Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Expecting a Test of All-Time Highs The market remains relentlessly strong, shrugging off the latest "bearish" headline regarding Moody's U.S. debt downgrade on Friday. This is exactly what we would expect to happen in a bull market, particularly during this "lockout rally," and helps confirm our bullish outlook. To recap, we have been short-term bullish since our 4/22/25 Compass -- when the SPX was testing 5100-5120 support -- but we upgraded our intermediate-term outlook to bullish as well, as...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Lockout Rally Continues As discussed for the past two weeks, we are seeing more and more signs that lead us to believe the S&P 500 (SPX) made a major bottom at 4800-4820, which is where we initially discussed in our 4/8/25 Compass to look for a local bottom to develop. We have been short-term bullish since our 4/22/25 Compass -- when the SPX was testing 5100-5120 support -- but now we are upgrading our intermediate-term outlook to bullish as well. We titled last week's 5/6/25 Compass "Lockout R...

Int'l Insights: Bullish Stocks

Buy Gold And The Gold Miners · Gold Price. The price of gold remains on bullish short- and long-term trajectories with the uptrend that began in 2018 still intact. Short-term, gold is holding above base support near $1680 and we see the 2011 highs of $1900 as an achievable target price in the coming months. · We believe gold miners are likely to benefit from continued higher gold prices. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) depicts this opportunity, as current prices are of...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Market In “Wait-And-See” Phase We started to see waning upside momentum in the S&P 500 last week with the rising wedge breakdown and 2760 support level violation on Tuesday. Despite this, there was no downside follow through the following day as investors digested a new $484B fiscal relief package. This led to the S&P 500 finding support at 2725-2735 which leads us to where we are now -- testing recent highs. We see waning upside momentum and several aspects continue to suggest the S&P 500 ...
