Recommended Posts

Mathews Darcy mentioned that the quarterly production report released by BHP Group recently showed strong performance in copper and iron ore businesses, but adverse weather conditions affected coal production. Despite the upward trends in copper and iron ore prices, the market response to the stock price of BHP was relatively subdued. This article will delve into the analysis of the quarterly report of BHP Group and discuss its impact on the stock market and the reactions of investors.

Quarterly Performance and Market Response
Mathews Darcy pointed out that despite price increases in copper and iron ore on Wednesday, the stock price of BHP only saw a slight growth after the quarterly report release, reflecting the tepid response of investors to the report. Particularly noteworthy is the decline in the stock price of BHP amidst significant overnight increases in copper and nickel prices and iron ore prices maintaining a six-week high.

Additionally, Mathews Darcy noted that major brokerage firms have begun adjusting their ratings and price targets for BHP based on the latest quarterly data. Several brokerage reports indicate that despite strong demand for copper and iron ore, the overall performance of BHP did not meet market expectations, possibly due to production constraints in its coal division.

Investment Strategies and Future Outlook
Mathews Darcy advised that when considering BHP stock, investors should carefully analyze the performance of its various divisions and future market prospects. While price fluctuations in mineral resources offer profit opportunities for BHP, investors should also be aware of the potential impact of price fluctuations on company performance. Furthermore, paying attention to brokerage research reports and rating updates will help investors better understand market dynamics and potential investment risks.

Mathews Darcy also emphasized the importance of diversified investments, especially in an industry facing price volatility and geopolitical risks. Diversifying investments among different resource stocks can effectively reduce the impact of single market fluctuations on the investment portfolio.

    • Hi @CharlotteIG I sold my last shares on Monday this week and they have still not settled.  Could you take a look please?  Thanks.
    • From the investor's perspective it seems a fantastic idea but I don't think it could happen. Even if it happens, it would be like a gimmick in which they reduce your own money from investment and then add them back and show them as if it's the interest on your original investment. Crypto is not meant to be a stable investment option and it seems very unlikely that such a thing could be possible. I don't have too much knowledge of economics but I can say that such a thing is not feasible.
    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend Mode - Impulse Structure - Impulse wave Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details - Wave 5 still struggles around the Fibonacci support zone. A diagonal seems to be developing for blue wave ‘c’ of 4. Still needs a sharp break out of the diagonal for wave 5 to begin. Invalidation remains at 2245.17. Gold’s price trajectory stands as a resolute testament to bullish sentiment, with a clear resurgence in the long-term uptrend since its nadir in September 2024, bottoming out at 1616. Since this pivotal low, the precious metal has demonstrated remarkable resilience, marking a gain exceeding 40%. Yet, a correction in this bullish trajectory commenced on April 12, 2024. Noteworthy is the corrective nature of this pullback, hinting that it is merely a transient pause before the commodity recommences its ascent to new highs.   Delving into the daily chart through an Elliott wave lens, the 1616 bottom signifies the completion of the supercycle degree wave (IV). The ensuing rally represents wave (V) of the same degree, unfolding in an impulse fashion. The initiation of wave III of (IV) from the October 2023 low at 1810 has progressed in a robust impulse, presently navigating the intermediate wave (3) within primary wave 3 (blue circled). Therefore, ample runway remains before the culmination of wave (V). Simplifying our analysis, attention is best directed towards the intermediate wave (3), currently undergoing a corrective phase labeled as wave 4, projected to find support within the 2315.5-2246 Fibonacci zone.   Turning to the H4 chart, two potential corrective scenarios emerge:   1st Scenario   The first scenario illustrates a zigzag pattern originating from the 2432 peak. Here, blue wave ‘c’ completes an ending diagonal, with confirmation of bullish momentum anticipated at 2353 for the onset of wave 4. However, this diagonal would be invalidated if prices dip below 2258.9.   2nd Scenario   Conversely, the second scenario portrays a double zigzag structure unfolding from the 2432 peak, possibly extending to the 38.2-50% Fibonacci retracement range of wave 3 at 2246-2191 before wave 4 concludes and wave 5 initiates.   In summation, while Gold’s price trajectory remains bullish, it currently experiences a corrective setback. A breach above 2353 would favor the first scenario, whereas a breach below 2258.8 would nullify it, ushering in the second scenario, projected to find support within the 2246-2191 zone. After wave 4, the resumption of wave 5 should propel prices to fresh highs.         Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
