ChartWatch Primer

For a detailed explanation of Carl's technical analysis methodology, be sure to check out this ChartWatch Primer.

Important considerations when using the ChartWatch Daily ASX Scans:

1. The future is unknown. Anything can happen to change the trends in the lists above. A stock in a perfect uptrend or downtrend may not remain that way by the close of trading today. 2. These lists are not exhaustive, they are curated by Carl. You will find that certain stocks might not appear in a particular list on consecutive days but might reappear when Carl feels it deserves to return to the list. 3. This is not a recommendation service, merely an aid to help you better understand the workings of Carl’s technical analysis model in a practical way. Carl will not alert you to stocks that have dropped off a list because their trend has changed – it is up to you to apply the criteria to determine why a particular stock might not still be included. 4. This is general, educational information only – always do your own research.

Shares of Cameco CCJ have gained 6% since it reported third-quarter 2024 results on Nov. 6. CCJ incurred a loss of 1 cent in the quarter against earnings of 24 cents in the year-ago quarter. However, revenues improved 23% year over year. Cameco missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues and earnings.

Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.

The CCJ stock closed at $54.41 yesterday, 7% below its 52-week high of $54.41 and 53.6% above its 52-week low of $35.43. Year to date, Cameco shares have gained 26.9% against the industry’s 15.9% decline. Meanwhile, the broader Zacks Basic Materials sector has moved down 15.9%, while the S&P 500 has climbed 26%.

Cameco’s YTD Performance

The S&P/ASX 200 closed 62.2 points lower, down 0.75%.

A modest unwinding of the Trump Trade that has so dominated local market proceedings over the last week saw some capital pull back from sectors like Technology, Financials, and more generally, those companies with a large portion of US-based earnings.

Alas, this did not mean this capital flowed back toward sectors that are seen to be major losers from the Trump Trade, like Resources and Energy. They were down again.

Still, there were are few sectors that managed to find gains, including uranium – if only recovering somewhat from yesterday's big sell off.

Click/scroll through for the usual reporting of the major sector and stock-specific moves, the broker responses to them, as well as all of the key upcoming economic data in tonight's Evening Wrap.

Let's dive in!

Markets

ASX 200 Session Chart

The S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) finished 62.2 points lower at 8,193.4, roughly mid-range, 0.67% from the session low and 0.76% from the session high. In the broader-based S&P/ASX 300 (XKO), advancers lagged decliners by to a sizeable 101 to 196.

The Utilities (XUJ) (+0.58%) was the only sector closing in the black today, but only modestly so. I note major constituent Origin Energy (+0.90%) drove most of the gain here. No news.

Financials (XFJ) (-1.1%) was the hardest hit sector today, dragged lower by ANZ Group (-4.0%) going ex-dividend $0.83 fully franked, and adverse news updates from Insignia Financial (-4.8%), Magellan Financial Group (-4.8%), and NIB (-4.4%) (see Interesting Moves section below for more details).

A modest unwinding of the Trump Trade that has so dominated local market proceedings over the last week saw some capital pull back from Information Technology (XIJ) (-1.0%). There were also a couple of nasty news related items here, including big falls by Nuix (-22.2%) and Life360 (-7.4%).

Sure, the Trump Trade unwound a touch for those stocks that had benefited from it, but there was no respite for those sectors who are very likely to be hurt by it, like Resources (XJR) (-0.96%). This sector continued to suffer as base metals prices fell sharply on the London Metals Exchange Tuesday, and precious metals continued to edge lower.

Selected commodity price moves from Tuesday

There were some bright spots, however. Uranium stocks generally rebounded after their sharp sell of yesterday. The culprit of that sell off, Paladin Energy (+8.6%) rebounded from Tuesday’s 29% plunge.

I also note that the odd lithium stock gained – but I would say this sector was notably absent from the gainers list today given that lithium minerals prices continue to rally strongly in China (what gives!? 🤔)

Economy

Today

• AUS Wage Price Index September quarter

  • +0.8% and +3.5% p.a. vs +0.9% q/q and +3.6% p.a. forecast and +0.8% q/q and 4.0% p.a. in the June quarter

  • So, better than expected and a solid decline on June quarter wages growth, and does give the RBA a modicum of extra breathing room – but lower wages growth is less likely to stoke economic growth

  • Note, this is the first time wage growth has dipped below 4.0% since the June quarter of last year
