Shareholders have been well rewarded for sticking with Glencore, enjoying healthy dividends and strong share price gains. Independent analyst Alistair Strang gives his view on what's in store now.
Swiss company Glencore (LSE:GLEN) an abbreviation of ‘Global Energy Commodity Resources’ is a pretty core component of the FTSE 100. The company is seriously big, the UK hosting their oil & gas head offices and they’re rated as the world's largest commodity traders.

However, given the plethora of fields in which Glencore is active, it’s actually a little surprising how relatively placid the share price has been over the last 10 years. With the company achieving a new all-time high in January this year - the share price reaching 584p - we’re curious whether some further good times may be on the horizon, especially as the share price has now broken through its immediate downtrend and appears to be on the edge of challenging its prior highs.
Trading around 498p currently, the immediate situation suggests above 501p should trigger an attempt at 525p next with secondary, if exceeded, at 579p. We suspect this shall prove quite important, once again taking the share price into “all-time high” territory where we’re able to calculate the potential of a visit to 693p as a logical Big Picture ambition on this cycle.

If things intend to go horribly wrong, the share needs below 422p to trigger panic, entering a reversal cycle which should hopefully complete at 297p.
Early warning of trouble shall be the price closing below 480p, but for now, we’re inclined toward optimism for Glencore’s future.
