AGRIUM INC (AGU) Stock Technical Analysis
NYSE:AGU - New York Stock Exchange, Inc. - CA0089161081
We assign a technical rating of 8 out of 10 to AGU. Although AGU is only a medium performer in the overall market, the technical picture looks good in both the medium and short term time frames.
The long and short term trends are both positive. This is looking good!
A new 52 week high is currently being made by AGU, which is a very good signal! Especially since the S&P500 is only trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so AGU is leading the market.
In the last month AGU has a been trading in the 104.05 - 117.28 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the high of this range.
Looking at the yearly performance, AGU did better than 72% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
Although AGU has an excellent technical rating, it does not present a decent entry opportunity at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
