OPINION

Opinions relating to short-term trades

11/08/2025 09:15

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Copper Miners ETF (WIRE) $13.95

Copper has been one of our preferred bullish views through 2025 and as China starts to offer a supporting hand to the industrial metal, compounding the tailwind from AI and global electrification, the outlook is looking increasingly rosy.

11/08/2025 09:13

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Fortescue Metal (FMG) $18.85

FMG is gathering momentum on the upside as the iron ore price defies gravity, remaining above $US100/MT, and the miner refocuses on its knitting—shipping iron ore most cost-effectively to China.

Shawn’s Trade Idea: BetaShares Uranium ETF (URNM) $8.54

I believe the risk/reward towards the URNM ETF is attractive if we see a spike below $8 over the coming week.

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

There is currently one bullish open trade idea: Long the Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC) at $91.25 with stops at $94.25.

28/07/2025 09:17

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Paladin Energy (PDN) $7.23

On the stock level, I am currently looking for ideas that have no/little correlation to the ASX – and PDN certainly flits that particular bill after retreating over the last year while the ASX200 has posted new all-time highs.

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Copper ETF (WIRE) $13.68

We are looking for copper and its related stocks to break out to fresh 12-month highs in the coming months as AI and EV demand gathers momentum. However, after advancing around 40% from its April low, we can see the current pullback extending a touch further. We like the idea of leaving a resting bid around 3% lower, although this may be tweaked over time.

21/07/2025 09:16

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

There are currently three bullish open trade ideas:

14/07/2025 09:25

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Whitehaven Coal (WHC) $6.14

We are looking for coal stocks, including Peabody (BTU US), that we hold in our International Equities Portfolio, to extend their last two weeks' advance after Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” was recently passed, which includes support for the fossil fuel industry.
