The S&P/ASX 200 closed 6.9 points lower, down 0.08%.

No new record for the ASX 200 today, not much of anything at all really. It barely budged on the last day of the week of the last day of the month on the last official day of August reporting season.

But that doesn't mean we don’t have a RECORD BUMPER Evening Wrap for you tonight! 💪💪💪

I’m quite sure we’ve never had so many Biggest Gainers to discuss, nor so many broker upgrades and downgrades of the biggest and fastest moving stocks on the ASX!

So, be sure to click/scroll through for the usual reporting of the major sector and stock-specific moves, the broker responses to them, as well as all the key economic data in tonight's Evening Wrap.

PLUS: I have detailed technical analysis on the Nasdaq Composite, the S&P/ASX 200, and Iron Ore in today's ChartWatch.

Let's dive in!

ASX 200 (XJO) intraday chart 29 Aug
ASX 200 Session Chart

The S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) finished 6.9 points lower at 8,973.1, roughly mid-range, 0.28% from its session low and 0.20% from its high. Despite the minor slip in the benchmark, in the broader-based S&P/ASX 300 (XKO) advancers beat decliners by a decent margin – 157 to 119.

For the week, the XJO finished just 5.7 points higher or up 0.06%, 0.9% from its intraweek high and 0.6% from its intraweek low.

There wasn’t a great deal of movement today at the headline level, as evidenced by today’s slender 7 point loss. But scratch a little bit deeper, and there was a whole lot going on.

I won’t list all of the massive gains and losses – because they are suitably addressed in the Movers section below – but suffice it to say, the Gainers list pretty much reads like my ChartWatch ASX Scans Uptrends List! Hopefully that’s something you follow, as 4DX, APE, ASB, BGD, FAL, HVN, LIN, MMS, and VR1 are just a few that have popped up regularly over the last few weeks and months (for many).

It hasn’t been all one-way traffic, though as the odd earnings hand grenade has taken the odd strong uptrend with it. Clinuval (CUV) (-15%) and Bioxyne (BXN) (-13.8%) are a couple of examples of Uptrends Scan List constituents that got tagged today ☹️. Overall though, I would say it has been a largely productive earnings season 👍👍.

The other interesting items from today, for me, came from the ongoing resurgence of battery metals stocks, particularly the lithiums – and separately, a solid bounce in uranium stocks.

You would have noticed in ChartWatch ASX Scans recently a growing number of lithium names, including majors Mineral Resources (MIN) (+1.4%) and Pilbara Minerals (PLS) (+6.5%), and I can say with confidence that Liontown Resources (LTR) (+6.2%) will be added to the mix in Monday morning's edition.

As for uranium, we discussed in ChartWatch (Evening Wrap version) earlier this week how the uranium price is on the mend after second quarter production reports from the major producers, but mainly Kazatomprom, appeared to show a modestly increased degree of supply-side constraint.

Today’s well received results from Boss Energy (BOE) (+7.7%) no doubt also helped the sector. I note that ChartWatch ASX Scans has recently added Deep Yellow (DYL) (+6.1%) and Nexgen Energy (NXG) (+5.2%) to the Uptrends Scan List.

As I look at the chart of the Comp above, I am reminded of one of my favourite ever songs.

Don’t stop me now…because I’m having a ball 🕺

Can anything stop this bull market?

  • Trump’s tariffs couldn’t.

  • The seemingly constantly on the verge of recession in the USA couldn’t.

  • China’s slowing economy couldn’t (check out their stock market! 📈).

  • The cries of value obsessed investors about "ridiculously high valuations" couldn’t (and cries and cries, into ultimately what is now a river of tears because they’re not invested…😭!!!).

As a trend following technical analysis, I can tell you there’s nothing sweeter than value investor tears in a bull market*! 😉

I received an email today from a reader asking about the meaning of “FRP”. I apoligise, we get new readers coming on all the time, and I really should refer to some of the assumed knowledge in ChartWatch more often!

It stands for Full Risk Position. It is a term that I have come to use over the years to describe my own personal allowable risk allocation to a particular market – in this case US equities.

The Comp is my benchmark index for US equities, and based on its trends, price action, and candles (all the stuff I’ve taught you), I'll decide a level of total US-portfolio exposure. Typically, it will be FRP, 2/3RP, or 1/3RP, but sometimes I'll split hairs and through in 1/2RP too.

These risk limits say nothing about the individual positions in stocks within the market I might take – those are dictated by their own respective technical analysis aspects. This is an overall portfolio-level risk management tool that ensures I am never too far out of whack with the broader market.

There’s a bit to dig into here – more than I have time to discuss on a Friday evening in ChartWatch! I hope to do more work on this and other risk management concepts within my trading model over the course of a series of webinars in the near future. Stay tuned on that one!

For now, with respect to the Comp, until I see the tell-tale signs of building supply-side control ⚠️:

  • A lower peak and or lower trough

  • Long black-bodied candles, long upward pointing shadows – particularly into known points of supply like 21805

  • Price closes below short term uptrend ribbon (presently 21130-21355)

  • Short term uptrend ribbon neutralises (i.e., turns amber)

Then, as the immortal Freddy Mercury said… Don’t stop me now = FRP 🤘!!!

*Or Collingwood supporters' tears after the 2018 AFL grand final 🦅
*Or English tears after we win 5-0 in the Ashes this year! 💪

S&P/ASX 200 (XJO)

ASX 200 (XJO) chart 29 Aug
S&P/ASX 200 chart (click here for full size image)

Blip.

More specifically: Friday blip.

More specifically: Friday, the last day of the month blip.

If I squint, I can see a tiny downward pointing shadow (👍), but as I write this sentence I realise what a waste of pixels I’ve just created.

Given it’s about that time on a Friday evening, let’s just cut to the chase here:

If the end of capitalism as we know it is about to befall the XJO – it’s not yet known by those investors with all the inside knowledge and the unlimited capital to move the dial.

So, if the world doesn’t seem concerned about proceedings – and those proceedings look substantially decent as per the trends, price action, and candles above – then who am I to worry? 🤷

Have a safe and wonderful FRP weekend everyone! 🍻

Iron Ore 62% (Front month, back-adjusted) SGX

Iron Ore 62- (Front month, back-adjusted) SGX chart 29 Aug
"Developing" (click here for full size image)

The last time we covered iron ore was in ChartWatch in the Evening Wrap on 13 August.

In that update, I noted a “credible showing of developing demand-side control”.

Looking at the above chart, let’s go with “still developing” – but developing in the right direction!

We have another higher trough, plus a couple of very solid demand-side candles (long, full white bodies) on 25 and 28 August, and the short term uptrend ribbon appears to be doing its job as acting a zone of dynamic demand.

Really, the only thing we don’t have is a test of the major point of supply at 107.45. Some decent candles into there, with high closes, would suggest the latent supply that likely exists at that level has been consumed.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, even if iron ore can get through 105.20-107.45, there’s another massive zone of supply at 109.20-109.90.

Well spotted – and yes – it will likely take some serious excess demand to crack them all. But I’ll circle back to the “developing” thesis at this point, and conclude that the balance of probabilities continues to lie with upside progress – albeit likely gradually so.
