#Gold #SP500  It’s surely only a matter of days until some politician kicks the doors down in some BAE factory, hoping to get their “Election Battle” photograph while poised on a tank or beside some bombs. There is a certain rhythm to these cliché photo opps, though Teresa May managed to put the scheme of pause when the public appreciated she was no Mrs Thatcher, no matter how big the tank was. Of course, the difference with Thatcher was the tank was proud to be photographed with her, the image finding its was into multiple company publicity materials. It would be difficult to anticipate either of the current combatants for No 10 appearing on a sales brochure, except perhaps as distant cardboard targets on a shooting range.

Times have certainly changed!

It has been a few years since we reviewed BAR Systems Plc, still the largest defence contractor in Europe and rated 7th largest in the world league, a veritable “one stop shop” for those interested in exotic target practice and more. Recently, we learned some respect for military gizmo engineering when a good idea fell apart. A secluded shooting range in our garden allows Olympic class target shooting and it seemed a good idea to attach a cell phone camera to a modest sniper scope, intending to increase the zoom while watching the image via a tablet. The brilliant scheme worked perfectly, a bit of white drainage pipe sliding over the the body of the scope and with amble gaffer tape, the camera stayed put. The result was “just like the movies”, right until the point the trigger was pulled. Then, it all quite literally fell apart, suggesting greater success would be achieved with a weapon which didn’t suffer an extreme recoil. Thus, a CO2 cylinder powered .22 was used, something which just gave a gentle tap of recoil. And nope, it didn’t work. As a result, while writing this, my 3d Printer is producing an entirely new set of mountings which will incorporate both the scope and the old Samsung phone camera. But the real question is, “why bother?” Unless the cunning plan for this summer involved shooting wasps, this level of magnification isn’t needed on the 75 yard range.

 

From glancing at the BAE website, it is almost certain the company produce weapons capable of shooting the wings off a Scottish midge, probably while safely located in Barbados. It’s a throwaway observation but this year is proving extremely bad for a pest which is a greater nuisance than a prospective SNP candidate. Quite literally, on Friday I bumped into 3 Forestry workers making their way down the hill, all equipped with big chainsaws.

“You’re chucking it early?” I asked.

“Bloody Midges,” the guy in the lead said. This was quite worrying as forestry staff are famed for being immune to everything, even tourists. But if a plague of midges was sufficient to get them off the hill, it also made a lot of sense to retrace my dog walking route immediately. It transpires this was the correct decision as apparently the local Facebook community page was over-run by complaints. Anyone coming to Scotland’s West Coast on a summer vacation is strongly advised to pack a product called “Avon, Skin so Soft”. The midges hate it and with apologies to Avon, almost as strongly as most wearers detest the oily coating.

 

This year, BAE recently managed break below their strong uptrend and the company share price feels set for some more fairly slight reversals. Presently trading around 1337, below 1320p risks triggering reversal to an initial 1281 with our secondary, if broken, down at an eventual 1221p. Visually, there is some reason to hope for a rebound at such a point.

Of course, we live in a world where BAE doubtless don’t lack customers as they’re unlikely to express a dislike for any of the wars going on. As a result, our converse scenario is fairly interesting with the share price only needing above 1387 to trigger gains in the direction of 1425 with our secondary, if beaten, at 1489 and yet another all time high. We admit the current series of slight reversals feels more like a deliberate slow down, rather than a real reflection of trading conditions.

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

#Brent #Dax  It’s difficult to pinpoint anything enacted by government recently which actually benefits society. We’ve developed a major hatred for a device called a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a gizmo designed to ensure folk in country areas have economically unrepairable diesel vehicles within 5 years. But a new piece of idiocy is the tag on screwtop plastic bottles,  linking the lid to the bottle.

The apparent “green” theory is we unscrew the caps, throw them away, creating a tsunami of bottle tops which haven’t been recycled. Instead, some government “green” committee has decided to make it impossible to unscrew the lid and take a drink of cola. Instead, we’ve a choice. Give the cap a hard pull and risk piercing your lip with the remaining plastic needle or hold the cap aside and pour the contents into a plastic cup. While driving, of course. By any standards, it’s a frankly stupid initiative, one which could have been sunk by a visit to a recycling centre, where it would reveal the vast majority of bottles have their lids refitted. I’m surely not the only person in the world who’s got a bottle of water rolling around on the rear floor of the car, the top firmly sealed and the contents utterly free of taste. Designing a plastic tag to keep the lid attached to the bottle serves no purpose, other than giving a bunch of “green” idiots an illusion they are being useful. They are not, the cap still needs detached to be recycled as it’s a plastic, whereas the polyethylene bottle has its own shredded destiny ahead.

And thus, if you find yourself in a position of challenging a political candidate with a difficult question, why not select either of the subjects above. You could ask about retail banks share prices, politicians always able to produce a master-class in “the Goldfish” impression as they open and close their mouths without sound coming out. But it’s the apparent inability of politicians to actually do anything useful which causes frustration and for this voter personally, July 4th shall doubtless involve a day at the beach, once the words “none of the above” have been scrawled on the ballot paper.

 

When we previously reviewed Natwest, we cheerfully provided a reason for some optimism, giving share price closure above 315p as providing almost certain hope. In the intervening period, the share has achieved this ambition on three occasions, utterly failing to do anything useful thereafter. Worse, it has created a fairly nasty near term scenario where weakness below 300p risks promoting reversal to an initial 285p with our secondary, if broken, at 278p and hopefully a bounce.

It is probably folly to pretend any optimism until the trough at Westminster refills on July 5th. We can point out movement above 320p now calculates with the potential of a lift to 338p next with our secondary, if exceeded, working out at 335p and almost certain hesitation. But for now, we’re as confident of this as believing politicians shall ever have the courage to unwind some of the ridiculous green regulations which continue to make no sense.

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq Perhaps it’s an election season thing but we must admit we’re experiencing some difficulty making sense out of many recent market movements. At times, such as on Thursday, the look on our faces was probably akin to US President Bidet when he’s searching for a clue as to where (and who) he is. The FTSE had enjoyed a fairly well travelled day, yet market futures from 5pm simply ran out of inspiration.

From our perspective, it was a fairly big deal!

 

The market was “supposed” to reach 8140 points and bounce, according to our Big Picture calculations yet the lowest it achieved was just 8147 points followed by a weak bounce. Sometimes, a price drop bouncing above a target level is an indicator of inherent strength.  What was interesting came from the nature of the bounce, market recovering to around 8170 before effectively spending the next four hours flatlining. With the actual market opting to close the day around 8160 points, we thought we’d witnessed an early signal of Friday providing some upward entertainment but this has not been reflected in after hours futures. Instead, the Futures market ended the day at 8160, causing a degree of head scratching.

If we choose to take a pseudo optimistic viewpoint, perhaps what we witnessed was the Futures market closing stable, creating a situation where the FTSE shall open without the danger of any spike upward or downward, letting the market do its own thing for a change. Should this scenario indeed prove to be the case, some hope is presented with an initial hope movement next above 8165 will next trigger index recovery to an initial useless 8178 points. If triggered, the stop loss can be at 8145 points, fairly tight given our next scale of ambition. In the event 8178 is exceeded, our secondary is more useful at 8207 points. In this scenario, we’re able to give a third tier hope at 8242, along with a fairly strong hope next week shall be upwardly buoyant on the FTSE.

 

As always, we’ve a converse scenario and this one is quite unpleasant, calculating with the threat of weakness below 8145 triggering reversal to an initial 8090 points with our secondary, if the initial target breaks, working out at an unlikely looking 7996 points. In this instance, we rather think Friday should provide a day of gains on the FTSE. Unless, of course, the UK ruling party appoint Truss & Boris to replace the deity PM Sunak, simply because either one of them achieved higher polling ratings than the highly esteemed current Prime Minister.

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

#Stoxx #SP500  Few things get our attention more quickly than when some fairly respected writers start describing a share as “cheap” or a “bargain”. Quite how their vast reserves of wisdom allow them to use such hyperbole utterly escapes us as there is no such thing as a “cheap” share. At best, there’s a balance of probabilities but more usually, it’s a case of how impressed the analyst may have been about whatever ‘Important Presentation & Dinner’ they were invited to. Or maybe they’ve actually done the work and given the fundamentals a seriously hard look.

I’ve an abiding memory of an acquaintance waxing lyrical about a particular hotel group and their hospitality. He and his wife had been flown to a presentation, wined and dined all weekend, the Sunday afternoon spoiled by a 45 minute presentation on the companies plans for expansion. His enthusiasm lacked any bounds, especially as he was now on first name terms with the board. Deciding to wait a week or two after his first enthusiastic article appeared, we presented our (usual) dispassionate look at the companies prospects from our perspective. The prospects were foul, the market already having drawn its own conclusions, and despite a mini share price rally with some positive articles appearing, the writing was on the wall. The usual script was followed thereafter, a profit warning, a panic share price consolidation, but within 18 months they were delisted from the AIM, the company entering liquidation.

 

In any case, how can National Grid be described as “Cheap”. Their share price is at levels repeatedly seen since 2014, so at best it should be described as stable! Here in Scotland, the company are certainly not well thought of, charging producers £4.70 per MWh to connect, along with £7.36/MWh to connect in the Scottish Highlands. Meanwhile, in Englands and Wales, the same action is currently just 49p and in the south of England, electricity generators are actually paid by National Grid to connect to the grid. Unsurprisingly, Scotland has the most expensive electricity in the UK, despite covering 52% of National Grids network, being a net exporter of energy. In summary, are we’re based in Scotland, we obviously have a distinct bias against National Grid, the company complaining the price disparity if due to actions by the UK Government and their hands are tied.

 

National Grid share price is currently down 17% from the point they started 2024, at 1057p. An irritated series of share price movements (circled) toward the end of May saw the share price break below the uptrend since 2018. This is a worry, following on from two strong Gap Down movements by the market and maybe giving early warning for further falls ahead. It’s certainly now the case where below 859p risks triggering reversal to 822p with our longer term secondary, if broken, at 714p. Visually, there’s a fairly solid implication some sort of bounce can be anticipated, should this secondary make a shocking appearance.

 

Our usual, converse, scenario examines what to expect, if National Grid intends head upward. We’re inclined to assign a share price of 950p as a trigger level, one which if exceeded should promote price recovery to an initial 1,000p with our secondary, if beaten, at 1,077p. Thanks to the collection of large gaps, we’re unable to confidently predict anything above 1,077p at present but we shall revisit this in future, if things start to attain any degree of sanity.

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

#Gold #FTSE  When we previously reviewed Eurasia back in August 2021, we projected a drop target of just 10p, an ambition it achieved just a few months later at the start of 2022. Unfortunately, the initial drop to 10p substantially broke this drop target (circled) and despite a bounce thereafter, the share price slithered into the realms of incalculable, a zone where we could no longer work out any sane drop targets.

 

Despite a deluge of emails asking our opinion of what’s going on at present, about the best we can give is a deep intake of breath as price movements look like they reflect over-enthusiasm from internet chat rooms. Essentially, the ebb and flow of price changes has the usual 30 minute surge based on optimism in chatrooms, inevitably followed by reversals due to selling pressures. But unfortunately, the rises appear unable to adhere with the result, we suspect the share shall retreat back to the levels before any chatroom driver optimism.

Arithmetically, it needs below 2.25p at which point we expect it shall trigger reversal to 1.21p, a level below which we cannot calculate.

 

However, when we review price movements since its recent high, they don’t seem totally random and invariably have created a scenario where some recovery is hopeful. Above 3.8p presently looks capable of presenting a surge upward to an initial 5.1p, not the worst ambition. Our secondary, if 5.1p is exceeded, calculates at 7.4p and almost exactly matches the previous high. Unfortunately, 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 at this point, there’s a reasonable chance they could be utterly wrong. Share price closure around the initial target level of 5.1p is liable to present a game changing potential for the longer term. Hopefully the company don’t start issuing further “We know no reason for recent price movements” RNS’s.

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

.#DJI #Nasdaq  A UK company with a substantial pedigree, FTSE 250 member Breedon are starting to show early signs of some share price recovery. It’s unlikely any enthusiasm is coming from Scotland, however, with the company’s 37% ownership of Bear, the company who fail to maintain Scotlands roads on behalf of the Government. Locally, it’s quite a big deal, the A83 being a primary trunk road yet the most useful thing the company has done is emplace a massive LED sign to advise locals if the road is open or not. This discrete sign, complete with maintained generator, has been disappointing folk for 5 years as we already know heavy rain is followed by a landslide.

This lack of road maintenance also makes itself known in other ways by causing MOT failures. Modern diesel vehicles employ a device called a Particulate Filter, a gizmo designed to be self cleaning when an engine is run at higher speeds for 30 minutes or more. Argyll, the largest region of the UK, is noteworthy due to its utter lack of motorways. The “A” class road which Bear Scotland fail to maintain used to provide a route for a high speed run, a facility which is no longer available. And as a result, folks cars are failing MOT’s, due to Particulate Filter warning lights. The immediate fix is to remove the bulbs from the dashboard or cover the indicator with a bit of plastic but it’s still a real nuisance, affecting vehicle performance and fuel consumption. Our own household, with 2 Toyota 4WD’s, has a fix and we tried it today. Both cars are due MOT tests, so we took both across to the mainland and dropped one off at an MOT testing station in Edinburgh, following a fairly high speed drive across the central belts motorway. Though the dashboard light for a DPF fault was still on, scissors and a small square of black Duct tape cured the issue. The other 4WD is being left, when we return to collect the original vehicle.

There’s no doubt this Diesel Particulate Filter scheme is a spectacular failure by governments, keen to pretend they’ve worked with manufacturers to “do something”. All the poisonous gunk in the filter is burnt out in a hot orgy, once the vehicle runs at over 60mph for 30 minutes. The concept is frustrating MOT stations, motor mechanics, and car owners who face an automatic MOT fail if a warning light is visible on their dashboard. And in our own region – Argyll – Breedon Group (owners of the company who don’t maintain roads) conspire to ensure the only high speed route is generally unavailable. Did we mention it rains in Argyll? Always has, always will, and someone has even built the framework for The Ark at the top of a local hill.

 

And thus, it saddens us to suggest something positive may be happening with Breedon’s share price!

It’s currently trading around 100p below the pre-pandemic figure of 5 quid and playing footsie with a downtrend since 2021. There are signs it wants to enter a price recovery phase but we’re inclined to suggest waiting to see if the share price manages above 409p as things should happen. Movement such as this should hopefully trigger a gain cycle to an initial 495p with our secondary, if beaten, a longer term 559p and almost certain hesitation. But it’s funny, we never appreciated we could dislike a company, simply due to a big LED sign reading “Rest & Be Thankful Closed”.

Perhaps the landscape has become worn out, due to the number of tourists taking photographs of the world famous incredibly spectacular scenes. We note, without comment, Breedon Group also own a majority stake in a company tasked with providing Traffic Management Services. So they even make money out of the signs which advertise their subsidiary isn’t doing its job… But to be fair, Breedon Group appear active in the rest of the UK, often with considerable success. Plus, what’s not to like with a company whose trading epic is named after our favourite cheese, Brie.

#FTSE #GOLD Our local petrol station doesn’t muck around when it comes to fuel prices. With Brent spending this week below the 80 dollar level, we shouldn’t have been surprised to see Cothouse Services here in Argyll flogging diesel for just £1.38/litre and £1.32 for Petrol. But while across on the mainland today, Tesco were trying to convince me to pay £1.49/litre for the same stuff. It used to be the case fuel in the Islands and Highlands was always sold at eye-watering prices, the blame given to our remoteness. Nowadays, the tables have turned, the local saving paying for the rip-off ferry fares!

Maybe it shall be the case lower fuel costs will make folk feel better about the markets, perhaps exerting some sort of influence on the FTSE which, similar to other markets currently, probably would identify as Magnolia if it was a colour. But we central banks starting to introduce sanity with interest rates, hopefully this shall also been seen as an upward driver for the market in the week ahead. The grudging admissions Government interest rate policy has actually been causing untold damage to economies is amusing but then again, it’s an election year.

Currently for the FTSE, above 8311 should ideally be quite useful, calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 8340 points. In the event such a level gets bettered, we can present an amazing 8405 points as our secondary ambition. This secondary is quite a big deal as market closure around such a point shall make a future journey toward 8537 points very possible.

If triggered, our tightest stop is fairly wide at 8261 points.

 

Our alternate scenario speculates on what happens, if 8244 points breaks. Such a game plan threatens reversal to 8206 points with secondary, if broken, at 8166 points. Visually, there are already fairly strong suggests of some sort of bounce, if either ambition comes to fruition on any initial drop.

 

Have a good weekend and enjoy the hopefully wet Canadian Grand Prix.

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.
