Property Stocks Under Pressure

After the strong rally in SGP, LLC, GPT and MGR, the price action looks to be rolling over, pointing lower, and we’ll watch these names closely. SGP appears to be showing the most selling pressure with the current price action taking out the 4.74 low formed on the 26th of April.

Our Algo Engine generated a buy signal on MVA.AXW (Vaneck Vectors Australian Property ETF) back in November at around $18.40, the ETF traded up to $21.30 and in the last week it’s starting to run into selling pressure.

BHP: Resistance In The $24.00 Area

Since posting an intra-day low at $22.50 on May 5th, shares of BHP have lifted over $1.00 to $23.85.

Against a back drop of weakening fundamentals in the Iron Ore and Coal markets, we see this corrective move higher running into resistance in the $24.00 area.

General market downside risk is also adding to our interest in placing orders to exit long positions in BHP at $24.00 going into the weekend.

ALGO Sell Signal in Brambles

The ALGO engine triggered a sell signal on Brambles at yesterday’s close near 10.50.

We don’t see a tremendous amount of downside in the stock with good price support in the $9.60 area.

Internal momentum indicators on the daily charts confirm the ALGO signal and a near-term overbought condition.

We have been suggesting that clients holding long positions take profits or write covered calls in the $11.00 strike price.
