Hi Jeff,

We do indeed like the new Woodside Energy Group (WDS) into recent demerger weakness i.e. we like WDS around $30 initially looking for 15-20% upside.

The Match Out: The selling picks up the pace, data drives the weakness

The local market is now on a 4-day losing streak – its worst run since January (5 sessions) – with today being the worst of the batch. As we said this morning, US stocks are leading the weakness, having fallen for six consecutive days; their worst losing streak since June. Equities were on the back foot early following a soft session overnight, stemming from strong-than-expected retail sales numbers, which put pressure on rate cut expectations. Early buyers were hurt today with the market not “feeling right all day”, come the close, 92% of the ASX200 finished down, and not surprisingly, all sectors finished lower today, though there was some relief late in the session as the index closed 27pts / 0.35% off the lows.

What Matters Today: Will banning Russian metals by the LME move the proverbial goalposts?

The London Metal Exchange (LME) has banned the delivery of Russian metal following tough sanctions imposed by the US and UK. The LME is a central market for metals such as aluminium, copper, and zinc. If the supply taps are turned off, prices will likely rise as they did overnight, e.g. over 90% of the aluminium on the LME is of Russian origin. However, prices have a tendency, just like water, to move in the path of least resistance and with plenty of buyers still happy to take delivery of Russian metal, by whatever means, advances are likely to be controlled in nature, assuming they do occur.
