Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Throughout the year 2020, the COVID-19 had certain negative impact on the economy. The pharmaceutical industry has the attributes of relatively rigid demand and countercyclical, and some medical products and services were benefited from the epidemic. Therefore, in 2020/1H, the pharmaceutical industry outperformed the market significantly. As the epidemic in China has been effectively under control and the resumption of work and production has been comprehensively promoted, domestic investment hotspots have been frequently switched, and the pharmaceutical sector has undergone periodic adjustments. Besides, in 2020/2H, the advance of new volume-based purchasing policy in the field of drugs and high-value medical consumables also negatively impact the performance of healthcare sector. However, the development and potential of the China healthcare industry is still very promising, and there will be good investment opportunities in the future.

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

For now we view the recent pullback as a countertrend move that helped correct the extended and overbought conditions we noted over the past two weeks. Overhead resistance on the MSCI EM, EAFE, and ACWI ex-US indexes (all priced in local currency) is something to be aware of, however if the ACWI-US is above $70 our bullish outlook remains appropriate.  In today's report we highlight attractive charts in both defensive and cyclical Sectors. On the semi-defensive side, Sectors covered include Health Care and Services. On the cyclical side, Sectors covered include Energy, Financials, Materials, and Transportation
