Cross Asset Strategy

We are now at a notable juncture from a relative perspective on the NDX vs SPX. Any further underperformance of the NDX would suggest a significant short to medium term change in trend. This seems to be the risk given US 10 year yields still look likely to make it to the 2% area.

Nasdaq-100 Stock Index / Technical Analysis

As US 30 year yield has effectively met it’s 2.40% target area for this stage of the trend and bond markets have calmed down we are beginning to see bullish price action in equity markets. The Nasdaq 100 now shows a clear bullish setup for only the third time in a year that indicates a move back to the highs and maybe beyond.

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.

As the S&amp;P 500 pulls back to logical support at 3870, our weight-of-the-evidence approach continues to support our overall bullish outlook. While the positives heavily outweigh the negatives, the rising 10-year Treasury yield is threatening to become a headwind. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Materials and Transportation.
