Trends And Targets

#Gold #SP500   A bunch of emails, doubtless inspired by recent movements on the price of gold, have been asking about the prospects for Greatland Gold. Unsurprisingly, with world events recently suggesting paying attention to “safe” investments may not be a dreadful idea, the price of Gold has gone a little nuts. We’d advise a little caution before rushing to join the Gold party, there being a suggestion peace could break out with very little warning, provoking reversals in Gold and obviously, the price of Crude oil, any interruption in the flow of missiles doubtless being welcomed by world markets. Unfortunately, this will tend make deaths on both sides of the political arguments meaningless, but folk holding long positions may find themselves absorbing damage from rapid reversals in Gold or Crude.

However… while the price of Crude looks vulnerable to any outbreak of common sense, Gold has behaved just a little differently, arguably taking a bit of a breath before a fairly near term surge to a new high. In other words, Gold appears to be showing strength absent from the price of Crude, so perhaps share prices with companies in the Gold sector shall experience continued oomph for the future. From our perspective, Greatland, despite enjoying assets in Western Australia, are entirely wrongly placed, unable to take advantage of the 0.7 metre of snow which fell at the weekend, starting the ski season surprisingly early in Eastern Australia!

Before we zoom in on the share price for Greatland, it shall be worth watching Gold as movement above 3,447 should next promote the concept of growth to an initial 3,535 with our secondary, if beaten, at a longer term 3,675 and very probable hesitation.

 

With regard Greatland, despite employees being denied the opportunity of skiing to work, movement next above 18p should hopefully trigger share price recovery to an initial 21.4p with our secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 28.7p. Overall, we can now regard the share as trading in a zone where a long term 42p is apparently exerting an attraction. If everything intends go dreadfully wrong, price closure below 15p shall be regarded as a bad thing, undoing any immediate growth calculations and forcing us back to studying the tea leaves.

For now, despite a strong visual chance of the share price reversing to threaten the 15p level, we shall not be surprised if it intend head to 28p as a major point of interest.

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

#Brent #Dax  Thus far, world events have failed to destabilise Lloyds Bank share price though we’re inclined to an outpouring of caution, due to Crude oil and Gold being goosed upward during the last few sessions. It’s almost as if the market is taking a deep breath while Israel and Iran scratch each others back with missiles. Meanwhile, the media continue to paint a picture of calm in the world, careful to ensure the word “Pakistan” doesn’t appear anywhere near any article on the Indian airliner disaster. It’s about as transparent as the “Romanian” interpreter in the Northern Ireland case against immigrants, exquisite care being taken by a media avoiding admitting the Romanian interpreter isn’t being used to translate from Romanian but instead, allegedly from another language!

No matter what, the world is not a nice place presently. Some real entertainment was had from the Canadian Grand Prix, all of which we missed due to an “incident” shutting the all ferries down for 6 hours. A huge search and rescue operation was launched for a missing passenger, something previously unheard of! However, the wonderful ESPN Formula 1 summary on YouTube got the entire race’s good bits out of the way in just 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the missing passenger remains missing, the chaps wife failing to notice he was absent until the vessel docked. This is perhaps not as odd as it sounds, my own wife expecting me to either nap for the crossing or go on deck and take photographs of the ever changing Argyll scenery.

 

And therefore, despite an accumulation of excuses for Lloyds share price not to accelerate properly,  things are performing with some resilience. The share price is certainly fluttering around but absolutely nowhere need any danger level, Lloyds share needing to close below 48p before investing in running shoes becomes a great idea.

Currently, share price movement above 79p  should prove capable of triggering recovery (we can still call it recovery for quite a while!) to an initial 89p with our secondary, if bettered, at a longer term visually sensible 110p. In fact, Lloyds are becoming irritating as we dare not describe movements as “growth” rather than “recovery” until such time the share price closes above 110p as a future 124p becomes available as a 3rd level ambition, a point in time where arithmetic will allow us to describe a ridiculous sounding 200p as exerting an attraction…

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

#Gold #FTSE Thursday should have brought outpourings of happiness for the UK market, the index finally achieving an all time high by accelerating beyond the peak at the start of March this year. However, it’s likely the fun and games between Israel and Iran shall overshadow everything, Israel having decided to remove Iran’s nuclear potentials. Further muddying the waters is an expectation of civil war in Iran, once the Israel action is complete and regime change becomes possible. In other words, the FTSE shall probably opt to experience reversals, regardless of any “higher high” justifications for hope.

This conflict kicking off so late, ensured our suggested Long positions on Brent Crude were probably useless. With Brent futures currently trading around 7648 cents, we suspect a price level of 8200 shall be challenged on the immediate cycle. Our longer term secondary, if such a point is exceeded, works out at 9072 cents! Our life would certainly be easier, if they’d announce well in advance the date and time of future conflicts as the surprise war can easily make our numbers redundant within minutes. For instance, if the FTSE intends panic, reversal to around 8760 points looks possible, perhaps with further drops in 100 point increments, producing a secondary target around 8656 points..

At time of writing, FTSE futures are around 8820 points and with news Iran were on the verge of assembling 15 nuclear weapons, we lack confidence in declaring 8760 points as a “bottom” capable of provoking a bounce. Overall, it is even possible to speculate on 8570 eventually making an appearance. Amazingly, the tightest stop loss level is astounding, sitting around just 8845 points.

 

But there has been something “funny” with index movements during the most recent 8 sessions. Generally, our conclusion is to completely distrust a break of an uptrend, when a share or market price essentially haunts the prior uptrend and continuing upward. This situation often ends with a “surprise” sharp recovery above the prior trend line, meaning we shall not be aghast if the market regains direction, finding itself above Red and creating a scenario where happy days are ahead. In summary, we can speculate any near term reversals shall prove a bit fake and short lived.

If we’re right, moves next above 8897 points should paint a picture of FTSE GAINS to an initial 9303 points with our Big Picture longer term secondary calculating at 9715 points.

 

Have a good weekend and enjoy the often messy Canadian Grant Prix. Or better still, watch the party atmosphere from the  Le Mans 24 hrs, an event which always resonates with a “wish I could afford to be there” vibe. It’s one of these events, like OctoFest in Munich, or the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, usually 5 days of pompous garbage overshadowed by a single 30 minute show.

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

#Gold #Wall St   The brilliant news two members of K-Pop group BTS have completed their military service in South Korea and will soon return to performance within the country. Quite why this announcement popped up on our market news feed is a puzzle, but perhaps pointing to the lack of real news from anywhere. Aside from Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Los Angeles. Even news of Greta Thunberg refusing to watch Hamas footage of their activities on Oct 7th made the market feed. Curiously though, the UK Government announcing £14.2bn investment in nuclear didn’t pop up as relevant information!

 

With the traditionally anti-nuclear Labour government now supporting the most favourable Green energy solution, we question why Great British Bake Off are not holding a round with Yellow Cake designs, a challenge to force contestants to make something socially acceptable? Until such a time, Uranium 235 will suffer a poor reputation, despite it effectively being the thing which powers a massive steam engine. The upcoming Sizewell C power station differs very little from the steam engines of the 18th century, except the water isn’t being boiled by a coal fire stove but instead, a controller nuclear reaction. It’s be nice, if future power stations were named after such success’ as Doncaster’s “Flying Scotsman” or the original classic, Stevenson’s “Rocket”. Though we’d certainly pause, if a nuclear facility was named after Thomas The Tank Engine or better still, the un-named talking train from the original Magic Roundabout series…

 

Yellow Cake Plc, the uranium stockpile company which gives the market to effectively trade on the potentials of the product, are proving slightly interesting.

Currently, above 518p should apparently trigger an explosion in the price to an initial 573p. If bettered, we should plan for a distant 718p glowing in the future as a point at which the visuals suggest some hesitation should become possible in the share price trajectory. Importantly, share price closure above our 573p target exposes a longer term 824p as exerting an attraction.

For everything to go wrong, the price needs close a session below 487p to foul up our calculations.

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

#Brent #Dax  We’d a cunning plan for a Formula 1 free weekend, binging on “Clarkson’s Farm” in the knowledge the rest of 2025’s TV viewing was going to be lacking. Once again, Clarkson knocked it out of the park, visibly falling to bits on screen and clearly exasperated by staff members deluging him with problems, never any suggested solutions. Anyone who’s ever been an employer could easily relate to what was happening but, (spoiler alert) no ambulance was called for Clarkson, despite him clearly needing one, his blood pressure visibly exploring new highs!

Obviously, the guy, his subjects of farming and buying a pub, is a matter of personal taste, but hopefully he survives to produce a further series next year as it made fascinating viewing. We watched 4 episodes on Saturday, 4 on Sunday, and unlike a Grand Prix weekend, we didn’t feel our time was wasted. I’d be surprised is anyone who has employed staff, didn’t jump up and pace with shared frustration during the final episode. As can be assumed, in our opinion Clarkson has produced yet another commendable series. We can only speculate if he intends produce a range of pork, called “Richard Ham”.

 

As for Natwest, news of the company allegedly paying off the last of its debt to the UK taxpayer, is perhaps proving capable of driving the share price into a cycle where some real hope is available for the future. While we cannot plot out any trajectory which suggests hope for the folk trapped with a share price adjusted average at around 23 quid, since the price appears to have confirmed the downtrend since 2007, we can calculate an absurd sounding attraction as coming from a distant 1404p on the current cycle. As long as the price doesn’t discover an excuse to close a session below 484p, we shall cling to this hope with similar fervour Mr Clarkson holds for his little pig, Richard Ham.

We’ve even got considerable hope for the nearer term, the big picture allowing us to adjust our target levels upward. Apparently, movement next above 537p should now target an ambition at 600p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at a future 767p. We’re a little sceptical at this outpouring of affection for NWG share price, especially as we fondly referred to it as “the clown bank” due to their share price movements back in the days when the company was honestly called RBS. Essentially, we’d initially thought a breakout target would be around 570p but now, things appear to have changed.

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

#FTSE #GOLD  The FTSE has walked out of May and entered June, displaying the most grudging series of “higher highs” in the first week of this month. We’ve mentioned previously our suspicion; the market has noticed it’s on the verge of strong movement and is now, almost desperately, trying to avoid it. The FTSE itself seems to be under the influence of a nightmare version of the “Goblins of Gringotts”, this being the central bank position in the world of Harry Potter. In the UK, we’ve only got the Bank of England, an organisation which seems to be making considerable effort to slow down the UK economy. We’d hoped the malign influence of their Canadian chairman would wane, once he returned to active politics in his own country but so far, the evidence is against it.

With movements being terribly lethargic since the start of May, the market is now closing on a point where the Goblins in the background will be forced to panic. Earlier this year, the market closed at a high of 8873 points and we regard this as the final level, above which the market should (according to our logic) have no choice other than to sharply move further toward our ruling destination, currently calculating at an ambitious 9727 points. With the FTSE closing at 8811 points on Thursday 5th June, very little work now needs done to challenge our trigger point of 8873.

Or in other words, we shall not be surprised if the market discovers an excuse to panic, introducing some reversals to knock the FTSE back into its box. Certainly, movement now below 8750 shall be regarded as with triggering potential, working out as capable of provoking reversals to an initial 8634 with our secondary, if broken, a probable bottom at 8588, once again dumping the UK Index into a parking orbit when it gets to do the whole thing over again. Perhaps it’s the case, where chaos in Ukraine, chaos in Israel, and chaos in UK politics, shall need vanish before our banking Goblins allow the index to run free.

 

Of course, we could be utterly wrong, the lethargy infecting the UK market just being a figment of our own irritation.

 

More likely, it seems to be the case near term movement above 8839 should challenge a spectacular rise to 8845 points next, an ambition we’d describe as utterly useless.  It’s probably safer (and saner) to suggest movement above 8845 should bring a near term 8895 next with our “longer term” secondary, if bettered, at 8959 points. Unfortunately, the most sane stop loss level for this scenario is at 8750 points, giving a painfully large safety margin to match the risk/reward scenario.

On the brighter side of life, it looks like the current wind and rain season here in Argyll should be coming to an end. My wife grows “Peony Roses” at the front of our house, an annual joke being bad weather is due, when the dark red blooms at their most perfect. She has finally noticed this is a very real annual event, her battle to beat the weather becoming an annual event to save her blooms before they are destroyed by strong winds and heavy rains. Who knows, perhaps Peony Roses attract bad weather as it looks like we’ve now 10 days of good weather ahead, her collection of pretty flowers yet again utterly destroyed.

We’ve been joking – to a degree – about planting grape vines at the front of the house. It’s south faces, looking over the sea but rarely threatened by storm surges. A cherry blossom tree planted 5 years ago has flourished, my wife wanting me to eschew planting some carrots and potatoes, instead trying for the ingredients of a dry white wine. However, with the collapse of the wine production industry worldwide, it’s proving remarkably cheap to buy concentrate grape juice from impoverished growers in California and Spain.

Have a good weekend, unfortunately one without a grand prix.

#DAX #SP500 An interesting company, they seem quite clear on what they actually do, rather than making the reason for their existence vanish in a bucket of word spaghetti. From an in-house perspective, this is the sort of company we hope will knock on our door one day, offer a ridiculous amount of money for our logic tree, then vanish into the night, while we choose what colour of Norton Commando is being bought, along with a specific Honda RC45 for my wife. All joking aside, she really misses going out to the garage once a month and cleaning spider webs off her bike, it only being used once a year in dry weather. From a bikers viewpoint, this was akin to cruelty and when she agreed to sell it, the (immediate) buyer was delighted at the masterpiece of Honda race bikes.

Unfortunately, the guy adopted my wifes maintenance regime but her attitude has changed. Next time she has an RC45, we will have a van capable of carrying our family bikes to racetracks, where she will again be capable of humiliating bikers. To be clear, my (5 ft tall) wife once passed me TWICE on a single racing lap and I’m supposed to be fairly competent. On a brighter note, our daughter, while capable of choosing spectacular machinery, is the sort of rider who experiences a smear of suicidal dead flies on the back of her helmet. Let’s just say she isn’t fast but has exquisite taste…

We can dream!

Back in 2012, when we wrote our market monitoring software, only one share proved reliable, a mining share called Xstrata. This wasn’t exactly a surprise as we’d used the historical data for the share to tune our series of 187 algorithms but there was a core problem, as running the numbers for shares like BARC or AAL generally fell completely apart. Oddly, one share which proved remarkably concise was Gulf Keystone, a share which was dangerous to write about due to the large and hysterical fan club. Genuinely, many folk writing about the markets would avoid GKP due to the level of abuse received.

Returning to the present, the eventual realisation our 187 formula were useless did present a real problem. The core issue was each and every argument needed tweaked for each and every share. As there were only two of us doing high level programming, a new approach was needed, one which we’ve adopted for the last 12 years. Clients report we’re right around 80% of the time, substantially higher than achieved by the market god Buffet, the head bloke behind Berkshire Hathaway with their 737,000 dollar share price. Buffet claims a success ratio of 60% our 80% ratio being quite superior…

Our solution to the problem was to retain our core software but allow humans to glance at what’s being suggested. It’s less elegant but the human eye can make a relatively informed decision in seconds. Whereas the time required to “tune” our software for every single share, commodity, index, or whatever would be absurd, each item of interest requiring months of work! If only there was an investment company willing to throw money at this problem? We’ve a suspicion somewhere in the UK, there is an Ai company who know what they’re doing, an organisation capable of bringing a small truck full of funds. And to even speak to such an entity, we’d need a company such as Intermediate Capital Group. (it’s a Black Norton 951 Commando Interstate, with the gold leaf logo on the tank) as they’d be unlikely to take a company from Argyll seriously, despite our proven track record. Whimsically, in 2015 we noticed a company in Canada were listed on Toronto, claiming to do what we do. Their listing vanished, then the company vanished.

 

Joking aside, we find ICG interesting as they look like the sort of company capable of assisting small fry through the difficult growth phase. We’ve been happy to remain discrete, due to a distaste for the type of folk who want to “big” things rather than tell the unvarnished truth. We know we’re good at what we do, also knowing the level of work required to extend our magic across every market worldwide would end badly. But we would be happy to chat to a company producing a proper Ai, rather than the hype offered by ChatGPT and the rest of the family.

But we do like the “About” ethos being offered by LSE:ICG, so we’re liable to get gentle in our share price potentials.

Now above 2,086 should prove useful, giving an initial target level at 2,224p with our secondary, if beaten, an eventual visit to 2,378p.  Visually, such an ambition is difficult, given a high which is below the price movements earlier this year. But it does dump the price into a zone, where a longer term “all time high” of 2,694 apparently becomes possible.

 

For things to go wrong, below 1,990 should serve the first trigger, hitting a reversal cycle to an eventual 1,537. Visually, this scenario makes some sense, creating a picture of a “double bottom” which is sure to get the markets excited.

Our gut feeling is an expectation this is a share price heating toward almost the 2700 level.[

 But of course, Mrs T&T really wants her RC45 back…

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.
