C8 Weekly Bulletin:  Trendrating on US Bank Stocks

14 March 2023

C8 Technologies are delighted to announce that Trendrating will be adding 7 US and European equity indices to C8 Studio. They have been working with investors over the past 10 years to enhance equity portfolios, using a proprietary methodology which focuses on determining the ongoing trend in individual equities. Trendrating have just produced a timely report on US bank stocks which they have kindly allowed C8 to share. This illustrates that, whilst the Silicon Valley Bank failure had idiosyncratic issues, investors perceive a much wider problem with smaller US banks.

Summary

There was a lot of focus on the dramatic fall of Silicon Valley Bank last week.
But take a look at over 30 other US Bank stocks which have been downgraded and fallen in price over the past 6 months or so (see a selection below).

Trendrating

Trendrating (trendrating.com) gives a Rating Grade accompanied by other proprietary analytics which determine the duration, strength, and consistency of each company’s price trend.

The Rating Grade is derived from a self-adjusting algorithm that contains 8 technical indicators which were decided on after testing over 350 indicators across
15,000 stocks across 30 years of history. The model is updated at the end of each day with each security’s price, volume, and volatility. The model is designed for medium to long term investing, not trading.

Trendrating detect major shifts in money flow in either direction:
A = Confirmed Bull Trend
B = Emerging Bull Trend
C = Emerging Bear Trend
D = Confirmed Bear Trend

The top quartiles of A/B always outperform the top quartiles of C/D over our 10-year company existence.

C8 Bulletin: MI2 Joins C8 Studio

BY JON WEBB
The C8 Bulletin is back after a summer break, and we are delighted to announce that Macro Intelligence 2 Partners have added their Macro Alpha index to C8 Studio.  The Macro Alpha strategy is deeply rooted in MI2's macroeconomic insights. These directional strategies encompass a broad range of asset classes. The strategy aims to optimize risk-adjusted returns by dynamically-adjusting portfolios based on changing macroeconomic conditions. Taking three of our Global Macro contributers (including MI2), combining using our proprietary Tactical Asset Allocation, would have produced a 24% annual gain with 11% volatility and, notably, a 40% negative correlation to the S&P over the past two years.

Thoughts From The Divide: The Door is Wide Open

BY JON WEBB
Last week, we flagged Bill Dudley’s abrupt change of mind: he now advocates immediate rate cuts. One might be forgiven for suspecting Bill had spent the week lobbying his old colleagues because the July 31st FOMC statement, and J Powell’s subsequent presser gave rates markets quite the boost. Of course, there were the usual Powell caveats: “If we were to see, for example, inflation moving down quickly - or more or less in line with expectations - growth remains reasonably strong, and the labor market remains consistent with its current condition, then I would think that a rate cut could be on the table at the September meeting”. But judging from SOFR pricing, the market took Powell’s caveats as mere teasing. Powell’s presser comments suggested maybe 50bps of cuts by year-end, but Dec 25 SOFR pricing suggests at least 75bps.
