Rolls-Royce shares test key support despite Boeing partnership
Rolls-Royce shares are testing the important GBX 1,355 support level despite announcing a new partnership with Boeing and Lufthansa. However, weak trading volume suggests that the recent pullback may be losing momentum, leaving room for a potential recovery.
Rolls-Royce has announced a partnership with Boeing and Lufthansa to test technologies aimed at reducing fuel consumption and aircraft noise. The trials will be conducted using a Boeing 787-9 powered by Trent 1000 engines. The project will focus on a newly designed shorter engine intake, which is expected to reduce both weight and aerodynamic drag. The testing program is scheduled to begin in July and run through mid-August.
So far, however, the announcement has had little positive impact on Rolls-Royce shares.

Rolls-Royce approaches critical GBX 1,355 support
Rolls-Royce shares are trading near the important GBX 1,355 support level. As noted previously, this area became the next downside target after the stock broke below GBX 1,380.
A decisive break below GBX 1,355 could strengthen selling pressure and open the way toward the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) near GBX 1,330.
To restore bullish momentum, buyers need to reclaim GBX 1,380. If that happens, the next upside target will be the psychological GBX 1,400 level.
At the same time, the pullback from the record high reached on July 6 has been accompanied by declining trading volume. This suggests limited selling activity and does not yet confirm the formation of a sustained downtrend.
Rolls-Royce earnings emerge as next key catalyst
As long as Rolls-Royce shares remain below GBX 1,380, the short-term technical outlook remains moderately bearish. However, declining trading volume indicates that selling pressure is easing, leaving the door open for a recovery.
The company's July 30 earnings report is expected to be the next major fundamental catalyst. Its results will likely determine the stock's medium-term direction.
