Analyst Report: Anglo American plc
Anglo American's mining portfolio spans many commodities and continents. Like other large diversified miners, Anglo has significant exposure to copper, iron ore and metallurgical coal, but it is unique among the global majors given its significant platinum group metals and diamonds output. The company accounts for about one third of the world’s platinum supply and around 30% of palladium supply. Anglo also owns 85% of De Beers, in most years the world's largest supplier and marketer of rough gem diamonds by value. Anglo also plans to move back into the crop nutrients business via its Woodsmith polyhalite project in the United Kingdom. In May 2024, Anglo announced that it will restructure to focus on copper, iron ore, and crop nutrients, while selling or spinning off its other businesses.
RatingPrice TargetTechnical Assessment: Bullish in the Intermediate-Term
Our short- to intermediate-term technical scorecard remains mostly bullish for the major indices. For the S&P 500 (SPX), the five-day/13-day and eight-day/21-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers are bullish; the Vortex Indicator and the 21-day rate-of-change (ROC) are in bullish territory; and the Chande Trend Meter (CTM) is improving, but only slightly positive. Daily momentum is still bullish and there was no chart damage during the recent pullback. Some market breadth measures for the SPX are neutral or just slightly positive. Some 59% of stocks in the index are above their 200-day average, while the bullish percent index is only 55%. For the S&P 100 (OEX), 66% of stocks are above their 200-day average; for the Nasdaq 100, the reading is 62%. All of these measures have been in downtrends since late September, and we would like to see them improve to give us more confidence as we move deeper into 2025. So far, the stock market has shaken off a lot of troubling news -- but as evidenced by the price action on Friday, concerns remain and can reemerge quickly. The DeepSeek AI issue seems (seems) to be old news, but the impact of tariffs is an ongoing debate. In a bull market, stocks typically deal with difficult news, digest it, and move higher. The major indices remain in sideways consolidations, with the key intraday levels and range for the SPX between 5,773 and 6,128. For the Nasdaq, the range is 18,832 to 20,205. For the QQQ, it is 500 to 538. A strong move outside these ranges could set the stage for the next intermediate-term trend. (Mark Arbeter, CMT)
