Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

U.S. Dollar (DXY), 10-Yr Treasury Yield Rolling Over

Large-caps (SPY, QQQ, DIA) remain bullish, mid-caps (IJH) are starting to outperform, and small-caps (IWM, IJR) are finally breaking out from major 2-year bases. Market generated information continues to tell us that a resurgence on the inflation front is unlikely; the 10-year Treasury yield has not been able to break above major 4.35% resistance and appears to be rolling over, while mid-caps are starting to outperform (and potentially small-caps as well). For this and many other reasons highlighted below, our bullish outlook that we have had since early November 2023 remains intact.

Bullish Outlook Intact. Broad market indexes are all bullish, ranging from large-caps to micro-caps (SPY, QQQ, IWM, IJH, RSP, VXF, IWC). More Sectors are being added to the list of those that are breaking above major resistances, the latest being Consumer Discretionary (XLY) and Materials (XLB) breaking above 1-1.5+ year resistances. High yield spreads are at 2-year narrows. Defensive Sectors including Staples (XLP) and Utilities (XLU) are hitting 20+ year RS lows. The U.S. dollar (DXY) is below $106 and has been unable to break above $104.70. The 10-year Treasury yield is below 4.35%. Gold (GLD) appears to be breaking out from a 3.5-year base. This all continues to support our bullish outlook; we will need to see SPY and QQQ close below their 20-day MAs for 2-3 days in order to get more cautious.... see charts below and page 2.

EM and Int'l Markets. MSCI EAFE (EFA) remains bullish -- buy/stay long. MSCI EM (EEM) continues to build a massive 2-year base... see page 10.
