Longer Lasting Damage This Time Around:The sell-off in 2H18 credit markets was widespread due to global slowdown fears and nearly culminated with Jefferies (JEF) in a Lehman-style event.

No Confidence In American Leadership: The Trump administration's steroid-infused equity market left little room for slowdown and mistakes. There was certainly no buffer in a normal slowdown, let alone a buffer for a panic slowdown with the corona virus.

Global Financial System Now On Edge:These market moves have wide implications for all financial institutions in Asia and Europe - especially those which are already capital challenged (China and Germany) - and reminiscent of issues we worried about during the global financial crisis.</li>

The London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), also called 'The World's Most Important Number', acts as a benchmark for over US$240 trillion of assets and with LIBOR scheduled to be replaced by the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) by end 2021, the stakes have rarely been higher to ensure a smooth transition.In this Insight, we take a look at the history of LIBOR, what are LIBOR and SOFR and how they differ, why is the transition needed, the progress made in the transition and who will be affected by the transition.

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

We continue to see coronavirus concerns as helping correct the excess bullish sentiment across global equity markets in the short-term. Additionally, considering the dearth of breakdowns, we continue to believe this is a bull market until proven otherwise and a “buy the dip” strategy remains warranted. We recap importat technical levels across markets and highlight opportunities within the Services, Technology, Financial Services, and Staples Sectors.
