#FTSE #Stoxx When Doc Martin was on telly, it became compulsory viewing in our household, one of the very few programs my wife and I enjoyed, Recently, in America, they’ve tried to rebuild the show with a series called “Best Medicine”, the attempt being ‘fairly’ successful but by episode 9, the arrival of the stars parents finally added a touch of brilliance. Martin Clunes, playing the town doctors father, made a solid step in turning the show into another bout of obligatory television. But thus far. it doesn’t compare with the UK version.

Strangely, running comparisons also seemed a good idea, when trying to figure out what the markets are up to. The FTSE 100 can be misleading, behaving absurdly due to incompetent UK political behaviour and also throwing a fit when anything bad happens internationally. Obviously, this is due to the multinational makeup of FTSE components, whereas the AIM and the FTSE 250 mainly reflect UK trauma. Overall, should this be the case, the FTSE 250 and the AIM are not reacting well to what’s happening ‘locally’, the market placing each index in quite a difficult situation, where further reversals appear probable.

Currently, the AIM risks some pain as movement below 693 points looks capable of triggering reversal down to an initial 684 with our secondary, if broken, working out at a probable bottom at 633 points. This would indicate the potential of the AIM matching the lows of Covid19 back in 2020, a very possible scenario and one which paints an unhappy picture for many AIM components.

The FTSE 250, as shown below, is in a very similar situation to the AIM, there being a strong suggestion any weakness below 20,810 points risks triggering a fun Easter Egg roll, one which will doubtless target an initial 20,086 points with our secondary, if broken, working out at a potential bottom of 18,878 points. In an identical manner to the AIM, this risks challenging a trend which commenced with the 2020 Covid19 lows for the FTSE 250. In other words, more pain for the stock market until the UK manages to figure itself out and give the markets some hope.

Conversely, there’s the FTSE 100 itself, a market which has (currently) escaped the downward pressures facing the other two, instead offering a surprising amount of optimism. Above 10,246 points should next trigger recovery to 10,306 points with our secondary, if bettered, an extremely significant 10,523 points. As the chart shows, achieving such a secondary would exceed the previous level of trend break at 10,400 points and traditionally, this is one of the market movements where setting off a party popper is usually justified as it would bode extremely well for the future. But unfortunately, there’s the puzzle of the AIM and the FTSE 250, neither looking poised for anything positive.

If the AIM is to generate some smiles, it needs above 730 points to ideally trigger recovery to an initial 743 with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at 759 points. While visually this secondary is almost certain to provide a level where the market shall pause, market closure above the 759 level should prove capable of generating a future 826 points, returning the index to the land of happiness and good weather. We fear, despite the AIM’s fascination with the immediate Blue downtrend, it is fated to make a visit to 633 points eventually.

As for the FTSE 250, it needs climb above 21,520 to hopefully trigger an initial 21,731 with our secondary, if bettered, at 22,097 points and in an identical fashion to the AIM above, some almost certain hesitation. Theoretically, closure above 22,097 should open the door for a return to the land of milk and honey, giving a long term suggestion 23,792 points could be “a thing” sometime in the future.

It’s going to be interesting as the suggestion is of international events helping the FTSE 100, while local influences in the UK continue their damage to the other two ‘junior’ markets.

#Gold #Germany .#Grok why do we do hashtags?

The largest owner of oil/gas wells in the United States reportedly has a strange business model, reducing the book cost of the liability for future plugging of expired wells. This has created a situation, where the company has made more from accounting gains than its cumulative reported profits on oil and gas extraction. It always provokes a smile, when the most profitable part of a business is the accountancy department as “paper profit” is something we’ve learned to distrust. Once long ago, as part of a family business, my own division was the parts department, exposing me to early efforts to “computerise” part of the company. Being a little pig headed, the paper system of inventory was retained for 6 months but the operation proved a resounding success. At any time, a director could walk in and ask how many of a particular widget we had in stock and the parts bin could be presented, showing the exact number displayed on the green computer screen.

A further aspect to this computer nonsense came from the fact we also collated the real cost price of products, along with the retail value of sales. To be plain, we knew (to the penny) how profitable the parts department was, revealing a surprise number from our “trade” sales to other garages throughout the UK. The official parts distributor had managed to become a major customer, due to a personal fascination with sourcing where spare parts for cars actually came from. This entailed cutting out Vauxhall, Lada, TVR (yes really), and Chrysler from our company supply chain as it was always cheaper to go directly to the manufacturer of oil filters, brake equipment, electrical bits, steering components etc. This created a situation where we generally had in-demand components in stock, our busy workshops giving an immediate clue as to what was failing across various makes of cars. As can be guessed, with TVR’s, it was always exhaust systems but this success with the Parts Department provoked serious problems with the accountancy department. In a management meeting, they decided to allocate around 50% of the costs for the entire building against my department, ensuring the profit table was topped by car sales (who allocated vehicles to the accountants), by the workshop (who serviced all the company cars) and my Parts Department who refused to provide expensive “top of the range” sound systems for any company vehicles, along with any tuning changes or special wheels and tyres.

Needless to say, a corporate war broke out, as our in-house accountants were playing with the numbers, expecting my Parts Department would roll over and accept their analysis. The company CEO was on an extended holiday and efforts by the Sales Dept, the Service Dept, to launch an embargo against the Parts Dept failed hilariously, when they discovered nothing could be ordered without the correct order codes from our software. It didn’t help that I was part of the family who owned the company, allocated no real authority except over my own department. When the CEO returned, the Service Department was folded into the Parts Department, my software eating the outdated workshops system and the entire left hand side of the company building being my sudden responsibility. The two accountants left, the workshop manager left, the unpleasant service reception manager jumped off a popular suicide bridge, Sharon in accounts (the book-keeper) turning into an unexpected ally. She was promoted to head up the accounts department and work with our external auditors. What followed was quite unpleasant, a discovery Car Sales were running at a loss, the workshops had overspent on equipment with top heavy management wages, and my little Parts Department had been carrying the entire company. This revelation, while being personally 20 years old, engendered a lifelong distrust of “accountants” who create imaginary profit in companies. Sometimes it can go badly wrong, very quickly, and I ended up managing the retail petrol stations in a mistaken effort to stop getting my hands dirty.

However, by an impressive 7p, LSE:DEC has managed to create an official “higher high”, giving optimism for the future.

Currently, above 1406p should trigger movement to an initial 1,456p with our secondary, if bettered, at 1,527p and some very probable hesitation. This is an important number, due to closure above 1,527p calculating with a Long Term visit to 1,943p and almost confident stutters, the price running into share behaviour in 2023. Visually, despite their accountancy gymnastics, it looks like Diversified should be worthy of some attention. A Higher High above a trend is not something we generally ignore.

If things intend go wrong, below 1060p should justify a raised eyebrow or ten, giving the risk of reversals to an initial 931p with our secondary, if broken, at a comfy bottom of 766p and a very, very, possible rebound. They are, after all, the company who own the most oil wells in America!

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

#Brent #S&P500 It was a funny old weekend. The Japanese Grand Prix was good – in places. Otherwise, a comment from driver Alonso proved quite salient, describing around 1/2 of the passes now taking place on track as NOT actual passes, instead being moves of drivers to avoid hitting the car in front. The problem comes from the current need to harvest electricity from the car by slowing down, creating a situation where a car doing 190mph can suddenly face a car which has slowed to 160mph. Quite a spectacular accident was caused by this scenario and Alonso’s explanation also covered by most overtakes are reversed within minutes as the slow car returns to normal speed. My wife opted to ignore everything going on in Formula1 world, instead resuming her battle with a toilet flush!

Things came to a head last week, when she broke a fingernail reaching behind the toilet lid to press the flush button. The idea behind the placement of the flush is it forces the toilet lid to be closed to allow the loo to cycle. With her purchase of a “soft close” toilet seat and lid assembly, the slow closure saw her poke a finger into the gap, breaking a nail in the process. So she opted to ‘Make An Invention’ to solve the process, gluing a a bit of plastic onto the flush button. This meant the toilet could now be flushed by simply pushing the lid. It was a genius idea but a few bugs became apparent. Firstly, it was important to pull the toilet lid away from the push button or water would keep running. And by the time the clocks changed on Sunday, her bit of plastic fell off, whatever adhesive she used proving not up to the task.  While watching my recording of the early morning race from Japan, my hands were kept occupied by shaping a 3cm thick circle of foam, designed to be glued onto the rear of the toilet lid. By using thick foam, it would compress to push the flush, yet return to its original shape, springing the lid back into place and ensuring water didn’t keep running. My wife took the honours of fitting the small disk in place and now, we’ve a loo which flushes when you push the toilet lid.

Unfortunately, such a quirky idea is par for the course in our house here in Argyll. It’s almost like the foul Scottish weather keeps us indoors. On Sunday, any plans for a relaxed dog walk vanished, the temperature seriously cold (feels like -9c), the wind seriously strong, and the rain was just serious.

This whimsical trip into the world of toilets takes us neatly to Natwest, their share price recently providing the first hint it may flush itself away. The Red uptrend, since 2023, was broken last Monday but exquisite care was also taken to ensure the share price DID NOT close below the Red line. As the chart inset highlights, the market tended confirm our usual paranoia about Closing Prices is actually justified. It’s certainly now the case where share price closure below 519p should broadcast a strong signal telling traders “Natwest is not Cheap!”. Instead, our expectation shall be of grim times ahead as the price risks being flushed…

In fact, even trades below 517 carry the threat of triggering reversal to an initial 465p with our secondary, if broken, at 447p. Unfortunately, this isn’t the end of the nightmare as we can calculate movement below 447 threatening an eventual bottom, hopefully, at 386p.

However, we’re inclined to take hope the movement on March 23rd was simply a warning of what could happen, rather than a promise for what’s ahead. But there’s no doubt this Red uptrend is important to the markets. Should this prove correct, above 546p is supposed to sprinkle fairy dust on the share price, triggering gains to an initial 582p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, working out at 658p and some visual hesitation. We’ve a degree of hesitant optimism here, due to the care the market has taken to avoid breaking the trend.

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

#FTSE With the FTSE dropping 1,000 points during the past few weeks, we deserve the chance to exhibit our report from last Friday, along with the circled Red bottom at 9,680 points. For one minute on 23rd March, the market reached (and broke) our target before recovering by an impressive 400 points. Our drop target was “out” by 0.1%, an impressive error margin.

The surprising thing about this shoulder dislocation moment, while patting ourselves on the back, is the indication the FTSE may actually be back under control,  rather than experiencing reaction to the unknown. Our theory, perhaps heartless, is Iran & Co have decided they want a base price of $94 against Crude Oil, so when the price achieves such a level, an outrageous Press Release to Reuters is sufficient to drive the price of oil back up. Equally, when the price exceeds 101 US dollars (using Brent as our guideline), it’s the time for US President Trump to state Iran is visiting to enjoy a peaceful BBQ on the White House lawn.

It almost feels like the stock markets are acknowledging the chaos in the Middle East is a form of stability. What really surprised us, our sister-in-law has been trapped in Jerusalem during March and informed by the airline a couple of weeks ago it would be around 28th March before she could fly home to Scotland. Her flight landed early today, almost exactly as told, and it begs the question, just how did the airline know?

Needless to say, we shall be popping up to the miserable north of Scotland to catch up on any gossip, a fun 420 mile round trip in a day, probably Saturday. Apparently there was a Patriot Missile emplacement very close to where she was staying…

Can we pull a similar stunt to the above again?

We do this fairly often, rarely bothering to back check our results, but when noticing the low of the FTSE while whipping our RI (Real Intelligence) to generate this comment, it rung a distant bell. This is probably why our Friday report remains the most commonly read thing we produce, a ridiculous number of views from China, the Middle East, and North America, literally in that order. The UK generally slots in just after China but often just above, as we’d expect from our location bias. And thankfully, our chums in Reunion continue to login every Friday.

Staring hard at the FTSE to try and comprehend if the markets are truly performing in accordance with logic, the immediate question is straightforward. Shall movement above 10,120 generate a market lift to an initial 10,191 points?  If bettered, our secondary calculates at a confident and smug sounding 10,236 points. This secondary level is important as closure at such a point makes a very useful future attraction from 10,511 present a magnetic influence. Perhas President Trump shall announce his predecessor, Preside Clinton, is arranging the prerequisite number of virgins for a future White House picnic with Iran. But only if they’d stop messing around with the price of oil!

Our alternate, and less happy, scenario is quite horrid. There is now a strong suggestion weakness below 9670 points shall trigger a FTSE visit to 9528 points. If (when) broken, our secondary calculates at  a bottom for the FTSE at 9,363 points and hopefully a proper bounce. To be blunt, unless the FTSE makes it above 10,236 points, we suspect it still faces a drop to 9,363 points. To paraphrase the ancient cartoon, “Stingray”, it seems “Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Month”. We suspect April shall not be terribly happy as the FTSE suggests a further 1,000 point fall may be ahead. Our level of 10,236  to rubbish the proposal is key, so worth watching for.

And on the bright side, motor racing returns to telly this week, hopefully the Japanese Grand Prix delivering its usual complement of real entertainment. It is interesting how Red Bull seem to have stopped winning races, since firing their manager, the guy who is married to Ginger Spice. Obviously, the teams previous success had absolutely nothing to do with Christian Ginger Spice Horner’s team curation. So far, the Red Bull team seem to outfitted themselves with entirely the wrong sort of wings.

#Germany #S&P500 US President Trump wrote a book called “The Art of The Deal” which essentially launched his future in 1987. We’ve a sneaking suspicion the Iranians may have read his book and now, are cheerfully mincing his efforts in the Middle East. A standard President Trump ploy is to open negotiations by asking for the outrageous. Recent examples include Greenland and his threat to take over the entire island or his threat to fire the head of the Federal Reserve due to lack of action on Interest Rates.  And, of course, every single initial announcement about tariff’s.

Of course, his intention was to bring parties to the negotiating table, while creating the impression he was in the stronger position.. The Middle East is providing further entertainment, though with a nasty sting in the tail. For instance, President Trump announces a potential peace deal, Crude Oil prices immediately fall. Then Iran announces there is no peace deal, immediately provoking a rise in oil prices and making the Middle East happy again. Cynical traders have probably caught onto the current game with oil, indulging Short positions on President Trump announcements, closing and switching to Long’s the instant the media report unnamed sources in Iran claim there are no peace talks. It would be funny, if it were not for the damage being done to the west. What’s surprising, current price movements are nowhere close to those from March to June 2022, when the Ukraine thing was being blamed (incorrectly) for oil prices running amok. Back then, Crude Oil prices spiked before the Russians had fuelled a single tank.

This, obviously, has nothing to do with Fevertree but their share price has displayed worrying degrees of ineptitude in the last year. It broke the long term downtrend, since 2022,  at 710p, yet has failed to grace the markets with any reasonable share price. Equally though, the share has failed to dip below the level of trend break in the period since, giving some confusing hope some slight recovery may be on the cards.

At present, we shall be hopeful, if the price manages above just 828p. Such a movement should trigger an initial surge toward 878p with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at a future 975p. At this price level, things become interesting as market closure above a future 975p takes the share into the gravitic attraction for a distant 1193p.

Our alternative scenario, if things turn pear shaped, allows for reversal below 765p trigggering a visit down to an initial 679p with our secondary, if broken, painting a bottom and a hopeful bounce from 633p. While we do suspect some gains may be on the cards, the reversal potentials may also be worth raising a glass to!

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

We’re always a little wary, when a few folk as enthusiastically about a share, especially when it’s one we’ve not come across.. Our reasoning is simple, fearing a situation where internet chat rooms are being used to hype something and generally, a glance at the share chart will quickly give a clue as to whether it’s a sane play, or an opportunity to send traders funds on holiday for a protracted period. IP Group share price movements has been “vague” since 2022 and in recent months, the market appears to be ensuring no upward break takes place (circled), at least since November last year.

However… movements during March 2026 are proving easier to monitor than the US’s position on Iran and the Middle East. Or at least, that’s how the theory goes.

Apparently, above just 53.5p should trigger gains to an initial 57.7p with our secondary, if beaten, a confident sounding 63.25p. While these numbers may sound a little tame, the price only needs above 55p to suggest “Showtime” is beginning, dangling a third level attraction from a sensible looking 74.5p and very probable hesitation. Movement such as this would certainly indicate the share price breaking free from the stupor since 2022. Perhaps the company are about to announce investment in a concept which makes McDonalds strawberry milkshake machines work reliably!

Living in Argyll, when we’re on the mainland and heading home, a guilty secret is to stop at a McDonalds and order a milkshake and chips to consume on the ferry. Regardless which McDonalds outlet we choose, there seems to be a 50:50 chance of the milkshake machines working. And despite Argyll being the largest “shire” in the UK (Scotland does not have “counties”), thankfully we’re not infested with corporate fast food outlets, McDonald being the most common surname rather than a source of “food”.

There is a reasonable, though unlikely, chance IP Group share price is awaiting a bit of a hammering. Below just 49p threatens reversal down to an initial 45.5 with our secondary, if broken, at 40p and a very possible bottom. While this scenario makes some visual sense, there has been a plethora of positive movements which hint at hidden strength, just awaiting an excuse for an upward nudge. We do suspect this shall prove worthy of a glance in the weeks to come.

#Gold #SP500 It seems some folk have woken up to QinetiQ, a UK company who are one of the worlds foremost in producing weapons which can kill people somewhere else on the world. Rockets and Missiles seem to be their specialist subject, probably rather more capable than the Pound Shop rockets and drones  being flung around with abandon in the Middle East. There was a Tom Clancy book, “Red Storm Rising” I think, which has proven fairly prescient, detailing how GPS co-ordinates can make it easy for munitions to reach their target. However, in the best Tom Clancy tradition, the US Government controls the satellites which issue GPS data, capable of substantially widening the error range of each co-ordinate or just turning the system off entirely.

But nowadays, the real terror for the security services must be the possibility of someone with a Smartphone posing for a snapshot beside the Thames Barrier, the hidden data behind the photograph holding the exact location reference. Such a photograph, sent to a “chum” in a distant country, would provide fairly exact target location data which could be used for anything. QinetiQ on the other hand probably make missiles which broadly ignore GPS data, instead relying on a vast library of actual waypoints and targets. To be blunt, it’s pretty horrible but there can be little doubt current world affairs for a company like QinetiQ must suggest it’s raining soup and they are the folk who’ve invented the soupbowl.

All of this is a bit of a puzzle, the company share price being pretty rangebound over the last couple of years.  Currently at 476p, the share needs a 10% rise to even begin to alert us something has changed. Movements above 525p currently look capable of a lift to an initial 550p with our secondary, if bettered, at a confident looking 602p. A nudge such as this would be extremely significant, suggesting a third level future target of 674p should become possible.

However, the lackadaisical attitude over the last year bothers us – a lot.  Sometimes, it feels the market punishes QQ just because they’re not a household name like Rolls Royce or Lockheed Martin, thus condemned to spend their life as a “Me Too” share rather than an actual driver for the sector.

This being the case, the immediate suggestion is of weakness below 458 triggering reversal to an initial 438p with our secondary, if broken, a less likely bottom at 402p. From QinetiQ’s viewpoint,  hopefully peace doesn’t rear its ugly head in the Middle East as they probably supply goods to the good guys. Or we can hope this is the case.

On the bright side, we’re slowly approaching another Grand Prix weekend.

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
