Would we sell WHC to buy FMG?

Hi James I have had a great run with your call on WHC i was just asking would you sell WHC to buy FMG ? Cheers Craig

Thanks

Craig

Answer

Thanks Craig, we have mentioned a few times this week however in summary:

Whitehaven Coal (WHC) – we remain bullish and like it in the $2.85 region – we are not sellers of WHC at this stage – I actually bought a few more on Friday morning as the stock fell 10%.
Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) – MM has been “stalking” FMG during its more than 40% plunge from late July highs, no change we’re interested into this weakness and we almost stepped up to the plate on Friday, the one aspect stopping that decision was our existing weightings in BHP specifically and commodities more generally.

Portfolio Positioning: Bonds fell, dragging stocks along for the ride, both are now basing in our opinion

Bond markets have struggled over recent weeks as inflation appeared increasingly “sticky,” but it hardly registers on the chart compared to their weakness through 2021/2 and mid-2023. We believe the local credit markets have come back to realistic levels as the RBA awaits further economic data to deliver clarity on the underlying strength and direction of the local economy. Traders have gone from being far too optimistic on rate cuts into Christmas to becoming almost pessimistic; the US futures markets have gone from pricing in three cuts to 1.77 cuts, or one definitely, and probably two.

The Match Out: Gold and Oil left behind again, Equities tick higher

Investors continued the 180-degree about-face from last week's sentiment, happy to take on risk for the second consecutive day to start this week seeing the ASX200 through a 200pt gain from Friday’s panic lows early in today’s session. Tech was the standout as US 2yr yields retreated (marginally) from the spike above 5% last week while Healthcare and Financials also joined in the rebound. Energy and Gold were the main areas finding it tough again today, for the same geopolitical reasons as Monday’s session.
