    You may recall that in a comment about CMC Markets CMCX LN just under a week ago , I highlighted that IG Group IGG LN were among the most oversold UK Stocks .

    Well the stock price has started to address that statistic today, rallying by +11.00%.

    Lets not forget that according to industry press IG were recently approached by Crypto…[Read more]

    We didn’t have to look far for another example of mispriced US stock in fact we didn’t even need to leave the retail sector. Abercrombie and Fitch ANF US are up + 26.00% as the stock beat earnings consensus by 30.0 cents and pointed to growth at their Hollister subsidiary.

    The stock was rated as a moderate buy among 12 analysts – 4 of whom…[Read more]

    US mid tier department store Kohls KSS US is set open higher by around +27.0% today after it reported estimate beating numbers.

    At least 13 analysts cover the stock on Wall Street so I am forced to wonder how did most of them get it so wrong and how many other stocks out there have been incorrectly labelled ??

    The UK is often criticised for lack of technology and growth stocks and much of that criticism is justified.

    However, there are growth stocks in the UK top flight and one of those is Airtel Africa AAF LN .

    The stock is up +167.0%over the year to date, and by +206.0% over the last 52 weeks .

    Memory stocks have rebounded today with Sandisk SNDK up by + 12.0% , Western Digital WDC up +8.0% and Micron MU by +7.0%. this comment from Morgan Stanley is likely behind some of those gains .

    Good Morning all,

    The mood in the market this morning seems to be one of cautious optimism. I will be watching the Nasdaq 100 index for clues and in particular how it performs around old support and resistance circa 24446/50 and 25536/40 above that .

    In Europe the Dax has opened up by +1.0% and the Stoxx 600 by +0.57%.

    Almost an hour into the US trading day and the Nasdaq 100 index is once gain struggling to post and retain gains on the day.

    Markets are effectively a continuous auction between buyers and sellers, who are trying to establish an equilibrium price, at which business can be transacted .

    Its very easy to focus on silicon valley and the hyperscalers when thinking about data entre capex and buildout .

    This is what Swiss bank UBS has to say about those Nvidia earnings:

    Summary Thoughts

    Consistent w/our preview, NVDA’s guidance was very solid (even better than our $63-64B) with demand commentary delivering another full throated message that the market is too concerned about any “bubble” that may be forming.

    While still probably prudent to…[Read more]

    Looking at Nasdaq 100 CFDs today its pretty clear where the resistance has been in the morning session. Nvidia earnings last night may have provided the markets with a tonic, but that will only matter, if the wider market can build on that, make gains and hold on to them into the US close.

    What are you thoughts?

      • I will remain sceptical until the price action shows me otherwise as to options I am told that the recent up tick in volatility has made short term/ ODTE options too dear for many to sensibly trade.

    Has Danish wind farm builder Orsted ORSTE DC, spent too much time on the “Naughty Step “?

    The charts below suggest that could be the case. And as you can see the candle chart is full of unfilled gaps above .

    Lloyds Banking Group has come within a whisper of trading at £1.00 in recent sessions, posting a high of 95.861p.

    So, will one of the UKs most widely traded and owned shares be able to reach the round number, and what would it take to get it there?

    When it comes to the FTSE 100 Index will it, or won’t it reach 10,000? Is the question on most investors’ minds.

    As I type we are some 450 points or approximately -5.0% beneath that round number.

    The index has added +15.39% year to date, so we would need to see that jump by+ 30.0% to hit the target, and that might be asking too much before…[Read more]
