The local market is in a sideways move for now.

With stocks moving lower we were stopped out of some stocks in the educational portfolio including Pilbara and Australian Strategic Minerals.

We sold the GGUS ETF after it fell below the trailing stop and are open to buying in again.

Michael Gable from Fairmont Equities is one analyst who reckons the S@P 500 could be forming a head and shoulders low pattern. Time will tell.

Other analysts including Mary McNamara have the view that this is a bullish flag continuation pattern forming in the longer-term scheme of things.

 

This chart shows how different futures markets see the coming rises in interest rates.

Telstra is holding at current levels.

Select Harvest could be forming a cyclical low here.

Imdex is only just holding the uptrend line.

Resolute moved above a line of resistance today and we bought some for the educational portfolio.
