Thanks to everyone who participated in this week’s Mystery Chart.
Most of you said that you were buyers of this big base because we like to buy smiley faces, not sell them.
Unfortunately for you all I pulled the flip-flop on this week’s chart and inverted it, so let’s see what you were actually selling. [Read more…]

In this week’s RPP Report we discussed some of the major developments recently such as the increasing bid for risk-on and reflationary assets, as well as continued rotation into more cyclical areas across all asset classes.
Our report focused mainly on Financials as well as some discussion regarding the recent outperformance from Small and Mid-Caps.
To follow up on this theme, today we’ll dig into some other economically sensitive areas like Mid-Cap Industrials and Materials.
We’ll take a look at the charts as well as the internals in these sectors in order to illustrate our current outlook.

New Mystery Chart!
For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and remove the x/y-axes and any other labels that would help identify it. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. Maybe it’s a custom index or inverted, who knows!
We do all this to put aside the biases we have associated with this specific security/the market and come to a conclusion based solely on price.
You can guess what it is if you must, but the real value comes from sharing what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?

At the beginning of each week, we publish performance tables for a variety of different asset classes and categories along with commentary on each.
Looking at the past helps put the future into context. In this post, we review the relative strength trends at play and preview some of the things we’re watching in order to profit in the weeks and months ahead.
We discussed markets remaining more or less a mixed bag over recent weeks/months. At the same time, we’ve pointed out how the weight of the evidence continues to tilt gradually in the direction of the bulls, particularly due to the action we’ve observed in key risk assets.
This week, we finally witnessed a meaningful rotation into reflationary assets as yields rallied to their highest levels since June. We also saw a noticeable strengthening from cyclicals.
We think this kind of rotation is a very healthy development for markets.
