Australian Broker Moves 18 January Carl Capolingua
The big brokers have run the ruler over a number of key stocks over the last 24 hours.

They reacted positively to a December trading update from Whitehaven Coal (WHC) despite the fact the company struggled with production due to a number of unforeseen operational issues.

Citigroup has upgraded their crude oil price estimates for 2021, increasing their expected average price from US$52/barrel to US$59/barrel. This triggered a number of price target and ratings changes for oil and gas producers, with Senex Energy (SXY) remaining the broker's top pick in the sector.

We'll investigate these moves and more in today's Australian Broker Moves.
