Recent developments on the S&amp;P 500 Banks Index warns of further short term losses of more than 6% from current levels. The flattening of the US curve has likely played an important role here and that curve flattening may not be over quite yet.

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.

Since the release of US labour market data yields have slipped. Notable price action has unfolded for only the third time since yields peaked in late March, which indicates lower yields still.Additionally, USDJPY has faltered, which is consistent with the signs in fixed income markets.But how low is low? Could this just be a short lived and relatively meaningless move down in yields or could we see US 10Y yield below 1.46% and US 30Y yield below 2.15%?
