WSTS has released its June semiconductor revenue figures, revealing a month-month revenue decline of 0.3% from May.While this indicates that the industry's sensitivity to the COVID-19 pandemic is mild, close inspection reveals that May revenues have been re-stated, and this has muted the decline.  This Smartkarma Insight explores June revenues and these restatements.

WSTS Reports June Semis: Lessens M/M Decline by Restating May

The SIA released the monthly WSTS semiconductor shipments statistics for May, and with it a statement that the chip market seemed resistant to COVID-19.  On the whole revenues have fallen back to trend thanks to the recent market collapse, but China's response to that country's outbreak shows what may be in store for other regions.

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

Global indexes remain overwhelmingly positive which is supported by the fact that there is a dearth of breakdowns. Overall our big picture view remains unchanged; overhead longer-term 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 intermediate-term outlook remains bullish and we suggest buying any dips. In today's report we highlight attractive charts within defensives (Consumer Staples &amp; Utilities), cyclicals (Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Financial, &amp; Materials), and in-between Sectors (Communications, Services, &amp; Health Care)
