Our Algo Engine has triggered multiple buy signals across the major resource names, both in metals and in energy.
With the peak to trough sell-off among the sector extending between 13% – 20% it’s likely we find some value investors stepping back in to the market.
We’re comfortable with select exposure in BHP, RIO, S32, WPL, OSH, ORG but caution investors that stop-losses below the recent lows will be a prudent way of managing risks.
It seems unlikely that any buying interest from this level will carry the above names to new near-term highs. We’re of the view that a corrective bounce will top out at 5 – 7% above recent lows
We see the recent volatility in oil and iron ore, being primarily driven by US Dollar swings rather than related to any fundamental factors and remain cautious of negative news flow from China’s unsustainable debt problem within their shadow banking industry.
