    Volume 2 Highlights

    Given our expectations for a continued range-bound trading

    environment for the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX), weanticipate that the S&P/TSX will peak soon, and head lower in the

    following weeks.

    From a seasonal perspective, we note that August is the third-worst performing month for the S&P/TSX, with an average monthly

    loss of 0.36% since 1990. Additionally, there is a below-average

    probability (52%) of a positive monthly return in August.

    The S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index is overbought with an RSreading above 70. We therefore expect some near-term profit

    taking within the sector, possibly seeing the S&P/TSX Capped

    Financials Index declining into the 200 to 202 range, which

    represents the intersection of the uptrend line and previous

    resistance. While we expect some short-term weakness in the

    sector, we remain long-term bullish on Canadian financials, given

    its continued strong relative strength.

    The intermediate and long-term technical trends for the S&P 500

    Index (S&P 500) remain positive, especially in light of the new all-

    time highs, and as such, we remain long-term bullish. In the short

    term, we believe that the S&P 500 could experience some backing

    and filling as the S&P 500 registered an overbought condition with

    an RSI reading near 70. We are looking for the S&P 500 to pul

    back to its rising 50-day MA, which currently intersects at 1,643.

    Gold has bounced back sharply, rising nearly 12% since the Julylows. The rally in gold can be attributed to more dovish comments

    by the Fed over its asset purchases, which has led to weakness inthe U.S. dollar, and in turn provided a boost to the price of gold

    Sticking with our technical discipline, we see the recent bounce in

    the gold price as short term, with the technicals remaining bearish

    in our view. We see US$1,336/oz. as a key technical level, and

    only a break and two day hold above this level would alter our

    current negative view.

    In this weeks report we highlight Canadian Western Bank (CWBT) as a trim/sell, and PNC Financial Services (PNC-N) as an

    attractive buy idea.

    Technical Commentary

    S&P/TSX Composite Index

    In The Technical Take dated July 15, 2013, we predicted that the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) would

    likely find resistance at the 50- and 200-day moving averages (MA), which both came in around the 12,450 level.

    The S&P/TSX had been adhering quite well to its 50-day MA, providing support in February and March, and then

    resistance in June. We were incorrect on this call as the S&P/TSX easily broke through this level and has quickly

    moved up to the top-end of its 2013 trading range around the 12,800 to 12,900 range.

    With the 7.5% gain since the June lows, the S&P/TSX has become technically overbought in the short term, as it

    recently registered a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 70.

    Given our expectation for a continued range-bound trading environment for the S&P/TSX, we anticipate that theS&P/TSX will peak soon, and head lower in the following weeks. Additionally, we see the potential for some near-

    term profit taking in Canadian financials, which will likely drive the expected pullback in the S&P/TSX, given the

    sectors 35% weight in the index.

    From a seasonal perspective, we note that August is the third-worst performing month for the S&P/TSX, with an

    average monthly loss of 0.36% since 1990. Additionally, there is a below-average probability (52%) of a positive

    monthly return in August. Overall, we continue to expect the S&P/TSX to remain range-bound through the summer and therefore recommend

    a more nimble trading approach, buying at support (11,800-11,900) and trimming positions at resistance (12,900).

    Ranking of Weekly Momentum

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at July 24, 2013

    Weekly Momentum:

    The consumer staples sector jumped up to top-spot in our sector rankings, with Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. (SC-T)

    driving the index higher, following news of a merger with Loblaw Companies Limited (L-T).

    Materials have recently bounced back following weeks of heavy underperformance, with the sector near the top of

    our sector ranking for two consecutive weeks.

    Financials were up strongly last week, coming in third in our sector rankings. Lifecos continue to trade well on the

    back of higher trending interest rates.

    The information technology sector remains near the bottom of our sector rankings, as Blackberry Limited (BB-T

    shares remain under pressure.

    Market Condition:

    The consumer staples, consumer discretionary and financials sectors are currently overbought with RSI readings

    above 70. The information technology sector is oversold with RSI reading of 27.88.

    Other:

    The utilities, telecommunications and materials sectors remain below their respective 200-day MAs, which is one

    reason that we recommend an underweight in these sectors.

    S&P/TSX Capped Financial Services Index

    Canadian financials remain on a roll with the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index recently breaking to new highs.

    The sector came under pressure in June as the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index declined down to its rising 200-

    day MA. The index held the important long-term MA and went on to make new price highs. The sector is now overbought with an RSI reading above 70. We therefore expect some near-term profit taking

    within the sector, possibly seeing the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index declining into the 200 to 202 range, which

    represents the intersection of the uptrend line and previous resistance.

    While we expect some short-term weakness in the sector, we remain long-term bullish on Canadian financials

    given its continued strong relative strength (lower panel).

    S&P 500 Index

    The S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) has shaken-off its June blues and quickly recovered its losses, reaching all-timehighs in July. We believe that contributing to these gains is the seemingly altered position by the U.S. FederaReserve (Fed) that tapering of its asset purchases could be pushed out later than the anticipated September Fedmeeting. Regardless of the why behind the continued market strength, the intermediate and long-term technicatrends for the S&P 500 remain positive, especially in light of the new all-time highs, and as such, we remain long-

    term bullish. In the short term, we believe that the S&P 500 could experience some backing and filling as the S&P 500 registered

    an overbought condition with an RSI reading near 70. We are looking for the S&P 500 to pull back to its rising 50-day MA, which currently intersects at 1,643.

    Market internals remain strong thus confirming the new price highs in the S&P 500. In particular, cyclical sectorssuch as consumer discretionary and financials continue to outperform, while the small-cap Russell 2000 Index alsohas made new all-time highs, and is outperforming their large-cap peers (lower panel).

    We continue to believe that the U.S. equity markets will come under pressure when tapering by the Fed actuallyoccurs or is clearly signalled to the market, but since this is difficult to predict, we remain focused on the technicalswhich are undeniably bullish in our view.

    Overall, we see the potential for some short-term profit taking, but remain bullish as the S&P 500 remains in a long-term uptrend, with confirmation from strong market internals.

    Ranking of Weekly Momentum

    Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at July 24, 2013

    Weekly Momentum:

    The industrials and energy sectors outperformed the broader market last week, followed by the interest-sensitive

    utilities. Conversely, the information technology and telecommunications sectors underperformed the market.

    Utilities have been volatile in recent weeks, alternating between the worst and best performing sectors within our

    momentum rankings.

    Financials continue to trade well, coming in near the top of our sector rankings for over a month.

    The telecommunications sector continues to trade near the bottom of our sector rankings model.

    Market Condition:

    All sectors have a neutral market condition, with RSIs in the 30 to 70 range.

    Other: The telecommunications sector is the only sector trading below its 50-day MA. All sectors remain above their respective 200-day MAs, a clear sign of strength in the U.S. markets.

    Short-Term Market Indicator: CBOE Equity Put/Call Ratio

    One of our preferred market indicators is the

    CBOE Equity Only Put/Call Ratio. This indicator

    captures the number of puts being purchasedrelative to calls.

    When few puts are being purchased (less than

    0.55 per 1 call contract), this points to overly

    bullish investor sentiment, which from a

    contrarian perspective, often precedes a short-

    term pullback in the markets. Conversely, heavy

    put buying (above 0.8 puts to 1 call) captures an

    overly bearish sentiment among investors, which

    often precedes a short-term bottom in the stock

    market.

    On a weekly basis, this indicator recently fell to

    0.54, which captures a lack of put buying, andfrom a contrarian perspective points to a

    potential pull back for U.S. equities.

    Long-Term Market Indicator: NYSE Advance/Decline Line

    While the markets could come under some

    short-term pressure, our longer-term marke

    indicators remain bullish and supportive of the

    equity markets.

    Our preferred long-term market indicatorthe

    NYSE Advance/Decline (A/D) Lineis a

    cumulative indicator of market breadth

    capturing the number of stocks advancing o

    declining. This indicator continues to move

    higher, showing strong market breadth. However, we do note that the A/D line has not

    yet made a new high concurrent with the new

    price high on the S&P 500. We are watching thisclosely and would like to see this indicator make

    a new high, thus validating the price high for the

    S&P 500. Failure to make a new high could

    mark an early warning signal for the U.S. equity

    markets.

    Intermarket Picture

    U.S. Dollar Index The U.S. Dollar Index pulled back over the last two weeks, in part due to more dovish comments by

    the Fed. The U.S. Dollar Index is now trading at its first support level of 81.80, which if broken, could see the U.S. dollar

    decline down to the next support at 80.50, which marks the June lows. Given the recent more dovish comments from the

    Fed, we see the potential for additional short-term weakness, possibly down to the 80.50 level. However, given our view

    that Fed tapering is a matter of when, not if, we remain bullish on the U.S. dollar and see it potentially making new highs

    in the coming months. Our call for the Canadian dollar to rally up to US$0.97 has been realized. We now see the potentia

    for the Canadian dollar to peak soon and head lower.

    U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield Following the important technical breakout of the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, rising

    above the 2.40% level, the 10-year yield has been consolidating in a range between 2.45% and 2.70%, helping to work off

    the overbought technical condition. We believe that the 10-year yield will remain in a holding pattern until the Fed provides

    more clarity on its plans to taper its asset purchases. While economic data could impact yields on the margin in the

    coming months, the Fed is really in the drivers seat for yields, in our opinion. Ultimately, we see yields moving up to the

    3% range as they begin to taper but given the uncertainty of when that will happen, it is hard to forecast when yields wilbreakout to the upside. In the near-term, we expect yields to remain range-bound between 2.10% and 2.70%.

    Gold Gold has bounced back sharply, rising nearly 12% since the July lows. The rally in gold can be attributed to moredovish comments by the Fed over its asset purchases, which has led to weakness in the U.S. dollar, and in turn provided

    a boost to the price of gold. Sticking with our technical discipline, we see the recent bounce in the gold price as short term

    with the technicals remaining bearish in our view. We see US$1,336/oz. as a key technical level, and only a break and

    two day hold above this level would alter our current negative view. This level acted as support in mid-May, so we need to

    see the gold price break above and hold this level, which is now resistance. More importantly, the 50-day MA comes in at

    US$1,331/oz. and we see this as a key level for the gold price, as the 50-day MA has contained and provided resistance

    to the gold price for nearly a year now. If gold can break above these levels, then the downtrend would be over, with gold

    back in its trading range of roughly between US$1,335/oz and US$1,550/oz.

    WTI Oil WTI oil price has rallied up to an important resistance level around $108/barrel and now looks to be rolling over

    Given the recent overbought (RSI) condition for the WTI oil price, momentum that appears to be rolling over (lower panel

    and it trading near key resistance, we look for a pullback in the WTI oil price to $98/barrel, which represents technical

    support and the 50-day MA.

    Technical Almanac Trading Ideas

    Canadian Western Bank (CWB-T) Published July 24, 2013

    Canadian financials are up strongly since mid-June, and as a result, the sector has become technically overbought inthe short term. One stock in particular that is overbought and could experience some profit taking is CanadianWestern Bank.

    Having advanced 11% since mid-June, CWBs Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading is 74.29, which is well abovethe typical overbought level of 70. We note that over the last 15 months, CWB experienced overbought conditions inSeptember 2012 and February 2013, both of which preceded a pullback in the stock of 8.4% and 14.3%,respectively.

    We also note a bearish head and shoulders top forming, with the stock currently forming the right shoulder. Given the overbought technical condition, we believe the shares could pullback in the short term, potentially to

    support around $27. Investors long CWBs shares may want to consider trimming or selling their positions ahead ofthis expected pullback.

    PNC Financial Services Group (PNC-N) Published July 26, 2013

    From our technical breakout/breakdown* model we are highlighting PNC Financial Services Group as an attractivebuy candidate.

    Despite PNCs impressive 32% advance year-to-date, we believe the stocks technical profile remains bullish and seethe potential for further upside. PNC has been trading in a well-defined upward channel since the November 2012

    lows, supported by its rising 20 and 50-day moving averages (MA). The 50-day MA in particular has provided supporton each short-term pullback, which is a sign of technical strength. PNCs relative strength versus the broader markeremains strong. Finally, investors continue to accumulate shares as seen by its rising On Balance Volume indicator(cumulative measure of trading volume).

    A major tenet of technical analysis is that prices move in trends, and this is clearly demonstrated in PNCs pricechart. We see little technical evidence that this trend could be ending, and therefore recommend investorsaccumulate shares. However, having a plan is crucial when investing, and we recommend investors use a stop lossof $69, which is just below its 50-day MA and technical support from the June lows.

    NOTE: Our technical breakout/breakdown model is based on a weekly screen of the S&P 500 and S&P/TSX Composite for

    stocks making a new high/low over the last 90 days on volume greater than +1 standard deviation from the 90-day average

    volume.
