A new world may be dawning for Brazil
Elections are coming up in Brazil in October: of the two candidates who appear to be the frontrunners, current President Lula’s lead over his main challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, appeared to be waning according to opinion polls. The race is not yet decided, and the stakes are high, as the next president will face, among other tasks, the challenge of allaying market participants’ concerns about Brazil’s growing national debt. Based on initial market reactions, investors are responding positively to Flávio Bolsonaro’s narrowing of the gap with Lula in the polls; or, to put it another way, market participants appear to be placing their trust in a stricter fiscal policy and spending cuts than before, as well as in the possibility of lower interest rates resulting from this and less government intervention. There is still roughly one month left until the Brazilian elections, and the next president will set the course for both Brazil and the local stock market in the coming period.
Hungary: Inflation in August was 1.3% YoY much below the inflation target, but service inflation is still high
Hungary's headline inflation increased to 1.3% year-on-year in August from 1.2% in July. The published data was lower than the consensus and our forecast (both 1.4%). The lower-than-expected inflation was due to above expectation core inflation but lower than expected fuel inflation and lower increase of administered prices.
As momentum in the market’s leading sectors begins to moderate, high-quality laggards are increasingly moving into focus. In today’s technical analysis, we highlight two stocks that are showing encouraging signs following several months of accumulation: Uber, which is also included on our Equity Top Pick List and Mosaic, one of the world’s largest fertilizer producers. We examine the technical setup and key price levels for both stocks.
Best rated US stocks based on momentum ranking
Compelling technical picture:
Mosaic (daily): The stock has posted three consecutive days of strong gains. From a longer-term perspective, this is highly encouraging, although it has not yet broken above the 25 level. However, it has left upside gaps behind and appears to be preparing for a reversal following a prolonged accumulation phase. The chart is now suitable for buying on pullbacks. The minimum expected price target is around 31.25, though higher levels may become visible later on.
Uber (daily): After an extended period of sideways trading, the stock has shown several strong buying days followed by consolidation. The buying wave was not followed by concentrated selling pressure, which points to a potential trend reversal. The stock has not fallen back below 75 for a week, and that level has now turned into support, which is a positive sign and increases the likelihood of a sustained reversal. The minimum price target is 87.5, but the stock could also move toward the 94 area.
List of stocks with a chance of a turnaround in the coming weeks

The momentum model supports the creation of a technical based stock list that helps to find shorter-term trading opportunities. The model can be used to identify stocks that show reversal signals following more sustained falls/underperformance. We examine one-year, six-month, three-month, one-month and five-day momentum values, which are used to rank the stocks under consideration. The higher a stock is ranked in the order, the better it technically performs relative to the others. The change in the ranking over time is used to determine the life cycle of the stock.
- In the first table, we collect the stocks that show the most attractive picture compared to the others in a given week based on momentum factors, of which those are also presented in a separate chart where a favourable situation can be identified based on additional technical analysis tools.
- In the second table, we list the stocks that are already worthy of being placed in watchlist status. They are not among the best performers, but they have the potential to improve and signal a turnaround in a few days or weeks.
- In the third table, we have also collected the more popular stocks to help identify their position in the momentum order.
The report shows the results of a technical - quantitative based stock screening, which does not examine the fundamental background/value of the companies. For this reason, risk management/position sizing rules should be designed accordingly.
