S&P Global reports that global exploration budgets for key battery metals dropped sharply in 2025, falling 43% to $958 million.
The downturn is tied to broad market oversupply. New analysis from S&P Global Market Intelligence shows the impact has varied based on policy, project maturity, and corporate factors.
SPGI is trading at $424.82, positioned above the MA-20 ($416.53) and just below the MA-50 ($425.03), while remaining well beneath the MA-200 ($473.37). This setup indicates short-term bullish momentum, but medium- and long-term trends remain under pressure from higher moving averages. The Ichimoku Kijun at $417.04 sits below the current price, making it immediate support. Near-term support levels sit at the Ichimoku Kijun ($417.04) and MA-20 ($416.53), while near-term resistance is clustered just overhead at the MA-50 ($425.03). Key resistance is marked by the MA-100 ($438.90), with key support from the clustered MA-50/Ichimoku area ($417.04–$416.53).
Momentum signals are mixed. MACD on D1 gives a strong sell signal, while ADX on D1 stays neutral, indicating trend weakness. Oscillators present a divergent picture: RSI (52.81) and CCI (64.55) suggest moderate buying, and Stoch RSI (75.33) flashes a buy but is approaching overbought territory. BBP on D1 is deeply positive (6.71) and flagged as overbought, highlighting strong short-term buyer dominance. Awesome Oscillator remains neutral, offering no confirmation for the prevailing trend. SPGI has edged up $0.38 (0.09%) since last week’s close at $424.44. The price now sits at the very top of the weekly range, with weekly volatility standing at 4.89%. The stock has consolidated near recent highs, following a strong move. In today's session, SPGI rallied 1.85%, reflecting renewed buying pressure within the established volatility band.
For the next week, SPGI is likely to fluctuate in a range of $412 to $428, anchored by recent volatility and the current price position. This range is supported by both the weekly forecast and 52-week context, as the price remains closer to the yearly low ($381.61) and far below the 52-week high ($579.05). The probability of a further increase is very low (less than 20%), while a downside move is more likely. Baseline scenario: SPGI stays in a tight sideways corridor between $412 and $428 as near-term support and resistance converge. Bullish case: a breakout above $428 could trigger a test of $438, but upside momentum would face resistance from overhead MAs. Bearish case: a drop below $416 would expose the $407–$412 zone, with further pressure possible given prevailing W1 bearish signals via MA, MACD, and RSI.
Previously it was reported that S&P Global was facing persistent downside pressure and limited prospects for a significant price recovery. In the current context, investors should remain alert for shifts in momentum, with the prevailing scenario still favoring cautious positioning as the outlook remains uncertain.
