The materials sector witnessed a positive start, with fertilizer stocks leading the way. The three giants in this industry, DPM, DCM, and BFC, rose by 2.25%, 1.18%, and 2.11%, respectively. Additionally, chemical stocks such as DGC (+0.7%) and steel stocks like HPG (+0.4%) and NKG (+0.48%) also contributed to the sector’s gains.

From a technical perspective, DPM has been trading sideways in the long term, but on September 16, 2024, its share price surged, forming a Rising Window candlestick pattern with increased volume. This indicates a potential break above the 20-day average and reflects a positive investor sentiment.

Moreover, DPM’s price is testing the neckline of an Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern. If the recovery scenario plays out, the price target is expected to be in the range of 41,500-42,500. The MACD indicator also supports this positive outlook, as the signal line has crossed above the MACD line, suggesting a buy signal.
