Index Update 11.07.2015

MOMENTUM

We run our proprietary momentum scoring algorithm on indices just like we do on stocks. You can use the momentum scores of sub-indices to get a sense for which sectors have the wind on their backs and those that are facing headwinds.

Traders can pick their longs in sectors with high short-term momentum and their shorts in sectors with low momentum. Investors can use the longer lookback scores to position themselves using our re-factored index Themes.

You can see how the momentum algorithm has performed on individual stocks here.

Here are the best and the worst sub-indices:

Finance and FMCG showed an uptick in momentum. However, the word of the week is “listless.” Expect most trend followers to lose discipline right about now…

50-day performance turns green for most indices and the MNCs have more or less covered their draw-downs. Looks like financials and FMCG have found their mojo. Will the markets keep their trend?

A perk up in momentum metrics: RS-Spread has reverted to mean; bank and financials are showing some green shoots.

Looks like Banks, FMCG and Pharma are perking up. MNCs and Autos are recovering from their drawdowns as well…

Given the state of the relative strength spread, good luck with trend following strategies! But it looks like there are some sectors where a positive trend is reasserting itself. Are we seeing green shoots in pharma, media and banks?
