10/18/17 Sector trends reinforce bullish outlookSector-level trends still endorse the risk-on trade. In addition to Tech’s tenure as long-term leadership, other cyclicals continue to congregate at the top of our weekly relative strength rankings, including Materials, Manufacturing, and Transports (as well as Health Care). Of these, Manufacturing just broke out to all-time relative strength highs (see chart below), re-inforcing its overweight status. These trends, in addition to improving technicals overseas,
Further down our rankings, improvements are visible in other Sectors, including Energy and Consumer Discretionary. Energy, which we have highlighted extensively for the past month, continues to work through a bottoming process, with both Brent and WTI emerging from multi-year bottoms. We view this Sector as an attractive market-weight. And in Consumer Discre-tionary, though still a laggard, pockets of strength continue to develop in areas like Autos, Homebuilders, and Hotels and Casinos.
In this week’s report we focus on actionable ideas in four Groups, one from our Manufacturing Sector, three from Materials:
• Specialty Metals (MA-03). KRO, ATI, GSM, CRS, USAP... page 6-8
• Large-Cap Specialty Chemicals (MA-08). AIQUY, PX, APD, AKZOY, ALB, CC, OLN... page 9-12
• Plastics, Polymers, & Resins (MA-10). POL, KRA, SHLM, OMN, CMT... page 13-15
• Engineered Metals/Materials (MF-37). LECO, VMI, HSC, TRB, PKOH, HNH, BOOM, FSTR, EML... page 16-20

Overweight. OurManufacturing Sector isbreaking out to all-time priceand relative strength highs.
MARKET OBSERVATIONS Manufacturing tops our Sector rankings.
Sector Rankings (RSR)Manufacturing just surpassed Health Care as our top-ranked (equal-weighted) Sector. Overweight.
Health Care, though no longer in the pole position, re-mains a leader, with biotechs exhibiting attractive entry points.
Materials and Tech are close on the heels of Manufactur-ing and Health Care.
Energy (market weight) continues to creep higher in our weekly rankings. It’s not a leader, but it no longer ranks dead-last; that honor now belongs to Consumer Staples (underweight).
No weighting changes
No changes to our Sector weightings this week.
Materials is on-deck for a potential upgrade.
