Minutes Digest for Feb 17 2021

SentimenTrader Minutes Digest for Feb 17 2021 covering: Relative Ratio Rank Risk-On Update; Retail surprise

Relative Ratio Rank Risk-On Update

  • Published:
    2021-02-17 10:42:23
  • Author: Dean Christians

In today's note, I want to provide an update on the relative strength ratio rank risk-on composite model and take a look at a few other ratio relationships I'm monitoring. Please see my note from 1/19/21 to learn more about how I designed the model.

Relative Ratio Rank Risk-Off Model

The relative strength ratio rank risk-on model remains in a firm position with a composite count of five and all components in the 88th percentile or higher. Remember, the model will trigger a risk-off signal when the count falls to one or less, and the S&P 500 turns down. Please note, in the late January market dip, only one component fell below the 75th percentile. Risk appetite remains firm.



Weak Balance Sheet versus Strong Balance Sheet

Weak balance sheet stocks continue to outperform strong balance sheet stocks with a range rank above the 86th percentile.


CCC High Yield versus Investment Grade Bonds

CCC high yield bonds continue to outperform investment-grade bonds with a range rank in the 100th percentile. Please note, the underperformance in IG bonds of late has been due to rising rates.


Consumer Discretionary Equal-Weighted versus S&P 500

The Consumer Discretionary (equal-weighted) sector continues to outperform S&P 500 Index with a range rank above the 86th percentile. I prefer the equal-weighted sector over the cap-weighted one as it neutralizes a stock like Amazon.


Industrials Equal-Weighted versus S&P 500

The Industrials (equal-weighted) sector range rank versus the S&P 500 Index has turned down considerably. The rank currently resides in the 39th percentile.




Retail surprise

  • Author: Jason Goepfert

The big beat in retail sales is sure to generate a lot of opinions about what it means for stocks in the coming day(s). Looking at other retail sales releases since the bottom last March, there have only been 3 months where they beat expectations. The S&P 500's reactions were "meh."

The XRT retail fund saw a big positive day, and two big negative ones, after the other surprises.

Gold fell twice and worked higher once.

Same goes for 10-year Treasury yields.

Not a lot here to hang one's hat on.

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.
