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 saw that trade unwind a bit as most risk-assets were lower on the week. We're going to need to see a lot more data come in to support a sustained rotation into these more cyclical areas as well as reverse some of these long-term relative trends.

So, after a big week of progress, we're right back to an increasingly bifurcated market environment.

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.

When investors bid up more economically sensitive assets it speaks to...

Welcome to the 2 to 100 club.

Something we’ve been working on internally this year is using various bottoms-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. One way we’re doing this is by identifying stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small, to mid, to large, and ultimately to mega-cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B) they come on our radar.

But the scan doesn’t just end there. We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, and Salesforce, to a myriad of others… all would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.

When you look at the stocks in our table you will notice we are only focused on technology and growth industry groups such as Software,...

In recent RPP Reports, we discussed how markets had become more of a mixed bag, particularly equities as they try to recover from September's selloff.

Although, with each passing week we're still seeing more bullish data points than bearish ones, even if only at the margin.

We're still waiting for many of the key assets that we mentioned were trading right at or near critical levels in recent weeks to choose a decisive direction.

We have plenty to cover, so let's kick things off with the US Index table.

As you can see, it was a...

In recent week's RPP Reports, we've discussed how Equity Markets had become more of a mixed bag with many key assets trading right at or near critical levels.

This week, we'll follow up on some of these areas we've been pointing out in recent reports and see how they look now.

The bottom line is that while there have definitely been more bullish than bearish developments since last week, prices continue to flirt with the risk levels we've previously outlined.

We still believe the weight of the evidence is in favor of the bulls, but with so many assets at inflection points, we're paying close attention to every new day's data as it...

Then as any good technician, we are filtering the list by those names that are closest to 52-week highs. This allows the cream of...

Like we discussed last week, Equity Markets are becoming more of a mixed bag. This week, we'll expand on this theme.

Prices continue to flirt with the risk levels we've outlined for various assets in recent weeks. We still believe the weight of the evidence is in favor of the bulls, but with so many assets at inflection points, we're paying close attention to every new day's data as it comes in.

Starting at the US Index table, we can see the Nasdaq 100 $QQQ and Transports $IYT had a quieter week, while laggards such as the SMIDs caught a healthy bid, all up about 4.5%.

The price action in Copper is incredibly important for Indian stocks and Emerging Markets in general, which is why it's one of the primary intermarket signals we watch.

After a massive run off the March lows, we saw prices of Copper meet their upside target in late August and begin to consolidate.

Now we're seeing that consolidation resolve lower, so what's next?
