DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS (Global Conflict Summary EDITION)Per the council of foreign relations, these are the following current global conflicts. I've included a brief description of each conflict. It's important to understand these if you're planning or already are investing in defense stocks. Per TA, I've labeled bearish price targets, bullish price targets, relevant trends. It looks overvalued from analysis on ITA, but there is upside. I'd say that short term probably favors bulls (talking maybe weeks if not less), mid term probably favors the bears (multiple months), long term will likely favor bulls, but it will depend on the movement we see over FEB and March. Global Conflict Summary Americas Criminal Violence in Mexico The criminal violence in Mexico involves various organizations such as Sinaloa, Los Zetas, Tijuana/AFO, Juárez/CFO, Beltrán Leyva, Gulf, La Familia Michoacana, the Knights Templar, and Cartel Jalisco Nuevo Generación (CJNG). The violence is attributed to the increase in crime rates and the limited interventions by the state and municipal police. Instability in Haiti The instability in Haiti involves the government, opposition parties, and the international community. The crisis revolves around the dispute over the presidential term and the government’s inability to control skyrocketing prices of commodities. Instability in Venezuela Venezuela is facing an unprecedented social and humanitarian collapse due to poor economic policies, political conflict, and the international community’s unsuccessful attempts to bring about positive change. The conflict involves the government under President Nicolás Maduro and opposition groups.

Extremism and intolerance of diversity and dissent have grown, threatening the country’s prospects for social cohesion and stability.

Conflict Between India and Pakistan Since 1947, India and Pakistan have been involved in a number of wars, conflicts, and military standoffs, with the Kashmir conflict serving as the catalyst for every war between the two states. The conflict primarily involves India and Pakistan, with the disputed region of Kashmir being a major point of contention.

ITA Aero-Defence etf bottommed if 93 holds & it BO channel @103ITA has been in a downchannel even before invasion. It only overshot during invasion to make an ATH @113.37. Since then, it made an ABC corrective wave & came back down to retest channel base near the 93 zone. BULLISH CASE: it bounced after retesting channel base @93 but was stalled by ma50.. 93 is a VOLUME PROFILE zone & is the Fib 0.382 retracement level. It is also the vwap from 2009 low. If 93 holds, ITA will break above ma50 & target the 103 yellow resistance zone & try to BO of the downchannel started in May2021. 103 is the 0.382 Fib level. BEARISH CASE WARNING: if ITA fails 93 zone & break down from the channel, there is very low volume below until 85, with only a small support at 90. Measuring the H&S move from ATH will send ITA to as low as the 80 zone. Not trading advice

ITA - DAILY CHARTHi, today we are going to talk about ITA ETF and its current landscape. This ETF holds exposure to U.S companies that manufacture commercial and military aircraft and other defense equipment, these companies hold great dependency on rare earth materials, so its costs hold a key significance on its margins, which might get a lift due to the most recent news coming from the key producer of rare-earths. China that controls about 90% of the market, and 70% of the global production of rare earths, said this month that it's raising its annual mining quota to 132,000 tons, representing a 10% rise in comparison with last year. This decision's poised to have a significant impact on the markets due to the relevance of rare-earth is one of the most relevant elements to the modern industry, essential to the production of a wide variety of products. To have an idea, let's have a quick look at their uses on the industry: Neodymium - Used to make powerful magnets that can be use on the many products from computer hard drives to motors for electric cars Lanthanum - Used to make audiovisual components like camera lenses and other elements that work with light on the industry like cinema projection and illumination. Gadolinium - Used on the fabrication of Television screens in the medical industry by been utilized in MRI and X-ray scanning systems. Cerium - Used in the manufacture for cigarette lighters, as the Lanthanum it's used on the cinema industry, this element it’s also used by the crude refinery in its refining process. Praseodymium - Essential to producing aircraft engines and along with magnesium, can create high-strength metals named Mischmetal. Yttrium - Used in white LED lights, lasers that can cut through metals, also it's used in making of microwave filters for radars, and it's used to a catalyst in ethene polymerization. Terbium - Used in mercury lamps and to improve the safety of medical x-rays and used in laser devices. Europium - Used in printing euro banknotes, low-energy light bulbs to give natural light, also it's excellent at absorbing a neutron, valuable to control rods for nuclear reactors. With this scenario in mind, we can weight that companies and other types of assets, that have a high level of dependence on this material could have relief on their profit margins during this year that China keeps this level of production. This relief might mitigate eventual headwinds that these assets may face and boost possible bullish sentiments. Thank you for reading and leave your comments if you like.

ITA - DAILY CHARTHi, today we are going to talk about the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and its current landscape. With more than 400 planes grounded, 737 Max crisis is still backlashing Boeing Co., and now the Boeing problem could become the industry "problem" as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), may fundamentally change the certification process of aircraft, by prioritizing the human factor in the proceeding. The FAA wants to appraise how quickly airline pilots can react to emergency situations and possibly evaluating how the design o planes make it easier or harder for the pilot's reaction. The proposals need to be the debated of Congress, that has been criticizing the FAA administrator Stephen Dickson over its close relationship with the industry, Dickson it's a former employee of Delta Air Lines. The effects of the 737 problems, combined with the slowing down economy entails strong headwinds for the whole industry, plus this new regulatory change, companies could see a shrinking of its orders, and more costs to have products in-line with the new possible FAA framework. The positive highlight of the day for the sector goes to the orders coming from several airlines, like Emirates that ordered 50 Airbus A350 jets in a deal worthing $16 billion; Air Arabia ordered 120 Airbus A320s in a $14 billion deal, and Etihad will take 20 Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliners.
