Past performance is no guarantee of future results HOWEVER... The last 3 moves from Vodafone #VOD 🇬🇧 have been 15%, recent bounce off the 50MA support and today it's clearing previous highs in March... potentially still 9% in this move!
#StockMarket #UKStockMarket #UKStocks #FinSky

Interesting I said, and interesting it was... $VOD crossed over 74p and filled the gap from previous run down whilst closing just above the highs back in March. Expecting some resistance at 76p #UKStocks #Equities #UKStockMarket #StockMarket #StocksToBuy #VOD

Vodafone $VOD 🇬🇧 looks interesting for the week ahead. Tested the 50MA, possible second chance after it's breakout run... looking for it to take out 74p highs from back in may.

#UKStockMarket #StocksToWatch #equities #UKStocks #StockMarket #VOD

Keeping an eye on M&S #MKS 🇬🇧 Not great recently, but last week crossed up 150MA ✅ and flirting with 50MA. Broke a High Close trend line ✅ but... no volume and 10d average ⬇️ Watching for Close above 381p next week particularly with volume ⬆️ #StocksToWatch #UKStockMarket

Second chance for Qinetiq $QQ? 🇬🇧 Looking like a positive end to the week finding its support around 504p after it's earnings breakout and pullback. Defence stocks likely benefiting from situation with Israel and Iran.
#UKStockMarket #UKStocks #QQ #BreakoutStock #secondchance #FinSky

Breakout momentum still holding strong for Filtronic 🇬🇧 $FTC up 51% since crossing over the 50MA and the Volume is still there.

Energy, homebuilders boost UK’s FTSE 100 ahead of budget update (Reuters) - The UK’s FTSE 100 rose on Tuesday, with homebuilder and energy stocks leading the charge, while investors awaited a slew of economic data and a budget update due later in the week. The blue-chip FTSE 100 was up 0.6%, while the midcap FTSE 250 index also rose 0.6% at 1037 GMT. An index of UK housebuilders rose 1.9% after Britain’s government pledged 2 billion pounds ($2.58 billion) to build up to 18,000 social and affordable homes in England. Homebuilders Barratt Redrow (LON:RDW), Persimmon (LON:PSN) and Taylor Wimpey (LON:TW) gained between 1% and 1.3%. Bellway (LON:BWY) gained 2.4% after the company reported a 12% rise in half-year profit as the lower mortgage rates and improved consumer confidence drove sales. Kingfisher (LON:KGF) fell 12.3%, to the bottom of the blue-chip index after the home improvement retailer reported a 7% fall in annual profit. Energy stocks jumped 1.7% as oil prices rose for a fifth day on expectations that global supply may tighten after the U.S. announced tariffs on countries that buy Venezuelan crude. Shell was among the top gainers on the FTSE 100 after the world’s biggest liquefied natural gas trader increased its shareholder distribution policy and lowered its spending outlook. Investors will be closely watching UK inflation and the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, with both sets of numbers due later in the week. British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves will publish a forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility on Wednesday, which is expected to roughly halve Britain’s projected growth in 2025 from 2% to about 1%, according to the Financial Times. Markets remain focused on potential reciprocal tariffs promised by U.S. President Donald Trump and their impact on the global economy. Among other stocks, Segro (LON:SGRO) gained 3.4% after the warehouse developer announced a joint venture with Pure Data Centres Group to develop a data centre worth about 1 billion pounds. ($1 = 0.77 pounds)
