Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to our weekly positioning watch, where we as always try to dig down into the latest positioning data and give you an overview of what’s moving narrative currently.Sentiment and positioning are still skewed towards hopes of a soft landing, with bets being placed on lower yields, a weaker dollar, booming equities and almost non-existent credit spreads – ironically a prime condition for an upcoming recession (which is still our base case for H1 2024).General media and story counts are also all about the soft landing vs recession, with the mentionings of “recession” back at pre-COVID levels, while soft landing counts are on the rise, although pulling a bit back from recent highs.

Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource, also known as a fossil fuel, which means that it can't be replaced naturally at the rate we consume it and is therefore a limited resource.
