, other than to suggest the share needs currently CLOSE a session above 546p to perhaps trigger recovery to an initial 638p with our secondary, if beaten, at 684p. Whether it is indeed AI or just a stupid corporate “Good Idea” which got out of control, the future certainly looks as messy as if they had indeed been named as some sort of Epstein contributor.

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

#Gold #SP500 Our Golden Retriever finally managed to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. A career as a sheepdog awaits. This epiphany came about when a dozen sheep escaped their enclosure, stampeding through the field and finding themselves facing a single obstacle at the start of the lane which leads to the main road. It was my elderly dog, her age making her completely unable to make a run for it. Instead, she stoically faced the gang of sheep, all of whom came to a skidding halt, a serious stare-off developing. My girl, her legs doubtless sore from standing still, decided to sit down while maintaining eye contact. This proved too much for some of the pack, the sheep fragmenting back into the field where the shepherd was inventing profanities while shouting at the flock. She’d been using her dog to tackle another couple of the fluffy nightmares which were dangerously close to the river.

My dog decided to lie down, watching the shepherd (and her sheepdog) guide the enter pack of sheep into another enclosure, and was clearly pleased she’d successfully stood her ground against a mob of brainless runaways. When the shepherd awarded her with a “Good Girl” headrub, my golden girl had a distinct swagger as we walked to our parked car. Who knows, maybe it wasn’t all an accident but I did discover what my dog wants to be.

The subject of a few emails, Bunzl is a little bit harder to define, using some exquisite concoctions of language to conceal their pretty boring core business. The extract below from their “About Us” section of the website explains things clearly but only if you work for Bunzl and know what they actually do.

They sell janitorial equipment, cardboard boxes, and other stuff…And with some disappointing results from North America, are credited with being afraid of “Trump Tariffs” affecting their bottom line in the US.

At present, this is not a happy share price, a strong suggestion of movement below 2,000p provoking reversal down to an initial 1,641 and perhaps a bounce. Or perhaps not as our secondary, if the initial breaks, works out at 1,407p and the risk of a price being trapped in purgatory until such time there’s a material change with the company fortunes.

If happier times are ahead, above 2,112 has the potential to trigger gains in the direction of 2,206 with our secondary, if beaten, at 2,278p. This would emplace the share in an apparent cycle to an eventual 2,454p and a period of potential hesitation. We are not optimistic for their future.

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

#Brent #WallSt Three weeks ago, we presented an amazingly accurate article about Barclays. Unfortunately, it was only amazing to ourselves as absolutely none of the predictions triggered, Barclays share price remaining delicately below our 493p trigger level as the value virtually flatlined for three weeks. Perhaps the UK central bank shall provide excuse for movement this Thursday but we’re starting to have doubts, due to the recent damaging lack of movement from the US Fed Reserve. Traditionally, the Bank of England embraces any excuse to avoid doing anything to benefit the country, unquestioned by complicit UK politicians.

If we were to bundle together our favourite hobbyhorses, Interest Rate manipulation would be high, closely followed by political incompetence. Though perhaps the weather here in Argyll deserves a serious rank, if only due to the absolute inability of ANY forecasting service to guess what’s really going to happen. All it ever does is rain a lot, except when it is freezing. And sometimes, it’s rather windy too.

However, it’s worth – we think – paying attention to a pretty strong signal exhibited by Barclays, shown on the zoomed in chart extract below. Last year in October, the market opted to Gap Barclays share price above a Blue downtrend. This line from 2007 clearly has inherited some gravitas, the market not only moving the share price above the trend but giving it a little kiss to “back-test the trend” a month later. Quite why this ritual was completed utterly defeats us, especially due to our solid belief Barclays share price now needs close below 389p, the level of trend break, to deserve any real excuse for panic.

It is now the case where, from a Big Picture perspective, we can ask Barclays to trade above 505p to trigger happy days coming, currently calculating with the potential of gains to an initial 537p with our secondary, if beaten, at 599p and some potential hesitation. But overall, share price closure above 505p shall permit us to dream of a future 692p as exerting as much influence as Epstein’s emails are sprinkling across the moral compass of some of the rich and famous.

Should things intend go a little bit wrong, below 468 suggests imminent reversals to an initial 452p with our secondary, if broken, at 441p and a potential bounce.

In the case of Barclays, we suspect our reversal scenario shall be favoured.

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.
