Boeing Stock Price Consolidates

Boeing’s share price opened the year with a series of gap downs. These gap downs are yet to be retraced, as some of the gains of Boeing in 2023 have been lost. The opening price of Boeing in 2024 was $257.29. It has been an awful year for Boeing Investors as the current price stands at $148.65 as at the time of this writing.

For the past two months, Boeing machinists have been on strike. Members of the International Association of Machinists accepted an offer that included 38% pay increases, along with a ratification bonus that workers can elect to use as part of their retirement savings. The union rejected a previous offer from Boeing that included a 35% pay hike, extending the strike that began on Sept. 13.

The striking employees, whose absence had put production at a near-standstill, can return to work next week Wednesday “and must return by beginning of their shift on Nov. 12, 2024,” according to the union and the company. The last 3 months candle sticks closed bearish. There are indications of a possible rally as striking workers resume in 6 days. $BA price has been consolidating since October 10, at a support level at $146.89. We might see price rally to $241 in 2025.

Alphabet’s Price Might Break Out Of Range

Alphabet Inc. was founded 26 years ago. The establishment of Alphabet Inc. was prompted by a desire to make the core Google business “cleaner and more accountable” while allowing greater autonomy to group companies that operate in businesses other than Internet services.

$GOOG’s opening price in 2024 was $138.40. Price rallied to an all-time of $191.72 this July. Some of the gains in 2024 have been lost as the current price is at $166.72 per share. Alphabet, Inc will report earnings today, expecting Q3 adjusted earnings of $1.84 per share on $86.37 billion in revenue, up from last year’s $1.55 per share and $76.7 billion in revenue.

The fall in the price of Google made price reach $146.97 on September 9, which stands as the current support level. A bounce from the support started on September 11, 2024. There have been a price range in the value of $GOOG since mid-September. Price has been ranging from $160.01 and $167.43. A breakout of the range to the upside is expected soon. The might lead to price gain in the value of $GOOG after the recent loss. The next rally might lead to the price of GOOG breaking new highs in the coming weeks. We see price hitting 190.40 in a couple of weeks.

Oil Price Spikes As Iran Attacks Israel

Crude oil prices jumped and stocks tumbled about two weeks ago after Iran fired an estimated 180 missiles at Israel in retaliation for the ground invasion of southern Lebanon. A warning from White House officials had been given that a strike was imminent. Price jumped from $70 per barrel to $74 per barrel. Price later rose to $78 on Oct 8, 2024 which currently stands as the highest price of crude oil in two months.

Global stocks tumbled as a result of the recent attacks. According to Reuters, Citigroup Inc made a forecast based on fundamentals. According to Citi, if producer group OPEC+ doesn’t reduce production further, the average price of oil could drop to $60 per barrel in 2025 due to reduced demand and increased supply from non-OPEC countries.

Our analysts on the other hand, see price rallying and our forecast is based majorly on the technicals. We see price rallying to about $90 per barrel before the end of 2025. Price of crude oil falling to $60 is not guaranteed from our analysis, we only see a rally to $90, as price is retesting the support level above $60 with the current price at $70.16. This retesting is momentum for an upward trend. But it all remains to be seen as this war unfolds.

Gold’s Price Consolidates After Reaching All-Time High

In 2015, the lowest price of Gold was at $1047. The bulls have done tremendously well by making the gold price increase in value in the last 9 years. Even during the pandemic, the price of Gold was not really affected, as it was readily considered as a safe haven. The price of Gold reached a new high at $2082 in 2020 despite the disruption that year. Two years later, price fell to $1615. After this fall, the bulls continued the run.

Between August 2020 and December 2023, price of Gold was moving between $1615 and $2082. In latter days of the year 2023, there was a breakout of the resistance level to the upside. This year’s opening price for Gold was at $2023 per ounce. More than 80% of the monthly candlesticks this year closed bullish. The all-time was reached earlier this month at $2588. Since hitting its highs, price has been consolidating around the highs. The current price of Gold is at $2563.03, we should see price reach new highs above $2600 in the next few weeks.

Nvidia Stock Falls After Earning Report

As of September 2024, NVIDIA has a market cap of $2.692 Trillion. This makes NVIDIA the world’s third most valuable company. Nvidia lost $279 billion in value during yesterday’s tech-market selloff, the biggest single-day market-cap decline on record. Prior to this price fall, price of Nvidia fell by 8% on Monday. Nvidia posted modestly better-than-expected second earnings last week, albeit against elevated expectations for the market’s hottest stock.

Despite the recent loss in the value of Nvidia, it’s still been a profitable year for Nvidia. The opening price of Nvidia in 2024 was $49.49. Price reached an all-time high in June 2024 at $141.41. After this high price, there was a correction. This correction made price hit an August low at $90.20. A bounce has since then occurred with the current price at $108.61 as at the time of this publication.

Price of Nvidia might fall to $78.91 in the coming weeks as the bears are active. Price has been overbought using the RSI on the daily chart multiple times, but the four-hour chart shows price has been oversold. This oversold position is not a guarantee for a price recovery. Price is currently in the bear region on the four-hour chart.

Global Stock Rebound After Early August Crash

Since the beginning of August 2023, many investors have begun to count their loses following the global market plunge. On Monday, August 5, stock prices crashed across several economies. Investors were worried about a potential recession and the knock-on effects from the unwind of the yen carry trade.

As of Monday, the 5th, West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell 0.97% to $72.81 a barrel. For Brent crude, the international benchmark, declined 0.90% to $76.12 a barrel. Gold was lower by 1.51% to $2,432.40 per ounce. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped 9 basis points to 3.70%. Bitcoin plunged 14.2% to $49,846.

FTSE 100 closed down to register its biggest drop in more than a year. Overnight, Japan’s stock market suffered its heaviest loss since 1987.

With all of these occurrences last week, the stock market is beginning to recover its losses. As of the time of this writing, Starbucks has gained 22% today, PACs Group has gained 14.50%, Tesla 3.85%, SPX 1.05% in just a single trading day. There is a possibility this rally will continue this quarter, i.e. we expect prices to maintain an upward trend for the rest of August and through September.
