KEY POINTS

  • Hopes of a de-escalation in the Middle East conflict sparked a sharp rally in ASX shares, with markets pricing a faster easing in inflation pressures.
  • But if oil flows resume through the Strait of Hormuz, falling crude prices could weigh on ASX energy stocks like Woodside Energy, Santos and Karoon.
  • In this edition of ChartWatch *LIVE*, we break down the implications for portfolio management and stock selection, with a focus on oil, gas and coal.

Welcome to our weekly ChartWatch *LIVE* Webinar series. Hundreds of Aussie investors joined me at lunchtime to learn more about technical analysis by using the ASX stocks they’re interested in as case studies.
