Since this time last week the market has put on about 90 points and continues to look like it will edge higher towards 5800 over the next few weeks. We have an interest rate announcement today but futures markets are pricing in about 90 per cent chance of no change. Whether the next move is up or down and whether it happens this year or next is not an issue in our opinion. What matters is that for at least the next couple of years, they will be in stimulatory territory, and that is supportive of markets. As mentioned previously, the near term focus is now on specific companies and their upcoming financial results, so we should find the next few weeks particularly interesting.<\/p>\n
Today we take a look at National Australia Bank ((NAB)).
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nNAB spent much of 2014 making a “flag formation”, as it corrected back against the longer-term uptrend (shown by the two blue lines). Like the other banks, it broke out earlier this year and staged a very impressive rally. After pulling back a few months ago, you will notice that it has come back to some uptrend support (indicated by the red line). Recent price action has seen it rally quite nicely, back above the flag. A crossing of the MACD is now very imminent (circled) which would also indicate a movement higher for NAB. We expect NAB to rally from here until it hits resistance between $36.50 – $37.00.<\/p>\n
