Vermilion Research delivers timely, actionable, and unique research inputs to professional investors. Our research strategists highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various proprietary technical indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. We believe our research methodology, which is not limited by industry sector or market capitalization, enables us to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing all actively traded stocks into coherent sectors, then into logical industry groups. We then apply our proprietary relative strength tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sectors or groups, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. Vermilion offers U.S. and global equity market research products. Vermilion’s research team, which has received numerous awards and accolades, has a combined 70 year of experience in the analysis of investment securities.

Int'l Macro Vision: Sector Synopsis

Int'l Equity Strategy We remain near-term bullish since our 4/22/25 Compass, when we discussed that 5110-5120 on the S&P 500 (SPX) was a bounce spot and a level to trade [long] against. We have been trying to play the role of short-term trader, all while keeping an eye on intermediate-term trends (discussed support/bottom in 4/8/25 Compass, expected the rally to fizzle in our 4/15/25 Compass, and then discussed a likely bounce in our 4/22/25 Compass, with Int'l Compass reports all echoing this ...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Lockout Rally in Full Swing Continuing the trend from last week's U.S. Macro Vision (4/29/25), 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. As a result, we have been short-term bullish since our 4/22/25 Compass, when we noted that the SPX was testing 5100-5120 support, a potential bounce spot and a level to trade long against. With t...

Int'l Macro Vision: Sector Synopsis

MSCI Emerging Markets at 6+ Month Resistance The MSCI Emerging Markets index (local currency) and EEM-US (USD) are trading within 6+ month consolidations following uptrend violations in early-April. Resistance is at $45.50-$46.50 and support is at $39 on EEM-US. The near-term trend remains bullish, but both are approaching multi-month resistances, making this a logical spot for a pause or pullback -- be selective. A sustained breakout above $46.50 on EEM-US would be quite bullish, and would ...

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.

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 ...
