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.

It is time to look at copper again. Our recent long from 288 was sold at 320 and a well behaved pulled has followed. China A shares have powered higher but left H shares in the dust primarily due to narrowing breadth, a weaker materials sector and banks trading sideways. When looking at copper we see a positive chart pattern that is expected to put a floor in the decline in metal shares which in turn may help mend the breadth issues plagued the HSCEI.Copper's bull wedge noted in the daily cycle…

We made a bullish bet in copper and material sectors in May 2017 at the 2.55 area. Recently we made a short bet at 3.15 with a target at 2.92 where we exited this trade with a bias to buy lower levels in October. We also touted a pullback for weaker Australian and H share materials stocks in early September for a multi week give back. Our top short pick was Jiangxi copper at 14 which as met our 12.50 cover target with risk to 12.00. JC hit a low yesterday of 12.06.We are keen to buy back into…

Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as Sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement.
