By Michael Gable
I spoke last week about BHP Billiton ((BHP)) and Rio Tinto ((RIO)) to start seeing some sustained buying to bring them off their lows. That has definitely started happening here with BHP now (which is yielding more than the RBA cash rate now at 3.5%). I may have been a week early with RIO but it looks to me as though it will start its relief rally today. Other stocks that could snap back quite nicely from current levels include Atlas Iron ((AGO)) and Western Areas ((WSA)). In today’s report I have also covered off on Medusa Mining ((MML)) and Boart Longyear ((BLY)) which are other trading ideas on the long side.
Calling a correction in the banks has been almost impossible recently as they relentlessly edge higher, but I am going to attempt it again. In this week’s report I have had a look at Commonwealth Bank ((CBA)), National Bank ((NAB)), and Bank of Queensland (( BOQ)) and have provided the levels where I think they can fall to over the next several weeks and where I feel they can be a buying opportunity. There should be a decent amount of money coming back into the market this year so I don’t expect a big fall to happen.
In terms of the overall market, the XJO (ASX 200) hit my first downside target last week, so read on to find out where I think it could possibly head from here.
ASX 200
The XJO, give or take a few points, fell into my 4880 target last week. As such, I am expecting the market to rally from here. Initially I am looking for levels up towards 5000 – 5050. However, I am open to the idea that a failure of the market to go to a new high will see it fall back to a low of about 4750 or even 4570 as a worst case scenario. If that low does eventuate, then I am anticipating it to happen in early June.
