Imerys Stock Slides Nearly 3% Approaching Key Support at €21.24
The French mining group is among the biggest losers in the SBF 120 mid-morning. The decline is part of a sluggish Paris market, bringing the stock close to a closely watched technical threshold.
The Stock Falls Below Its Three Moving Averages and Tests Its Support at €21.24
Imerys stock has fallen by 2.53% to €21.54 during the session, while the CAC 40 is down by 0.85% and the SBF 120 has dropped by 0.82%. The price is now below its three moving averages: the MM20 at €22.14 (a gap of -2.71%), the MM50 at €21.93, and the MM200 at €22.90, which remains the most distant lock with a gap of nearly 6%. The decline brings the stock close to the support at €21.24, just 1.4% below the current price. The RSI at 49 remains neutral, suggesting that today's movement has not yet shifted into an oversold dynamic. The loss amounts to 6.1% for the week and 25.4% for the year.

Imerys remains directly exposed to the construction cycle, with European indicators published in May still trending downwards. The construction climate stands at -17.2 in France and -13.2 in Germany, while the sector's production has declined by 2.8% over the year in France and by 1.4% in the Eurozone. French order books are at -32, and housing permits have decreased by 2% over the past twelve months. This backdrop weighs on the volumes of industrial minerals destined for construction, a historic segment of the group. As a reminder, the stock had returned to its MM200 at €22.87 at the end of May, without managing to break through it. The breaking of the support at €21.24 would constitute the next technical marker to observe.
