Shawn’s Trading Ideas – hit on IEU

• Our resting bid of 93 in the ASX-listed iShares European Equities ETF (IEU) was filled yesterday afternoon; our stop remains at 89.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas – Europe & Fortescue

We continue to believe the European region will outperform the US through 2025. We are also now “stalking” a trade in FMG, believing any washout on the downside will present an excellent risk/reward buying opportunity.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas – Looking at Bitcoin, but no trade yet

iShares Large-Cap China ETF (IZZ)

Chinese equities continue outperforming their US peers, with the ASX-traded Large-Cap China ETF (IZZ) making new 3-year highs on Wednesday.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas – Bullish European Equities

Hence, potential pullbacks are likely to be shallower as money is allocated into the region in line with ongoing upgrades and the current strong earnings season. • We remain bullish on European equities, looking to buy dips.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas – Buy Copper ETF

As discussed previously, we are bullish about Copper (Cu) targeting new recent highs over the coming weeks/months. The Wire ETF has dragged the chain compared to ASX-traded Sandfire (SFR), with the overseas heavyweight Cu stocks not yet embracing the industrial metal’s recovery.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas

We are bullish on Chinese equities, especially from a relative valuation perspective. After consolidating their stellar gains when the significant stimulus was unleashed on the Chinese economy and equity market in September, we believe they have commenced another leg higher.

Shawn’s Trading Ideas

One of our favourite investment/trading philosophies is to buy quality companies when they get dragged down by broader negative news/moves. This morning is all about AI bringing a couple of ASX stocks to the fore:
