<li>The US market led the global equity rally as the invasion started. The long bond yields rose, and the yield curve steepened</li>
<li>European markets did well on Thursday and Friday but failed to recover as strongly as US stocks. Asia was a laggard in general.</li>

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>SPX holding 4,250 on a closing basis if vital near term to provide energy for a push above wedge resistance at 4,380. Macro conviction to short a rally into March.</li>
<li>Bullish RSI patterns in the SPX and NDX need an inflection and would lead a price bounce.</li>
<li>Russia/Ukraine tensions the wild card but may subside near term given time needed for military/political maneuvering. Any lull in tensions would spark equity short covering and a drop in oil.</li>
