Notable Observations and Trends:

  • Cumulative returns across a broad spectrum of composites remain weak evidenced by only Utilities and Treasuries showing gains over the last 252 days. 
  • Mid January appears to be a major turning point/trend change for the Precious Metals Miners composite. Looking at the last 126 days Best/Worst plot shows a sharp V bounce which has continued since. 
  • Investors positioning still looks defensive over the longer frames of 252, 126, 63 days as evidenced by the outperformance of the Precious Metals complex, Utilities, and Treasuries. 
  • The market overall still looks binary (risk-on/risk-off) as evidenced by the increase in inverse correlations across timeframes between risk assets (sectors, global, emerging equity) and defensive assets (precious metals, bonds, utilities, telecom) .
