Gold Update: Look To Buy Near $1200.00

Over the last 7 months, Gold has traded in a broad range between $1200 and $1300.

As inflation, interest rate expectations and equity market risks have fluctuated over that time, so has the price of Gold.

On balance, we expect the $1200.00 support level to hold and find buyers as the yellow metal moves back to the top part of the recent price range.

Investors looking for the price of Gold to move higher can look to buy NCM, EVN or the BetaShare Gold ETF with the symbol: QAU.

Caltex – Price Support

FY17 refining margins have improved from last year after averaging US$12.40 versus US$10 over 1H16. 

We expect  CTX stock price to find support at the current price level and trade higher off the back of the earnings result announced in August.

Assuming DPS of $1.15, we have CTX on 3.7% yield, and when complimented with a covered call, we ‘re delivering 10 – 12% annualised cash flow.

ALGO Update: Buy Signal In CIMIC Group

Our ALGO engine triggered a buy signal in Cimic Group yesterday on the ASX close at $38.20.

After posting a new 52-week high of $41.10 on May 24th, shares of CIM had pulled back over 8% to 37.50  before recovering into Friday’s close.

A report that CIM is preparing to offload its 23% stake in Macmahon Holdings and restart its share buyback plan helped the stock find buyers.

This, combined with the credit rating upgrade from S&P in late May, gives CIM a positive outlook going forward.

At 23x earnings, the shares are mildly expensive, but the upside potential to $41.00 sets up a reasonable “buy/write” investment opportunity.
