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.

Technical Analysis

EURO STOXX 50 Price EUR / Technical Analysis

Our intermediate-term outlook remains constructive with major support levels holding on the broad global indexes (MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EM, and EAFE). Still, we continue to see some reason for caution as various market dynamics have deteriorated, leading us to a more neutral outlook in the near-term.

Consumer Staples are a good inflation hedge, but only if they can pass on the increase in raw material costs to end consumers. In a scenario of high unemployment and collapsing demand this may not always be possible.We have taken a look at the change in short interest on Asian consumer staples names across Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and Japan to identify stocks that the market is betting on and against.There is a fair bit of variability among the HK and Taiwan stocks, short interest has been broadly lower in Korea and has been plummeting in Japan. Investors can use the data as one of the inputs in identifying stocks that could benefit from an increase in inflation in the near/medium term.
