Absolute and relative trends continue to favor resource-based stocks

Dean Christians
2022-04-18
An assessment of global and domestic ETF trends suggests we should maintain a favorable outlook on natural resource-based stocks. At the same time, we need to be mindful that all is not well with the manufacturing-heavy Asia-Pacific region.

Key points:

  • Natural resource-based countries show positive absolute and relative trends
  • At the same time, the manufacturing-based Asia-Pacific region looks unfavorable
  • A basket of commodities maintains a bullish intermediate-term trend backdrop
  • Domestic industry trends confirm the bullish global market message for natural resource stocks

Natural resource-based countries dominate manufacturing-based countries

Suppose I sort the Country table by the relative trend score change column. In that case, it shows a significant number of global ETFs with a high natural resource stock weighting with positive relative trend scores versus the S&P 500. South American and Middle Eastern countries dominate the bullish trend rankings. In contrast, the global ETFs with negative relative trend scores show a bias toward countries with a significant manufacturing/export presence, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. China, Japan, and South Korea are a few noteworthy ones that look unfavorable.    


A natural resource-heavy region looks favorable

For the first time in more than a year, Latin American countries with a positive relative trend score versus the S&P 500 increased to 100%. When 80% or more of the ETFs show a positive relative trend score, annualized returns look better.


A manufacturing-heavy region looks unfavorable 

When I assess the relative trend scores for Asia-Pacific countries, it shows an unfavorable level of ETFs in the manufacturing-heavy region with a positive relative trend score.

YTD performance shows the same trend - resources over manufacturing   

What do commodities suggest about the outlook for natural resource-based countries 

When I assess intermediate-term trends for a basket of commodities, it shows 84% of components trading above their 50-day average, suggesting strong annualized returns for a commodity index. So, with commodities in a favorable position, we could expect natural resources-based country ETFs to continue to outperform.

Domestic industries confirm the global trends for natural-resource based stocks

What the research tells us...

Country ETFs exhibiting the strongest absolute and relative trends maintain heavier weightings toward natural resource-based stocks. While natural resource countries look favorable, we can't say the same for the manufacturing-heavy Asia-Pacific region. When I review trends for commodities or domestic industries, the message is the same. Stay the course with natural resource stocks.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
