#FTSE #SP500  In news from the town of Reading, it was revealed a man has been jailed for stealing a single £49 t-shirt from JD Sports. Personally, an initial reaction would expect the headline to read “Main detained under the Mental Health Act for stealing a T-shirt valued at £49.” Perhaps I’m being a little cruel but suspect for most folk in the UK, the life cycle of a T-shirt invariably ends with it becoming an oily rag and even then, only once it has suffered punishment duty as bedtime wear for a while.

Maybe a little cynical but unless a T-shirt has been signed by all the members of the UK Royal Family, it would be difficult to attach any sort of value to it. My wife has long ceased buying me ridiculous T-shirts as she appreciated Teletubbies, Tinkerbell, or Trump (for comedic value) would provoke a willingness to look ridiculous. The only time I drew the line were a series of UK political garments as they journeyed directly into their oily rag destination as abhorring anything to do with funding our incompetent UK politicians makes sense. Most of them already know the way to the trough.

Nowadays, probably all our household T-shirts are sourced via Temu, a shopping source which always entertains with their terrible sizing for products, along with incomprehensible designs and slogans. Often suspecting Temu must make charity shops look expensive for this sort of rubbish, an unwelcome opportunity to wander round a shopping mall recently proved “interesting”. Many outlets are retailing product which my wife knew as fact was available via Chinese company Temu, many factors cheaper. While an outlet in a shopping mall does give the opportunity to feel the fabric, it must be asked if the price hike from Temu for a 75p future rag to a shelf priced future rag at £7.50 is questionable. Obviously this is a personal rant as we think Temu actually has a primary aim of earning foreign currency, prior to the company eventually deciding to seek a listing in London or New York. With the companies now legendary quality control issues, it often feels profit is not the real motive.

 

As for JD Sports, it has experienced a pretty awful six months since our review in January. While the share price did achieve our upward targets, at no time has it closed above our secondary of 136p, so we’re a bit jaded if trying to report confidence for the future. There are some early signals something positive may be about to happen.

We’ve chosen to assign 137p as a major trigger level, believing closure above such a level should now prove fairly game changing. Such a miracle would dump the share in a zone where we can calculate future recovery to an initial 161p with secondary, if beaten, at 167p and some probable hesitation, if only due to the presence of the Blue downtrend since 2022. Surprisingly, in the future, closure above this historic trend shall place the share at the mercy of a long term attraction from 232p!

Our converse scenario risks reversal below 110p bringing a visit to an initial 99p with secondary, if broken, a less likely 82p.

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

#Gold #Nasdaq  Sometimes, a company can experience share price movements which almost defy logic, causing us endless irritation as we try and make sense of the nonsensical. #Tullow falls, quite neatly, into this category or perhaps it’s just moving slower than we’d like. Doubtless their share price shall suffer some immediate damage, due to the weakening of Crude, but from a chart perspective, we’re not inclined toward great concern.

From our perspective, this share price requires to slump below 29p to undo the “Big Picture” effort it has been displaying since the start of April. Thus far, it has provided a scenario where movement above 40.3p should next propel the share value to an initial 51p with our secondary, if beaten, an eventual impressive 56p. Unfortunately, one heck of a lot of folk will be jaded with the share price dance since the start of 2023, the market almost declaring openly it was not going to be permitted above 39p. But with the Blue downtrend since 2019 being exceeded at the start of April, the price appeared to have little difficulty in surging to a new high of 40.32, even managing to close the day marginally above the 39p level and thus, giving a strong suggestion this downtrend may be important.

We’re more than a little cynical about the price of crude, believing some emergency or other shall make itself known and be used, as always, to recover the price back into the realms of the $80 level, a price level the market feels quite happy with. As a result, any day now a missile shall probably hit a refinery or store, declared an out of control accident, but the markets will use it as a good excuse to once again inflate the price of oil. In other words, despite there being a strong argument for Brent Crude to drain down to an eventual $71, it feels like the Middle East never has a shortage of reasons to create a panic. It would certainly be fun to see a bunch of the “Just Stop Oil” folks blockading Suez with a bunch of rubber dingy’s with electric outboards.

 

If the market gets serious about reversing Tullow, below 29p would threaten a visit to an initial 26p with secondary, if broken, at 22p and hopefully a rebound.

 

Visually, we quite like Tullow, regarding it as now trading in a zone where a lift to a long term 75p makes a lot of sense, even visually. But it’s also true to suggest their share price movements sometimes make the retail banking sector look like it has discovered how to spell “integrity”.

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

#Brent #Dax  Every now and then, we all make a colossal mistake. Invariably, our most recent involves our little red tractor and the cutting deck. During winter, an idea burst into fruition. I could creating a slot in the side of the cutting deck to allow cut grass to fountain out. It seemed a reasonable idea but the reality has been a mess, a lawn eventually covered with hay rather than the usual clumps of grass waiting for a dog to squirm on. It was all very strange as we’ve two blades, measuring 38 inches, which are supposed to mulch the grass creating a healthy lawn.

Of course, laziness was the reason as there are few things more irritating than two passes of the grass, then stopping to reverse and tip the grass collector. We’d changed to “mulching blades” a couple of years ago and cheerfully ditched the absurd hydraulic collection box. This year has been the first time trying the mulching blades alongside with my new invention of a grass exhaust port on the deck. It transpires, this was stupid, a very real “Read The Friggin Manual” moment due to my winter servicing with a cutting torch making mulched grass an impossibility. So now, this weekend, I’ve been cutting steel plate to weld over my invented cutting deck exhaust, undoing my error and once again forcing the machine to create healthy mulch for the lawn. The annoying thing is being able to write about this in a single paragraph, despite the hours already involved in some heavy and hard work. It was tempting to use our 3d Printer to knock together a cover for the new hole but reality shall ensure it will somehow get sucked into the metre wide blades and eaten.

 

Rather neatly, this brings us to one of the mothers and fathers of colossal mistakes, the UK retail bank known as Lloyds, famous purveyors of horse meat from a black horse… Something quite interesting appears to be going on, perhaps finally justifying our three weekly review of the ongoing mess. Goodness knows, over the years, we’re written a huge amount of fertilizer about Lloyds as it carefully has avoided doing anything useful.

 

Last time we reviewed Lloyds, we’d given 55.8p as a fairly major target and it’s been ambition easily achieved. Now, there’s a visual risk of things going a little wrong as the share price has suffered a GaGa, a Gap Up followed by a Gap Down. This particular market dance step, almost unique to the UK market, calculates with an interesting possibility, one which suggests an attempt may be underway to “slow” down the pace of Lloyds movements for reasons we don’t get. But the immediate situation is one of mild catastrophe with movement below 54.4p potentially triggering reversals to 53p with our secondary, if broken, at 51.4p. Unfortunately, thanks to the width of the gapping movements, these numbers, especially the secondary, enjoy a 0.7p error potential.

Over the years, we’ve had plenty of time to map these GaGa events and they’re usually quite reliable. In this instance, should it trigger, we’d actually hope for a bounce above our 51.4 secondary as the market appears to be anointing that blue line with a degree of importance. And of course, should the market opt to Gap Lloyds upward at the open anytime soon, all bets are off as guesswork will be needed to map any fall.

 

In the less likely event the market continues some sort of upward push against Lloyds, above just 56p should now make an effort to attain 57p next and visually, some possible hesitation. Our secondary, if bettered, calculates at a suspiciously precise 58p but, in the event the share price closes above 57p, it enters the realms of a longer term cycle to an impressive 68p.

#FTSE #Gold  Friday should prove interesting as unsurprisingly, the political trial of Mr Trump found him guilty of everything. Given the guy was effectively banned from defending himself and the prosecution waited until the end of closing arguments to reveal their imagined justification for the court case, something appears truly wrong with American law. A sneaking suspicion, should Mr Trump win the election, a similar trial shall kick off against Mr Biden and provide weeks of entertainment.

All things considered, Thursday was a strange day, the FTSE showing further upward movement while the USA threw a bit of a tantrum. Here in the UK, even the AIM market is starting to give positive signals for the rest of this year, making a visit to 860 points fairly believable with the obvious potential of many AIM components starting to do something useful. Unfortunately, until such time the AIM is trading above 980, it shall remain at risk of the markets whims but visually, we like how it looks.

Needless to say, we’ve got a “however” and it comes from the DOW, a market which is tottering on the edge of reversals to around 35,500 points. It hasn’t ticked the final box yet but the chart visuals are not pleasing, making it feel like the US is only a bad news story away from provoking reversal of a few thousand points. As for the FTSE, it is now trading in a zone where we cannot be aghast if it eventually finds its way to 8.600+ points. The UK would need below 7,600 points to spoil the party.

 

For now, despite some fun and games this week, the FTSE looks capable of presenting further upward travels.

Above 8255 points near term apparent should trigger movement toward an initial 8324 points. Our secondary, should this initial ambition be exceeded, calculates at an eventual 8369 points. If triggered, the tightest stop looks like 8205 points, fairly wide but about what could be expected given the risk/reward potentials.

Our converse scenario, if things decide to go wrong, suggest below 8204 points triggering reversal to 8182 with our secondary, if broken, working out at 8153 points and an almost certain rebound.

Have a good weekend, a difficult one as there’s no Monaco Grand Prix to trigger a good nap. Though, in our case, we watched the final 4 episodes of ‘Clarkstons Farm’, a series which had the ability to disappoint, when realising the final episode it “it” for this year.

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

#Gold SSPG   It transpires there’s a reason for the “sameness” around the world, a feeling of familiarity among many airports often giving distinct déjà vu. The culprit is FTSE 250 member #SSP_Group, describing themselves as The Food Travel Exports, the best part of the journey, their varied brands of shops and food courts decorating airports, rail stations, even some motorway service stations, in 37 countries worldwide.

It’s a bit amusing as airports are a single place where visitors only want one thing, to get out of the place. Yet this company have carved themselves a niche market and despite the decline in air travel, continue to expand most recently into Indonesia. We admit to stalking aviation related companies in the hope of discovering the gem which shall give an early clue the airline market is about to start some proper recovery. After all, it makes sense the enforced petri dish of mass travel shall probably experience rapid acceleration, when things finally kick off.

Alas, our immediate review of SSP Group fails to yield any immediate succour but there is a small hint needing very little movement which should give an initial indication SSP may be shuffling into position for some recovery.

 

We’ve an immediate scenario which proposes above 179p should prove capable of triggering an initial, tame recovery to an initial 186p. While in itself, such a pathetic movement is useless to traders, it should recover the share price above the Red uptrend since the manufactured pandemic low of 2020 at 136p. The years since have seen, similar to the airline industry, many false starts but we shall now be especially interested if this once again regains the uptrend. In a box ticking contest, movement such as this shall definitely tick the first box.

Only if the price manages above 186 do we expect things to become useful, giving the potential of a continued rise to an initial 214p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at 230p and some potential hesitation due to the price finally beating a downtrend since 2021.

However, there is a remaining problem and it’s the cycle upon which the share currently finds itself. It is trading in a zone where reversal below 160 threatens a trip down to 136 and a mirror image of the low of 2020. Hopefully it would discover the means to display a bounce from such a level as our secondary, should the initial break, works out at 111p and the suggestion of a future in the wilderness. But for now, we’re keeping an eye on them and hoping this share price shall prove capable of warning the aviation market is finally sharpening its fangs.

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

#Brent #Dax   As we all enjoy the various antics of UK political parties, seemingly doing their best not to be elected, it seems only a matter of days before one of the parties announces being “Sent to Rwanda for Speeding” or Fines for using the wrong pronouns.  Actually, the last one may not be entirely unlikely as it’s the ridiculous law here in Scotland, a place where a politician once made the suggestion of sending “illegals” to live on an island, a concept immediately demolished as a potential vote loser and likely to fall victim of Human Rights rules. With the recent quality of weather, that may not be entirely inaccurate.

 

Despite the entertainment of a UK General Election, retail bank share prices continue to provide their own sideshow. Thankfully, Natwest has finally opted to close above 315p for a few trading sessions (ten in total) giving us fairly substantial hope the game has changed for the share price and finally, the correct set of circumstances should witness some proper price movement.

From our perspective, Natwest is finally trading in a zone where our ‘post-pandemic’ theory allows a future price target at an impressive 549p!

We’ve a surprising immediate scenario, where we can now propose closure once again above 315p should prove especially interesting, expecting a movement cycle to commence to an initial 350p with secondary, if bettered, at 381p. Obviously, the retail banks all suffer from the threat of deliberate political interference and in an election year, this threat is more blatant than BBC bias.

 

If trouble lies ahead, closure below 292p will ring enormous alarm bells, presenting the potential of reversal to an initial 274 with our secondary, if broken, working out at 239p. But for the longer term, thanks to it already closing above 315p, we’re hopeful the game has changed for the bank and the future only requiring oodles of patience, almost worse than watching the boring Monaco F1 races where even a competitor commented he should have brought a pillow for the car cockpit.

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

#FTSE #WallSt   As we trudge through the rain to the final week of May,  the market has echoed the mood of the weather but we’re a little hopeful things shall again improve. After all, here in Argyll, Scotland, summer generally happens during May & June so perhaps the FTSE shall choose to replicate our mood. But only if things improve. One interesting aspect of the reversals the most recent four days achieved. The market low of 8332 points was pretty much an exact journey to a bottom, a point from which we’d hope for a proper bounce.

Strange to note, last Friday we’d given an initial drop target at 8384 with secondary, if broken, at 8368 points. To keep everyone amused, on Tuesday the index reversed to 8384 points, then supplied a 40 point bounce. But before the bounce, the index briefly broke below our target level in a movement which, from our perspective, meant any bounce shouldn’t be trusted. The next day, Wednesday, saw the market venture down to our secondary target at the open of trade and chose to break below for a few minutes. But once again, it bounced, this time by 30 points.

So once again, we were justified in distrusting what was coming and Thursday didn’t disappoint. Had we been writing publicly about our expectations, folk would have seen the private note to our customers; “shall not be surprised if the FTSE experiences reversals to 8330 before kicking off a bounce”

Now, as we approach Friday with the market not making it below 8330 points, we’ve some hope for a day with some market gains!

 

In the hopeful scenario of our theory being correct, above 8365 points is supposed to kick things off, giving an initial utterly useless target of 8375 points. Our secondary is quite a bit more useful at what we describe as a “longer term” 8408 points. We’ve opted to sneak in this caveat, following the results from last Friday which, as shown above, took 5 trading days to come to fruition. In normal circumstances without the background noise of world events and the contrived political news due to a coming UK election, conventionally we’d be giving 8408 as an initial target with secondary, if beaten, at 8467 points but recently, the FTSE has been quite stingy with the width of movements.

 

Should the market discover a reason for things to go pear shaped, now below 8330 looks a bit troubling, threatening reversals to an initial 8285 points with secondary, if broken, at 8225 points.

Have a good weekend and enjoy Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday. Unless it rains in Monaco, the actual race shall doubtless be worth avoiding.

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.
