Opportunity To Buy Macquarie

This story features MACQUARIE GROUP LIMITED. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: MQG

By Michael Gable 

The Australian market continues to look well supported with resources once again doing the heavy lifting at the expense of the banks. RIO is now through $100 and BHP should shortly push through our $40 target. Despite oil prices hitting a 5-month high, energy stocks have been lagging for nearly two months now. It is a sector that we are looking to get back into when share prices have bottomed out, so stay tuned for that.

This week we present an update on a core stock for many of our trading clients – Macquarie Group ((MQG)).

Our most recent charting comment was in mid-February where we expected the shares to head higher. The stock looked a bit weak during mid-March as the overall market showed possible signs of peaking and MQG was rejecting the $130 level. However, a break of $130 in the last several days is now a sign that MQG wants to continue trending higher. At the moment it appears to be establishing the $130 level as a bit of a baseline. Therefore, current levels are a buying opportunity for anyone without exposure to MQG.
