Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Monitoring Rising Treasury Yields & U.S. Dollar (DXY) The Fed wanting "greater confidence" that inflation is sustainably moving toward its 2% target signals a patient approach with respect to rate cuts, meaning a more restrictive policy than the market expected. This is disproportionately hitting small- and mid-caps which are more sensitive to higher interest rates. This suggests we could see further consolidation for small- and mid-caps, while large-cap indexes (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, DJI) remai...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Dow Testing 1-Year Resistance at 34,280 The S&P 500 has marginally surpassed the 4300-4325 area which we have anticipated would cap upside for 2023. As we noted in our 6/6/23 Compass, we are vigilant at these levels given our expectation for inflation to remain elevated, but we simply cannot be bearish if the S&P 500 is above 4165-4200. 4300 is now another short-term support level to watch. Breadth has continued to improve within the small-cap Russell 2000 (IWM), and the IWM is approaching our ...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

ear Market Until Proven Otherwise In our Sept. 27 Compass, and with the S&P 500 down 11.5% during the prior two weeks, we discussed our belief that the market indexes could see a bounce or pause in selling. The S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (IWM) have gone virtually nowhere since (i.e., a pause), and we still cannot rule out a bear market rally as long as the 200-week MA (3590-3600) holds on the S&P 500, and as long as $162-163 holds on the Russell 2000 (IWM). To confirm a bear market rally, we need...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

SPX Reverses 4-Month Downtrend as 10-Yr Treasury Yield Breaks Key Support; Upgrading Discretionary In last week's Compass (July 26) we discussed some positive signals that we believe suggested the lows for this bear market may have already been established, or that downside is limited from here. We continue to see more evidence that supports this claim; as a result, we are upgrading our outlook to neutral. Positive Signals: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, 10-Yr Treasury Yield, Small-Cap Growth.
