Technical and Quantitative Research

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.

Korea Stock Exchange Kospi Index / Technical Analysis

<ul>
<li>The fresh break today to new trend lows on the Kospi Index forces one to identify potential supports &amp; targets </li>
<li>The chart warns of at least a test of the January 2018 high at 2,607 which is almost 6.5% below current levels</li>
<li>The more concerning target is the 200 week moving average at 2,448 – some 12% lower</li>

<ul>
<li>The bounce on the Kospi Index from just above 2,900 has meant that we are approaching decent levels that need to be watched carefully: </li>
<li>Despite the firmer USD in some corners , the USD has not strengthened in any meaningful way in Asia. Within thatm USDKRW looks vulnerable</li>
<li>It is thus an evolving bias that the Kospi Index in USD terms could see a 10% rally from current levels.</li>
