Cross-Asset & Quantitative Research

Cross Asset Strategy

Here are our main takeaways from the analysis of daily asset rotation using a 60/40 U.S. stock/bond mix as a benchmark for USD investors.•     The S&amp;P 500 is in the leading quadrant and shows no signs of weakness. The market is on track for a rally into year-end. The open question is whether value or growth stocks will lead the charge.•     Bond prices are in the lagging quadrant but showing signs of improvement. In particular, long Treasuries (TLT) is on the verge of rising into the improving quadrant. Much depends on the language from the FOMC meeting in the coming week.In the wake of a hawkish surprise from the Bank of Canada last week, the market began to price in an aggressive tightening cycle by global central banks as yield curves around the world flattened. Will the Fed also turn hawkish in reaction to market expectations and rising inflation pressures to pull the tightening schedule forward, or will it stay the course, which would be a dovish outcome?The Fed’s tone will also matter to equity market leadership. The value/growth relationship has been correlated to bond yields. A dovish Fed would be value bullish and a hawkish tone would be growth bullish.

There is nothing more bullish than a fresh high and the S&amp;P 500 has surpassed that hurdle. Tactically, the market can pause its advance at any time but downside risk should be limited. The intermediate-term outlook is bullish and traders should be prepared to buy any dip in anticipation of further gains.

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.

Upgrading Financials To Overweight; Downgrading Communications To Market Weight

Last week we noted that in order for us to turn bullish on the broad market, we need to see breakouts to YTD highs in small-caps (IWM), Financials (XLF), Energy (XOP), and equal-weighted Discretionary (RCD). We now have the breakout we needed in Energy (RYE, XOP), but the other areas are still consolidating. Therefore, we still see a mixed market and we remain neutral yet constructive overall.Stocks highlighted: XOP, WTI Crude Oil, IWD, IWM, S&amp;P 500, Equal-weighted Nasdaq 100 (QQEW), HLT, SEAS, DRI, PLAY, COP, EOG, PXD, OXY, DVN, CLR, CTRA, FANG, MRO, XEC, APA, AR, MUR, RRC, SWN, MTDR, PDCE, SM, BSM, CPE, VNOM, LPI, DMLP, CHX, WHD, NOA, TTI, NR, EXTN, NGS, FET, and CCLP

Upgrading Energy To Overweight; WTI Crude Oil and XOP With Major Long-Term Breakouts

A review of market leadership through macro cross-asset and conventional technical analysis viewpoints shows a possible bullish set-up for the reflation trade. However, the jury is still out on this bullish scenario. We need to see the cyclical and value sectors exhibit better and broader relative performance as confirmation of reflationary strength. Investors may gain better clarity on market direction once the jitters over the debt ceiling and Biden’s stimulus program are resolved.
