It’s easy to think of Bae Systems as the company where famous names in manufacture go to fade away and be forgotten. As the ultimate successor to so many famous British manufacturers, the company enjoy a back catalogue of enviable #1’s in the fields of aviation, electronics, and shipping. They are also the largest manufacturer in the UK, despite the efforts of various governments over the years.

When we reviewed Bae last year, it was with an expectation the war in Ukraine would prove to be a “nice little earner” for the defence contractor, a suspicion which has so far failed to become a reality. There’s nothing pointing to any immediate danger for the company share price, just a glacial pace of movement. For instance, when we ran our analysis in July 2022, the share price was trading at 826p. At time of writing, it’s at 856p, making its way up a hill which visually isn’t very steep. Our expectation remains of gains for the share price but rather than a stop-watch, we’d suggest using a calendar, if attempting to guess when some real movement is coming.

 

Our “problem” is fairly straightforward.

Share price gains exceeding 880p now point at an initial ambition of 947p, a target level arrived at by two different calculations, based on conventional near term scenario, along with a Big Picture scenario. Normally, we’d suspect a sudden spike upward will occur but, with Bae, our confidence is lacking as it looks like patience shall be key for the future. Our secondary above the 947p level now calculates at a distant 1004p.

 

If everything intends go wrong, the share price needs below 720p as this looks capable of triggering reversal down to an initial 630p with our secondary, if broken, working out at a potential 550p and hopefully a proper rebound.

#Gold #SP500

Something appears to be going wrong with 888’s share price, an unfortunate turn of events for a company choosing to name themselves after a number regarded as important in numerology, promising prosperity, etc etc. By all means, do some research but it’s a very, very, deep rabbit hole. The company share price plunged, their CEO resigning, words like Money Laundering and Legal Probe now bandied around, along with a 27% drop in the share price value.

 

The visuals suggest this particular horror story in the betting industry may have some distance to run as the future looks far from certain. Currently, the situation exists which suggests travel below 72p has high odds of reaching 58p next and hopefully, some sort of bounce. At time of writing, the share is trading around 75p, so it doesn’t need drop far to trigger the next potential calamity. It’s what happens below the 56p level which gives greater concern.

In the event 56p breaks – and it’s perhaps a good idea to wait for closure below 56p – our Big Picture report calculates the prospect of a race downhill to an eventual ultimate bottom of just 11p.

 

If the share price intends buck the odds and make an attempt to flee the course, it currently needs trade above 83p to allegedly trigger recovery to an initial 88.5p. If exceeded, our secondary calculation comes in at 105p, along with a verbose apology from the market for getting things wrong and overcooking the price drop. We are inclined to suggest NOT holding your breath, if hoping for this secondary movement.

#Brent #Dax 

Since 2017, watching Governments come and go in the UK, along with uncountable senior politicians jobs, has been substantially more interesting than watching share prices amongst the retail banks. Thankfully, there are signs this is changing as the banking sector appears to be waking up. Fortunately, comedy relief amongst politicians remains as vibrant as ever with Scotlands Nicola Sturgeon doubtless counting her lucky stars, political events at the Downing St trough, London, eased the spotlight off her, for now.

 

The Big Three retail banks hopefully prove more capable of keeping their hands cleaner than politicians as all continue to look poised for some reasonable price recovery. With Natwest, the next hurdle appears to be a demand the share price CLOSE a session above 328p, above the high which started the immediate downtrend and taking the share price into a zone where upward movement shall prove difficult to resist.

Of course, the path isn’t going to be all wine and roses, especially as Natwest still has to enact a panic reversal. For some reason, many shares feel the need to reverse once they’ve broken through a major downtrend such as Natwest exhibit and as a result, we’ll not be surprised if the share price doesn’t reverse to around 280p anytime soon. The reason is liable to be simple, a bunch of folk exerting selling pressure as they reclaim funds which have been tied up since 2017. It’s only fair to anticipate such a panic movement happening as the share price approached the previous highs from 5 years ago in January 2018. In this instance, as long as any reversal doesn’t close below 280p, our confidence in the bank share price shall remain uncommonly high.

 

For Natwest, our current calculations suggest movement next above 310p should make an attempt at 316p next with our longer term secondary, if this initial target is exceeded, working out at 339p. This, hopefully, should provide sufficient strength to allow closure above 328p, painting a picture of a new higher high, and allowing us to cough politely and start mentioning a distant 471p as possible for those traders with greater reserves of patience than most politicians have jobs.

#FTSE #GOLD

Numbers are supposed to be a personal strong point but, with a wedding anniversary imminent, simple arithmetic proved beyond me. The “problem” with our anniversary is neither of us remember the date of the wedding in the USA, either resorting to looking at the wedding licence or taking an unusual easier option. We count champagne bottles!

Neither of us enjoy champagne but as we were given a bottle in Colorado, it returned to the UK and sat alone in a wine rack, as popular as a British politician at an international meeting. As our first anniversary dawned, my wife thought it funny to buy a 2nd bottle to join the lonely one, accidentally kicking off an annual tradition. We’re now on our 3rd wine rack…

Guess who forgot the initial bottle shouldn’t be counted, when working out which anniversary was due? And worse, defended my position when challenged, until the quite decorative Marriage Licence was flourished, making the balloons utterly redundant. However, there’s one number I’m still fairly confident about and it’s 871 points.

 

Unlike the FTSE 100 or the FTSE 250, the AIM market is now making early signs for true recovery. At present, it’s trading around 865 points and needs only better 871 to enter a cycle, hopefully, to 900 points next with secondary, if bettered, at 944 points. This will regain the uptrend since the pandemic low of 2020, giving considerable reason for longer term optimism across the AIM market. In plain English, it’s a market at the “fingers crossed” point.

 

FTSE 100 The FTSE had an all time high of 7903 points, back in May 2018.

Our reason we’re mentioning this is an attempt to forestall some of the incoherent excitement which shall doubtless occur, due to some immediate potentials on the market. From a near term perspective, we suspect the UK market should exhibit some gains as movement above 7787 points currently calculates with the potential of a lift to 7836 points next with our secondary, if such a target appears, working out at 7885 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like a reasonable 7743 points.

The important detail about both the foregoing target levels is they’re both below 7903 points, the market failing to achieve a true higher high. We can calculate a 3rd level ambition at 7914 points but suggest taking care with any long term commitments (and avoid buying champagne) until such time the UK index actually closes a session above 7903 points. It’s liable to be quite a big deal, confirming a long term attraction at 8240 points.

 

If everything intends go wrong, the index requires an excuse to sink below 7617 points. Currently, below 7712 will give cause for worry, threatening reversals to 7678 points with secondary, if broken, down at 7636 and hopefully a bounce.

Have a good weekend

#Gold #Nasdaq 

We were probably not alone last year, suspecting Sterling intended parity with the US Dollar and the Euro. But despite the best efforts of several UK Prime Ministers during 2022, the Pound resolutely refused to collapse. Perhaps the current incumbent of Downing St shall make a “third time lucky” effort in an effort to make a personal success…

In fairness, Sterling has been recovering slowly from last October’s lows, maybe a reflection of the level of trust in UK politicians, following PM Truss’s efforts to destroy the economy. However, this Forex pairing is now getting very close to a “no brainer” trading opportunity as recovery will be difficult to avoid, should the relationship strengthen above 1.2450.

Above such a visual trigger should now make recovery to an initial 1.2858 a fairly confident proposition. Our secondary, should such a level be exceeded, works out at 1.3338, challenging the Blue downtrend which dates back to 2007. Unfortunately, the only sane stop loss level looks like matching the low of 2023 at 1.1840, doubtless wider than most folk would prefer.

 

If things intend go horribly wrong for GBPUSD, visually below 1.1500 should give early warning for real trouble. Such a drop risks triggering reversal to 1.007 initially with secondary, if broken, at 0.8736.

For now, we are inclined to believe the visuals on the chart, most of which indicate this pairing is due some serious gains.

Some light amusement can be had by visiting the “Controversies” section of HSBC’s Wikipedia page. Basically, it appears difficult for a scandal to roll past the bank without someone uncovering their involvement. Even the recent German coal mining flap, now dropped by the media, reveals HSBC made loans to the miner. As they were part of a consortium of 25 bankers financing multi billion Euro loads, more important questions would deserve being asked, if they were NOT involved.

Another aspect of HSBC provided a surprise, though it really shouldn’t. The company was founded in 1865 by a Scottish bloke, continuing a tradition of an irrational number of large institutions being able to trace their roots back to ex-pats from the Edinburgh banking community. HSBC are regarded as one of the worlds strongest banks, a detail confirmed in 2007 when the financial crisis was starting to smoulder. Required by the UK treasury to increase their available capital, the company immediately transferred £750 million to London, along with lending £4 Billion to other UK banks!

 

However, despite a stonking CV, HSBC share price has tended remain in the doldrums, effectively matching the test of the banking sector. However, with share price movements this year, it appears this homage to mediocrity may be changing.

Elsewhere in Europe and the US, when share prices (and index values) start exceeding their pre-pandemic highs, it has invariably proven as a signal for happier days ahead and in the case of HSBC, it has closed – and stuttered – at the 600p level, visually confirming this is probably a fair trigger.

Movement above 600p looks capable of provoking gains to an initial 635p with secondary, if bettered, calculating at a sane looking 750p. The share price has an obvious downtrend since 2006, one which we’re unable to arithmetically provide a collision zone for the share price. If we’re honest, it’s already the case a distant looking 918p works out as a seriously long term target, hence a suspicion this important looking Blue downtrend shall prove to be a footnote in history.

 

For everything to go horribly wrong for HSBC, their share price needs to close a session below 533p to utterly foul all the foregoing calculations.

#Gold #SP500

As one of these blokes who just doesn’t understand how some things work, ie; washing machines, electric irons, and most recently, a little household device which somehow tests a tiny smear of blood, calling into question a recent medical diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes*. Awe best describes how I feel about the work done by Angle Plc.  It’s easy to be impressed with their gadgets.

 

Just 10 years ago, reporting to “the unit” in hospital for blood tests always was a difficult time.

Firstly (and still unchanged), nursing staff are frustrated lumberjacks, wielding their needles while really wanting a chainsaw. And it’s no less painful when they stab a vein to fill 7 test tubes with blood. Strange to say, what happens next always proved harder to handle, the 90 minute wait while blood is analysed, then a sit-down chat with Mr Consultant. Cancer unit waiting rooms were rarely cheerful places, their very nature producing invisible dark clouds over a bunch of folk, each hoping for the best while dreading the worst.

After perhaps 5 years of tolerating this gloom, a personal decision to “get folk talking” actually worked, usually only needing one outrageous comment to break the ice. For instance, complaining out loud  (with a grin) about the frankly terrifying parking in the disabled parking zone, mentioning a blue badge doesn’t mean you have to park like a beginner, always brings out stories from other guests. With the discovery the waiting room didn’t need to be 90 minutes of silent fear, every monthly visit became a personal mission to allow those who wanted to talk, to talk about anything, other than the real reason we were all there.

And then suddenly, it ended.

Telling the ward sister I was popping downstairs for a newspaper and returning 15 minutes later, Mr Consultant was pacing the corridor, waiting. It transpired the lab had a new diagnosis machine, blood work now being produced in minutes. My unread copy of the Daily Mail went straight into a bin, ammunition for my ad hoc comedy sketch no longer required.

*After a diabetes diagnosis, buying the recommended testing machine managed to confirm my blood sugar levels as normal, regardless of the time of day tested. About the only thing I haven’t tried is run a test while actually chewing a sugar cube. The GP practice confirm they shall again test in a few months, just in case we’d an aberration result.

 

Angle Plc, known for making the Parsortix machine, a device which appears capable of some really clever work in the treatment and diagnosis of various cancers. It’s fairly easy to turn into some sort of fanboy about this sort of thing, after experiencing the horror of prolonged delays for bloodwork results, so perhaps it shall be worth doing some research on their financials from a company value perspective.

From our perspective, there’s something fairly interesting going on.  At the start of this year, the share price hit a low of 22.25p, bouncing by around 50% in the period since. After noting the share price Big Picture calculated with an “ultimate bottom” of just 19p, there’s an obvious hope it has bounced before bottom, thus implying some strength may be present. Obviously, from a future perspective, this is a good thing as perhaps expressing an interest in the share may not carry the risk of catching a falling knife.

Currently, above 34p calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 40p with secondary, if beaten, at a significant 46p.

The chart below describes why 46p risks being significant, giving the share price the opportunity to close above the downtrend from the fall from 160p+ to current levels. We shall need revisit the share price, should it manage to close above the Blue downtrend, due to the future implications potentially being quite positive.

Obviously, a personal bias intrudes in wishing the best for their products but, we do like shares which bounce above their “ultimate bottom” levels.

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.
