While the Kospi Index is only marginally below the trend highs, the developments on JPYKRW warn of something more serious ahead. A breach of 10.43 on JPYKRW and 3,205 on the Kospi Index, if and when both seen, would be important developments.

Technical Analysis

We called for covering short exposure and putting on risk in our bull group near SPX 3,800 support (hit 3,804.75) and did see a nice bull reversal in NY to short up the bull case off of SPX wedge support. The risk buckle came within the Feb 21 window. We now need to clear hurdle resistance levels to avert a downside re test.This insight focuses on upside resistances to clear to open the way to a new highs and supports to hold to validate the SPX bull reversal off of primary wedge support. Our bull group is where we added risk and outline where we want to add risk in Asia.

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.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index / Technical Analysis

Price and RS uptrends for the MSCI EM index continues to underpin our bullish outlook for emerging market equities -- remain overweight. We continue to attribute much of EM’s outperformance to the intact downtrend in the US dollar (DXY). As long as weakness in the DXY persists we believe EM’s outperformance is likely to continue.
