Recent price action coming upto xdivi day9 Aug 2021 00:50
The big drop on Thu was blamed on falling iron ore prices this and whether China will continue its infra structure drive being the main reasons for positive bumper earnings and hence recent bullish sp action for rio and also bhp are among the main reasons analysts are giving that could also be bearish for rio sp, ie iron ore price rises not being maintained due to uncertainty of whether Chinese communist party can be relied upon to continue investing in infrastructure, was what they said in the Sunday telegraph last week to Avoid rio however analysts in the times recently went with a recommendation to buy bhp which is very similar to rio. I too do hope that from Monday till Wed's close prices keep rising before the big 404 point drop on Thu, so hopefully I could buy some at the open tomorrow and hold for the divis hoping it can reclaim the lost ground due to ex divi soon, well if it does that that's the big question, worse it may never claim back 404 points or take months, miner sp's are very volatile, one day up 200-300,next day down the same next day back up the same and almost always Chinese economic data or metal prices esp Iron ore is blamed.
