#Brent #Dax  With spectacular levels of competence, we managed to miss TWO international championships at the weekend. Firstly, there was the Grand Prix from Japan and secondly, there was the World Stone Skimming Championship in Scotland. Being in Scotland, it was easier to opt to attend our local event, World Stone Skimming, which was scheduled for the isle of Easdale in Argyll.

We’ve been promising ourselves a day out to Easdale for years. As the place is virtually on our doorstep, we’ve obviously never bothered visiting since moving to Argyll, this attitude generally being the fate of local attractions throughout the UK. However, we’d decided to take this event seriously, planning on leaving at 9am rather than enjoy a lazy Sunday watching the usually entertaining Japanese Grand Prix. The journey to Easdale started with light rain but thankfully deserted roads but the weather steadily worsened as we headed north.  Stopping to let the dog out alongside the Crinnan Canal, the question arose as to whether we really wanted to spend Sunday afternoon in now torrential rain, watching people throw stones at water? Easdale, once renowned for its slate quarries, is hard to visit without skimming flat stones across its dark and threatening deep ponds as, aside from a pub and a chums derelict house, there’s nothing else to do there. We opted to let common sense take over rather than face getting soaked, turned around and chose to stop for lunch at Loch Fyne Oyster Bar on the journey home. Thankfully, the dog likes shellfish…

And that’s how easy it is to miss two championship events, though the “highlights” show from Japan was interesting as the TV producers proved unable to edit out many laps of the race, due to it once again being quite good. It’s a strange sentiment, praising Formula 1 because some real racing actually took place!

 

Alas, for Barclays, their share price movements remain open to some sniffs of distain. When we reviewed the share three weeks ago, we’d given an initial gain target at 160p, something achieved recently. In fact, on the day of the initial surge to target, their share price closed at 160.08p and by such a massive 8/100ths of a penny, it was seen to be exceeding our initial ambition, opening the door for great things in the future. We rarely feel confidence from such tiny signals as they often feel like they fall into the “a stopped clock is right twice a day” category of analysis.

However, if we pretend undying optimism, it’s now the case where movement exceeding 163.18p should next make an attempt for 175p with secondary, if exceeded, now calculating at 185p. We’re not terribly impressed with current price movements as they lack real confidence.

Should a slow down be on the cards, below 153.7 risks triggering reversal to an initial 152p with secondary, if broken, down at 150p and hopefully a bounce.  Visually, our fear is of a protracted “walk” down the Blue trend line on the chart until sufficient set of circumstances are discovered to allow Barclays to make a future attempt to show some gains.

#FTSE #BRENT  We’ve mixed feelings about Brent, due to disgust at the price of fuel in petrol stations making it difficult to cheer the immediate potentials for the black stuff. The current cycle has a target level at 96.4 dollars, an ambition the price has failed to achieve as the rise feels like it’s stumbling at the 95 dollar level.

It’s still the case, where above 95 dollars remains with the potential of a lift to 96.4 but one of our unfathomable rules demands a product, index, or share, achieve an initial target level of the first upward surge, preferably exceeding any initial target. In the case of Brent, the initial surge happened a week ago with the price struggling for every cent of gain in the period since. Should our 96.4 be exceeded, we’re now forced to be less confident about our secondary at $105. Essentially, it starts to feel like the price manipulation by Saudi and Russia is failing and perhaps we should now focus more on reversal potentials.

Below $86 now looks capable of triggering reversals down to an initial $75 and a possible bounce, if we judge by the present of the Red uptrend since 2020. In the event $75 breaks, our secondary calculates down at $57, a drop potential which would suggest a return to the period of sane pricing between 2015 and 2021.

FTSE for FRIDAY With the Government and BoE opting to give the UK a rest from their policy of draining ambition from the country, it appears possible some gains may be permitted on the FTSE. Unfortunately, we cannot be confident at such a prospect, thanks to the markets spending the week being incredibly hesitant and it has created a situation, where any excuse for reversal is liable to give those with Long positions a bit of a kicking.

Below 7670 points looks capable of triggering weakness down to an initial 7639 points with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 7604 points, almost certainly accompanied by a bounce. If triggered, the tightest stop looks like 7715 points.

 

Our alternate scenario, one which feels less probable due to the behaviour of futures after hours, indicates movement above 7747 should make an attempt at a lunge to 7804 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at 7871 points.

More importantly, with the Japan Grand Prix this weekend, we’ve obviously sufficient excuse to make sushi in anticipation of a race which proves as enjoyable as last weeks effort from Singapore. However, we’re forced to miss watching the event live, due to attending the World Championship of the World Stone Skimming Contest. The event, held in an old slate quarry on an island off the coast of Argyll, is supposed to be tongue in cheek but unfortunately, it’s now at risk of being taken seriously. The only tiny little problem is the tiny little boat which will be tasked with ferrying a huge number of spectators and competitors across to Easdale, an island with no shops, one pub, no roads, and a small population who value their privacy.

Have a good weekend.

#Gold #Nasdaq  Every now and then, there’s a “Wait, What?” moment when reading the blurb about a company. Trinity produced such an event when their website made reference to “West Coast Assets”. Due to a plethora of nuclear submarine ‘secret’ traffic lanes*, along with an area containing a massive amount of dumped munitions, oil production from Scotlands West Coast is mostly from the skin complexion of troubled teenagers!

A few seconds later, the realisation Trinity do their thing on the West and East Coasts of Trinidad made some sense, especially as their website oil production platform photographs lacked any semblance of foul weather, quite the contrary. The islands position at the end of a chain of enviable destinations starting with The Bahamas is enviable, probably not the worst place in the world to be discovering and extracting oil. That honour doubtless goes to Scotland, the country where the rain goes to fall down…

 

Share price movements for Trinity are starting to give considerable hope as there’s a hope movement next above just 93p shall trigger a nod in the direction of 109p next. If bettered, our longer term secondary looks impressive, calculating at 132p and a new ball game for the future.

If things intend go coconut shaped, below 77p would look troublesome, allowing reversal down to an initial 55p with secondary, if broken, at a less likely 20p. But due to movements this year, our inclination is to anticipate some price recovery for Trinity.

*An amusing story about submarine traffic in Scotland recently surfaced in the USA. 48 years ago, an American nuclear submarine was exiting Holy Loch base in Argyll when it bumped into a Russian nuclear submarine which was waiting, intending to follow it out into the Atlantic. Both countries decided to keep the story quiet and it’s questionable whether the UK government was even told about the incident. Everything remained under water, though some paint may have drifted upward. What makes this tale noteworthy is the disclosure from the US military included a photograph of the (now gone) American base, a snapshot  taken on the hill directly behind our house. The collision would have taken place about 2 miles away.

Needless to say, the UK media have failed to cover this story. After all, we’re still knee deep in submarines here in Argyll.

#FTSE #Stoxx50 It’s funny how it can transpire a company we’ve known for years is actually just a little bit bigger than thought.  The logo of “Clansman”, adorning numerous boxes of stationary back in the day when businesses used paper (they still do!), concealed just how massive local company MacFarlane had become. Thankfully, there’s little sign their share price has been tarnished with the proximity of their Glasgow packaging centre in Uddingstone to a notorious house of Nicola Sturgeon, featured strongly for several days with a police search which rivalled most murder scenes.

In many ways, the disgrace was deserved as the “alphabet women”, the conspirators labelled from Ms A through to Ms H, are unmasked and to no-ones amazement, it transpires they were all members of Nicola Sturgeons inner cabal, with some dodgy financial dealings remaining unanswered. However, it’s still the case none can be named, despite growing calls for legal action for perjury. But to get down to brass tacks, what international company would like to have such a person as a neighbour? While perhaps a small degree of bias may be sneaking through, witness ‘Ms H’ was even warned at Mr Salmonds trial she was skirting on the edge of a legal black hole due to the frequency of her rotating storylines.

 

One thing which is slightly amusing with the Macfarlane Group analysis comes from it being requested, not by a reader in the UK but instead, someone in Spain! It was almost ignored until the realisation dawned we actually know the company, hence our interest.

The share price has been in the doldrums this year but certainly is developing an argument for some price growth. Currently trading around 110p, it need only exceed 115p currently to kick off a cycle to an initial 120p with secondary, if exceeded, at 131p and some probable hesitation. The funny thing, closure above 131p should prove interesting as a future all time high of 152p becomes possible.

Our alternate scenario suggests trouble below 101p as giving an early indication of coming reversal to an initial 92p with our longer term secondary, if broken, calculating down at 73p and hopefully a proper bounce.

#Gold #SP500  It was a funny old day. Having discovered a new brand of bird kept trying to drown itself in a local salmon river, the decision was made to carry a proper camera in the hope of getting a snapshot of its antics. No matter what, a mobile phone remains best used for cat videos and selfies! But it seems a modern camera can provoke attention from the wrong places, presumably due to the range of sensors employed.

The suicidal bird, it turned out, was something called a Dipper and unlike proper aquatic birds, it lacks web feet and a big pointed beak. Instead, the thing was masquerading as similar to a Robin in every respect aside from flapping its wings like a lunatic, then vanishing under the surface of the river repeatedly. Sometimes it would fly to shore and perch on a bush, before once again trying to drown itself. Never having seen such behaviour previously, a local bird enthusiast told me what I’d been watching, growing excited as White Throated Dippers are apparently quite rare, due to their perceived deprivations of young salmon making their way downstream to the sea. And as my wife didn’t believe what I’d seen was real, suspecting I’d just seen a bird taking a bath, it was time for a real camera. This was to provoke something of a surprise as, due to the river now being in full flood thanks to rain, no self respecting bird would dare going under water. But, as the dog walk concluded, the noise of a flight of helicopters got my attention and inevitably, it was time for the Nikon camera to do its stuff. Unusually, I’d plenty of time to take a snapshot, so messed around with all the controls to ensure I’d the proper range, light levels, and every other nuisance detail which makes camera’s so sensitive. Judging by the R2D2 character embedded at the front of a modern helicopter, it had also detected my camera electronics as the camera pod appeared to swivel immediate to look straight back! The age of “The Terminator” appears to be upon us but maybe next time, I shall dig out an old Panasonic which lacks modern gadgets.

And as for the Dipper, tomorrow is another day.

For Costain Group, the share price has enjoyed a pretty vile ride since 2018 and it looks about as certain as it can be the price has achieved a “bottom” in the 30’s since 2020. The problem, obviously, has been the share price failure to enjoy any sort of realistic bounce. The situation now demands the share price exceed 68p to provoke some proper recovery, giving the potential of a lift to an initial 87p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 107p and some hesitation. It appears closure at or above this level shall prove crucial for the long term as a surge toward 152p becomes very possible.

Hopefully the UK Govt and the BoE ease up on their assault on the building industry with interest rates, allowing for some proper recovery for the sector.

If things intend going wrong, the Big Picture suggests 30p as an absolute bottom but the situation now exists where below 37p risks triggering reversal to 28 with secondary, if broken, at 14p. While these targets are arithmetically possible, recovering from such a level looks extremely difficult.

#Brent #Dax  With the retail banks, there’s a race to avoid the start! With Grand Prix, there’s a race to the end and in recent years, nothing has come close to the excitement of Singapore at the weekend. With four cars almost nose to tail, the final laps proved amazing, the stress getting to one of the Mercedes drivers who decided to test how effective the front crumple zone of his car was, literally on the final lap.

The poor bloke did a perfect “From Hero to Zero” crash, missing 3rd place in the race and gifting that honour to his team-mate, Louis Hamilton.

 

Similarly, Natwest appears to be shuffling into position where it might actually start to do something useful. Amazingly, this particular scenario dates back to 2007 and the Blue downtrend on the chart.

As shown above, this Blue line, dating back to a time when politicians lost their integrity with the Financial Crash, could easily be thought of as a crayon mark on a chart, were it not for Natwest share price behaviour in the last week. When an extensive effort is made to ensure a share fails to close above a downtrend (circled in Red above), it tends make our attention zoom in, just in case we’re seeing a signal for something important. In this particular instance, we suspect this shall prove to be the case. We’d urge no-one to get too excited as we’re not about to propose anything as interesting as the Singapore GP but it certainly feels like something solid could happen fairly quickly.

Trading around 236p at time of writing, the share price need only exceed 240p to hopefully trigger movement to an initial 249p with our secondary, if bettered, working out at an irritating 258p. Despite a potential 18p rise not deserving sneezed at, visually such an ambition matches the highs from July and a price level where we suspect the share price shall develop a bit of a stutter. Our usual rules demand the share close above these prior highs of 261p before we dare regard Natwest as entering any sort of serious race. Until then, rather aptly, it remains trapped in the retail bank equivalent of a clown car.

Should Natwest indulge in its favoured hobby of throwing custard pies at traders, below 231p becomes problematic, allowing for reversal to 217 with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 204p and hopefully a proper bounce.

#FTSE #GOLD  Good news appeared to come from everywhere on Thursday. From a personal perspective, an unwelcome diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes early this year has proven difficult to live with, the medication provoking unpleasant side effects. A routine blood test threw up something which demanded further checks, resulting in an absence of diabetes! Which is a good thing, along with a suspicion the real “cure” came from losing some weight.

The FTSE similarly looks poised to deliver some good cheer following a rather spectacular session on Thursday, the best day of the year for the index. The mining sector certainly received a sprinkling of fairy dust with the oilers receiving a smaller boost. The banking sector, unsurprisingly, lagged behind the party, doubtless due to the ECB taking interest rates to all time highs. We note UK chip designer ARM chose to launch their IPO in the USA on the Nasdaq, sending quite nasty signals about their confidence in the UK and the FTSE. Regardless, the FTSE certainly cheered from the sidelines as a day up by just over 2% at one point was a welcome relief.

 

However, there is a chance some unpleasantness awaits for the FTSE, despite the visual impression currently being given. As always, the problem comes from a trend line, the Blue downtrend on the chart for 2023. The FTSE closed Thursday at 7673 points, effectively slightly below the downtrend which is currently sitting at 7682 points. This isn’t an encouraging signal but the FTSE needs below 7606 points to incite any serious concern, risking triggering reversals to an initial 7578 points with secondary, if broken, at 7541 and hopefully a rebound. Should this scenario trigger, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7650 points.

Our alternate, more positive, scenario is fairly palatable. Above 7687 points calculates with the potential of a lift up to an initial impressive 7804 points. Our secondary, should this level be exceeded, works out at 7868 points. Definitely a fingers crossed day appears to be ahead but market futures currently indicate some optimism.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the 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.
