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.

<li>We believe a 1-4-month pullback/consolidation is ongoing, and we would look for an important low to be made near the U.S. election.</li>
<li>Supports to watch continue to be $110 on $ACWI and $41-42 on MSCI EM $EEM, and whether these levels hold or not will determine the severity of the pullback.</li>
<li>Primary reasons for this bearish expectation include major bullish RS inflections for defensive Sectors, and bearish price action in the U.S. (SPX), Japan (TOPIX/Nikkei 225), and Europe (EURO STOXX 50)</li>

<p>During our visit to New Delhi in December 2016, we had to defend ourselves from demonetization and the city’s choking air pollution. Even as India staggers to find a solution to the latter, four of its cities are among the world's top ten worst-ranked cities for air pollution. We wondered if the environment in the South would meet a similar fate and decided to look at steps taken in the North to curtail the calamity. While we have already spoken in detail about the status of piped natural gas in India in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/falling-natural-gas-production-and-poor-import-infra-make-png-a-distant-dream-for-most-indians" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:9432">Falling Natural Gas Production and Poor Import Infra Make PNG a Distant Dream for Most Indians</a>, we will look at the CNG segment in this report and how it can make a difference. </p>

New CGD Networks Give South India the Potential to Lead CNG Growth in Second Half of the Decade

<p>In July 2015, the Indian government set a target of 10 million PNG (piped natural gas) connections to be made within two years. But as of September 2016, the government was 7 million short of its goal with the odds of achieving it in less than a year seeming very low. Increasing PNG and CNG (compressed natural gas) connections are part of the government’s wider plan to more than double the share of natural gas in India’s energy mix to 20% by 2025. To achieve this goal, the government needs to ramp up transmission infrastructure and increase capacity of import infrastructure to cater to the expected surge in natural gas imports, apart from introducing key policies with regards to pricing, taxation and regulation. Based on past evidence and the information provided within this report, we think the government will fall short of its energy mix targets, just like it did in the PNG segment.</p>
