Pressure on Israel government rises to move to a ceasefire if it’s passed. Shipping re-routing around Africa won’t help inflation so west in a bit of quandary as it’s minimal effect on the east ie, Russia China as they use a different route and Russia has virtually decoupled from west and thus circulation most of its oil and gas to eastern markets. West suffers while the Red Sea problems remain as oil, gas, supply chains heavily use suez so not in their interest for that situation to carry on. Wall Street won’t be happy!

UK seem to have changed position on a ceasefire in Gaza this morning in the news so likely will vote for a ceasefire later today. US just looking for a change in the word slightly to save face. Won’t end the conflict straight away if a resolution is passed but there’ll be huge pressure bearing down on Israel to move towards a ceasefire. Hopefully easy the pressure point in the Red Sea area…

Merry Xmas GL

Yes, US market dropped over 1% yesterday. The futures over there this morning look more positive so hopefully some dip buying before we head into Xmas week. I suspect and dip will be seized upon as an opportunity for investor to load up on their chosen stocks for 2024

It dropped when investors took profits on where they felt it reach the top of its current trading range. I have RR currently trading between 285-301p so will need to break either of those and hold to break to the up or downside. Lloyds my pick for next year along with a good dividend 46.5-48p and struggling to break 48p and hold. Barclays trading between 146.5-152p and struggling to break 152p and hold, Barclays has a good dividend too. Profits have been taken at the top of both these banks recently when and they bounce off the top of their current ranges.

Not the oil price either as although it’s up today on news it’s till relatively low to where it has been in the past year or more.

Lloyds, barclays centrica, rolls Royce all upgraded in the RNS with out performs amongst them so don’t expect broker updates to make an SP to suddenly take off. It’s a marathon not a 100m sprint.

No manipulation, stocks trade within a trading range. News or events break these trading ranges to the up or the down side so you either take the long term hold strategy and ride out the peaks and troughs or you trade within those ranges. Certain short term news can create speculation to make quick profit. FTSE100 is weighted towards commodities.

Asian market up overnight and FTSE100 futures well in the positive area this morning. Looks good today 😉

Anyone who bought shares under a pound and bought a lot at those prices is going to be pretty happy seeing an increase in capital since that time and dividends while they hold them. What’s not to like.There are companies returning better dividend yields on the FTSE100 but RR have to bring it back at some level to start. Small steps sometimes create big strides.

“cev i agree he forgets some of us have been invested here decades so have seen a lot of changes in the business and sp and no charts predicted that 😀😀😀😀”

the horse and cart was here for many many decades & centuries before it was replaced by the automobile so going on your theory above perhaps you’ve been here too long. 😇😇😇😇

You don’t need a chart to read and evaluate the news and possible geopolitical effects on the stock market. RR is currently doing ok today. Some people have too high expectations in such short a time. Patience is required ! IMO

Ars enal

Charts are still better than gut feeling, intuition or sticking your finger in the air outside and predicting rain tomorrow. Nothing is perfect but gives you a fighting chance 😁😁😁

cev & **** nal

just to help you two out, some shares are suffering today as a result of concerns in the red sea. oil price is rising due to safety concerns on oil passing through suez. across over to the side of the world at the panama canal and their are various issues but mainly the worst drought in 50 years causing environmental issues that have restricted the volume of shipping that passes through on a daily basis for some time. both point where pointed out here last night for today. oil stocks are up today are up today for a reason 😉😉😉

****nal

then don’t read or comment on them. i never left by the way just didn’t feel the need to post everyday when the sp was going to rise and then listen to your drivel. charts predicted the fall last week and where roughly it would fall to whilst you two where calling many chartist here out with no idea how it would pull back. not unhealthy for a share price to pull back and rise before the next leg up either 😎😎😎

Are you a school teacher by any chance as people here are not school children who need you to scrutinise there posts for grammar and spelling mistakes every time they post. As long as I understand their general point or information that they post here then I’m cool with gramma or spelling mistakes. Predictive text inside some apps is very much a nightmare sometimes and with no spell check. 😇😇😇😇😇

You understand nothing, it’s over as you can’t polish a turd with your excuses, your beginning to sound like an EU re moaner. Stock markets have moved on from Ukraine unless there’s money being printed direct from the western tax payers to the money men in walls street. Please drop the chat about wars and return to the discussion about RR and anything that affects the RR share price. If you don’t like my English gramma either I can always post in Spanish German or French 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

What’s your take on what’s happening there, has it bottomed out after recent news and the drops in the price of lithium? Been rising albeit slowly over past few sessions, any further news due after they got the funding through coming?

Rr101

Remember all that money that was taken out on the drops from 310+ is currently sitting on the sides to see how it goes over next few days. Slightest bit of good news over next few days and it’s off to the races if they start coming back in. Fundementals haven’t changed here as I see it at the moment. Big catalyst here is always when they bring back the dividend some time in 2024 😁 markets have priced up to a 1% drop in uk interest rates by spring 2024 so they can only be expecting a mild recession in the uk next year where the BOE will have to lower interest rates accordingly to counteract that assumption IMO

Guys/girls

The war in Ukraine isn’t of concern to Wall Street anymore apart from the US and the EU sending more money in on a fools errand. Most of these monies will feed back through the pockets of western companies when it’s spent by Ukraine. Basically printing money through the back door through western companies whilst adding to their own countries debt piles by stealth. As long as they can keep that process from spiking bonds/treasury notes then the stock market wins. As for the war in Ukraine it’s lost, Ukraine have maximum 300,000 active military personnel left whilst Russia have over 750,000 active personnel in the area alone so based on those numbers it’s only going one way. Wars of this nature are generally won by boots on the ground, it’s nothing like any war the west since the end of WW2. It’s over, jog on from this topic and talk about RR.

Red Sea effect on shipping is the only issue that will bother stock markets, everything else is being contained inside Israel and Gaza. Don’t confuse Wall Street of having any empathy or compassion on world events unless they can make or loose money from it GL and Good night!

The issues at the Panama Canal are actually benefiting the UK and the EU as the volume of shipping isn’t getting through as it has. As a result a lot of LNG has been diverted to the UK and EU markets so hopefully that helps energy prices over this part of the world. 😁GL
