Quant strategy advises bullish stance on stocks, bearish on commodities.

Prometheus Research recommends a strategy that is bullish on stocks and bearish on commodities, as it sees potential for deflation in the market. The researchers use quantitative analysis to understand underlying mechanisms driving the economy that can indicate future market trajectories. The strongest signals are currently short commodities and long equities. The Prometheus view fits with the economic outlook expressed by Steve Englander, head of North American macro strategy at Standard Chartered, who looked at tax receipts for May.
