#Gold #SP500

Mr Putin must surely be due a Nobel Prize for Medicine. To judge by media reporting, in the space of just 24 hours, he eradicated Covid-19 as an issue in Europe. Normality, while a bit tongue in cheek, has returned faster than expected. In our weekly trawl of European shares starting to look interesting, Airbus has popped up, maybe thanks to an issue last year.

Our prior report on Airbus last October proposed reversals to an initial 97€ with secondary at 85€. In November 2021, the price reversed to 95 but crucially, did not close a single session below 98 euro and this perhaps indicates some strength. Certainly, in the period since, the price successfully bounced up from the 97 level to 120€ and is presently trading around 115€.

The immediate situation is fairly interesting, suggesting movements exceeding 117 should next promote a change in altitude to an initial 125€, a fairly significant number as it’s a “higher high”. Our longer term secondary ambition calculates at 140€, suspiciously exactly matching the share price highs before the pandemic hit the fan.

Should Airbus plan any form of emergency descent, the share price currently needs trade below 105€ as this works out with the potential of reversal to an initial 95 with secondary, if broken, a less likely trip down to 76€ and hopefully a bounce. For now, we suspect they shall prove worth keeping an eye on as price recovery looks increasingly likely.

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

#Brent #DAX Thursday and Friday of last week surely deserve an award, if only for some of the most blatant manipulation of the FTSE. Somehow, in an impossible session, the FTSE for Friday achieved a day high of 7497.94 points, just 24/100ths below the previous day high. It essentially suggested all the Russia panic was as real as many TV clips were at the start of the Covid-19 panic, the ones showing bodies lying in the streets in China or a military convoy full of coffins from a village in Italy.

Despite the truth eventually emerging regarding fake footage (scenes from a Zombie movie and misrepresented video of a NATO convoy from 2015), once again we’re being bombarded with dubious reports and given the FTSE’s behaviour over the two sessions, it certainly feels like the markets don’t believe a true picture has emerged for whatever is going on. But the behaviour of the markets, along with ludicrous moves in the price of Gold collectively left a very bad smell, due to the almost indecent haste with which Thursdays movements were corrected on Friday. It almost felt like grown ups had returned to the controls, undoing whatever the heck happened on Thursday.

 

Alas, not all of the damage was fixed with Lloyds share price finding itself, suddenly, in a questionable position. The share price was manipulated downward from 52.2p to 48p at the open on Thursday, yet only managed to close the session at 49.68p on Friday. Had FTSE movements been representative of the bank, the share price should ideally have closed Friday at around 52.1p, obviously failing to do so. This has created a situation where we must regard Thursdays movements as a potential (pardon the pun) warning shot for the future, now suggesting future weakness on Lloyds share price below 46p risks provoking reversal to an initial 42.5p with secondary, if broken, down at 32.7p. The market certainly recovered the price above the immediate Red uptrend but should Lloyds manage below last Thursdays bottom, this is the sort of early warning which should really merit close attention.

If there’s to be any meaningful effort to recover Lloyds share price, the first signal should come with near term strength exceeding just 50.25p. Apparently, a movement such as this should trigger recovery to an initial 53.3p with our secondary, if bettered, calculating at a more useful 58.7p. To be honest, we shall not be surprised for the price to experience such levels of recovery, carefully avoiding breaking the Blue downtrend on the chart. And if something happens which genuinely justifies an bout of nerves, such as last week, everything could reverse fairly sharply to an eventual 32.7p.

 #FTSE #Gold Days like Thursday make it easy to question just what the heck were we thinking, buying a house just a couple of miles away from NATO’s nuclear weapon store and the Coulport nuclear base. The big solid mountains across the water are generally thought to sound hollow, if knocked! Usually the place is ignored, aside from the inevitable pretty backdrop when walking the dogs.

But with the media determined to move on from the misery of Covid-19 scare stories, now specialising in Russia scare stories, it’s inevitable some consideration is given to our local big fireworks storage unit.

The FTSE is showing signs of paying attention to the newest mess in the world. We’d been hoping the Russia/Ukraine crisis was posturing designed to keep the price of gas and oil high during the winter months as this would directly benefit Russia. However, everything changed on Thursday and now we’ve got to face the reality of the UK index behaving in similar fashion to events pre-pandemic in 2020. The immediate scenario for the FTSE is pretty straightforward as weakness continuing below 7175 points looks capable of plotting reversal to an initial 7056 points. If broken, our secondary calculation comes along at 6897 points and hopefully a bounce. The FTSE 100 needs above 7320 to cancel these drop potentials.

The problem at the secondary level is the implied challenge from the Red uptrend since 2020’s pandemic plunge. Closure below this trend line carries the implication of recovery from March 2020 failing, instead opening the market up to all sorts of unpleasantness. Just for light relief, we ran some calculations against the risks of closure below 6897 and the numbers proved quite scary, essentially a series of domino falls with a hopeful final destination at 5142 points. Thankfully, this is just speculation but, like most folk, we were horrified at the near 300 point fall on Thursday.

If we’re to experience surprise recovery, the index requires exceed 7293 to give slight hope, calculating with an initial ambition at 7348 points. Our secondary is less certain, working out at 7435 and suggesting the force of reversals has been a little mistake.

 

Have a good weekend and remember, just 3 weeks until the Formula 1 season commences.

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

#France #Wall_st Despite being a dedicated user of a mattress, every single night, the things were never really allocated any thought until, last year, my wife suddenly decided we needed a new one. With pandemic restrictions, it appeared safer to buy online after checking reviews on each product, most suppliers offering solid guarantees if the buyer was unhappy. So an extraordinary amount of money changed hands for a ‘hybrid’ mattress, the thing even arriving a few days early.

Looking like a big vacuum packed sausage, we carefully followed the instructions, unrolling it onto a spare bed to give it 24 hours to flatten out. The next morning, a shock awaited in the guest bedroom as the slimline mattress had gotten fat overnight, perhaps now about 20 inches thick. When we’d rolled it out, it was around 8 inches thick. The rest is history, we fitted the new mattress and remain suitably impressed as all the reviews about “hybrid” mattress’ turned out to be true. There was even a surprise side effect, the new height of the bed requiring the dog to think carefully before she jumps up.

 

As a result of this sleepy tale, we’ve a certain bias favouring Eve Sleep Plc and when an email asked that we review their share price due to some extraordinary price movements, it became easy to assume word has got around about how good their product is. The share closed the day at 2.8p, a stunning rise of 60%.

Firstly, an item of importance. The Blue downtrend on the chart appears important, the price needing close a session above 3.177 currently to confirm a change of trend. While it did reach 3.4p during the session. the share remains solidly below the downtrend. But price movements were quite encouraging, certainly suggesting there’s more going on than simply over-enthusiastic internet gossip. The immediate situation now suggests above 3.18p could prove capable of a near term gain to 3.75p next. If bettered, our longer term secondary calculates at 5.3p, a price level where the visuals imply some hesitation. Overall, in the event this share closes above Blue, we shall even admit the ruling attraction is from 8.4p, a true wake up call for a share currently trading at 2.8p.

The price needs break Red for panic, currently 1.6p

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq It used to be said “the market always knows” and as a result, we’re looking at some shares this week which should give a clue of impending trouble. It was certainly true Wall St suffered warning signs for trouble, during the week before 9/11, something which remained unexplained. Alas, with Defense Sector shares, things are less than clear with no immediate signs of the markets salivating at the prospect of a war in Europe.

There’s surely a pretty certain timeframe, if the Russia/Ukraine issue is due to become “hot”, especially as the two countries need only delay until May 14th to conclusively resolve the issue. The annual atrocity to taste which is the Eurovision Song Contest takes place mid-May and will feature both nations, providing an easy method of deciding who’s the winner without resorting to conflict. Perhaps the threat of this being ‘the decider’ explains the mixed messages currently being given by international markets.

Another UK defence contractor, Qinetiq (LSE:QQ.) find themselves in a strange place, their share price (252p at time of writing) looking very like it intends reversal to a bottom of 227p. Whereas for BAE Systems, the picture is quite different – but still not frothing at the mouth.

 

Presently trading around 593p, BAE needs fall below 533p to give cause for concern. Movement such as this takes the share price into a region where reversal to an initial 432p looks very possible with secondary, if broken, a less likely bottom at 310p. But in reality, if feels like BAE shall experience some gains fairly soon.

To convince us, the share needs close a session above a trigger level of 601p. This criteria appears quite important, calculating as making a visit to 671p a pretty confident ambition. If exceeded, our secondary works out at 694p and visually, this looks important. By reaching 694p, the share shall exceed the level of the series of highs since 2017 and we don’t feel over-optimistic by mentioning the price will be in a 3rd target zone, easily capable of a cycle to 805p and a new all time high.

 

From a personal stance, it’s easy to hope this is all military posturing, designed to enhance the price of exports from Russia during winter, when demand for Gas is highest. Fingers crossed time.

Once again, our thanks to those who discover fascinating adverts on this page to visit. It genuinely buys the coffee every day!

#EURRUB #Gold #SP500 Storms can prove a nuisance. Here on Scotland’s west coast, the last week brought three pretty vile examples of rotten weather but oddly, it was the one on Sunday which did all the damage. I can only suspect branches had been weakened and 6 fence posts simply decided their time had also come, each opting to shear at the base. And as for our garden waterfall, clearing away bushes make for a pretty picture but also removed sound deadening.

And of course, my hand-crafted hydro electric scheme was destroyed in the deluge, never designed to spin at such speeds.

The other storm providing a worry, obviously, is the current Russia/Ukraine thing. A complete distrust of the media, thanks to the playground “fight, fight” rhetoric so prevalent in the UK, suggested it may prove a safer exercise to review how the markets are handling the currency relationship between Europe and Russia. Thankfully the picture, while interesting, isn’t screaming drama. The immediate situation suggests above 90.9 looks capable of allowing the Euro to strengthen to an initial 94.54, such an ambition challenging the prior highs of 2020. Should such a level be exceeded, our secondary calculation comes along at 97.94 and again, this suggests a visual challenge against the strange high of 2014.

The visual conclusion from the above is of the Euro strengthening against the Ruble but not really doing anything it hasn’t done before.

We ran the same exercise against the US Dollar, finding a very similar set of results with the Ruble weakening but not to any new degree. Even tossing Sterling into the mix brought a suggestion of some ongoing Sterling strength to 115 against the Ruble, a level slightly below the highs of 2016.

If true dramatics are upon us, for the EUR/RUB to justify a raised eyebrow, above 97.94 should provide real justification, this suggesting the pairing is heading somewhere brand new.

#Brent #Dax_Futures Sometimes it feels we are taking some sort of green initiative, essentially recycling our thoughts on Barclays every three weeks. As a result of actually doing something green over the weekend, we’re opting to take a different approach and starting afresh.  Perhaps turning a dud Microwave into a Rock Tumbler wasn’t entirely green but it was fun, the almost finished product looking strangely well made!

 

We’d replaced the kitchen microwave a month ago and, being stubborn about taking the old one to the dump, was getting fed up tripping over it in the shed. Due to radiation risks, the idea of repairing the old machine was never an issue. It had started turning off with a dramatic thud and with Xmas approaching, was immediately retired. But the machine looked as clean and shiny as the day we’d bought it and guilty of messing around with electrics and electronics, I was confident it must contain some good bits.

A grand-daughter, when she visits, is worse than a puppy when it comes to collecting stones from the sea shore, often spending hours decorating them on the dining room table. After tripping over the microwave yet again on Saturday, inspiration struck. The machine obviously has a rotating base which implied the presence of an electric motor with low speed gearing. I’ve always wanted to build a Rock Tumbler for the girls, the idea being they visit, they collect rocks, we toss them in the tumbler with some sand, and when they return in two weeks, they’ve got highly polished stones and sea glass.

By Sunday afternoon, the microwave had literally none of its contents left, instead the case containing just the motor which was now employed full time turning a horizontal plastic container, suspended on some rollers. It still looked like a microwave but the noise of rocks tumbling around in abrasive sand was suitably silenced. For some reason, a crucial detail hadn’t been addressed in the bout of creative genius. It transpires a rock tumbler turns at between 40 and 60 times per minute. My microwave version turns 8 times per minute… “Going to need a bigger motor!”

 

With Barclays, opting to delete all previous lines and targets in an effort to stop recycling our thoughts has already encouraged a change of thinking, albeit one which should surprise no-one.. Since 2016 the share price has been bouncing above and below a pivot level of just 191p. Even with the pandemic, this horizontal trend managed to remain relevant with a remarkable degree of arithmetic precision. From our perspective, this is quite useful as it carries an almost certain implication of the share price requiring exceed 220p to signal it’s moving away from the trend. In such a scenario, we are now looking for growth to an initial 234p with our longer term secondary, if the initial is exceeded, calculating at 288p, along with the visual promise of some hesitation.

To justify concern, the share price currently needs close a session below 184p as this risks tossing it into a zone where reversal to an initial 160p with secondary, if broken, a hopeful bottom at 132p works out as possible.

We’re inclined toward optimism here but similar to the repurposed microwave, it’s going to need a lot of patience.
