Volume 18 Highlights

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) has broken above an important resistance level of roughly 14,300, and is quickly approaching its all-time high around 15,000. Given the strong year-to-date (YTD) gain for the S&P/TSX, it is technically overbought on a weekly basis with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 69. With the index technically overbought (on a weekly basis) and it approaching key technical resistance, we believe the S&P/TSX is likely to encounter a period of consolidation in the coming months.

The Canadian industrials sector has underperformed YTD, but we

believe the technical profile of the sector has improved of late. The sector continues to trend higher in a short-term upward channel, and is trading above its important 50- and 200-day MAs. More importantly, the sector has recently broken above its short-term relative downtrend, which has been in place since December 2013.

The intermediate- and long-term trends remain firmly bullish for

major U.S. indices. As such, we maintain our constructive long-term view of the U.S. equity markets. In the short term, however, some concerning technical trends have started to emerge. These trends, if they persist, could be early warning signs of a potential pullback over the seasonally weak summer period. First, U.S. government bond yields continue to trend lower. Second, the consumer discretionary sector continues to underperform versus the consumer staples sector, a sign of "risk off". And third, the higher beta indices, such as the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 continue to underperform, which points to a clear divergence in the U.S. equity markets.

In this week’s report, we highlight Cenovus Energy Inc. (CVE-N)

and as an attractive buy candidate, and recommend investors trim/sell AT&T Inc. (T-N) and CBS Corp. (CBS-N).

Chart of the Week: Bonds continue to rally while higher beta

indices continue to trend lower. Does the bond market know

something that the stock market does not?

Technical Commentary

S&P/TSX Composite Index

The S&P/TSX has broken above an important resistance level of roughly 14,300, and is quickly approaching its all-

time high around 15,000.

Given the strong YTD gain for the S&P/TSX, it is technically overbought on a weekly basis with an RSI reading of

69.

Additionally, we note that the S&P/TSX is approaching its 2008 highs, which we expect to provide formidable

resistance to the index.

With the index technically overbought (on a weekly basis) and approaching key technical resistance, we believe the

S&P/TSX is likely to encounter a period of consolidation in the coming months.

Overall, the technical profile for the S&P/TSX remains very constructive. The index is in an uptrend, above key

MAs, and consistently breaking above important resistance levels. However, we expect a period of sideways,

consolidating price action, which would help reset the current overbought technical condition.

Ranking of Weekly Momentum

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at May 13, 2014.

Weekly Momentum:

The telecommunications sector rebounded sharply last week, driven by price gains in BCE Inc. (BCE-T), Rogers

Communications Inc, (RCI.B-T) and Telus Corp. (T-T). The sector jumped to the top spot in our sector rankings,

following multiple weeks of poor relative performance.

Financials also reversed their recent string of weak performance, climbing to the second spot in our sector rankings.

The materials sector remains under pressure, with the sector near the bottom of our sector rankings in four of the

last six weeks.

The health care and information technology sectors reversed their recent gains, falling to the bottom of our sector

rankings.

Market Condition:

With the recent strength in the telecommunications sector, it is now technically overbought with an RSI level of

72.58. With the sector at horizontal price resistance, and technically overbought, we see the potential for some

short-term profit taking.

Other:

The materials, health care, and information technology sectors are trading below their respective 50-day MAs. All

10 GICs sectors are trading above their respective 200-day MAs, which is a sign of technical strength.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

S&P/TSX Capped Industrials Index

The Canadian industrials sector has underperformed YTD, but we believe the technical profile of the sector has

improved and could be signalling improved performance in the coming months.

First, we note that the sector continues to trend higher in a short-term upward channel, and is trading above its

important 50- and 200-day MAs.

More importantly, the sector has recently broken above its short-term relative downtrend, which has been in place

since December 2013 (lower panel).

Given the sector's solid price trends, and its improving relative trends, we believe the sector could begin to

outperform in the coming months, and would recommend an overweight in the sector within portfolios.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

Page 5

Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJIA)

In the Technical Take dated December 2, 2013, we predicted a "measured move for the DJIA to 16,750, or 4% potential upside from current levels." With the DJIA breaking out last week and hitting new highs (16,735), our technical forecast has been realized. Now, where will it go from here?

The intermediate and long-term trends remain firmly bullish for major U.S. indices. As such, we maintain our constructive long-term view of the U.S. equity market.

However, in the short-term, some concerning technical trends are starting to emerge. These trends, if they persist, could be an early warning sign of a potential pullback over the seasonally weak summer period. First, U.S. government bond yields continue to trend lower (see additional commentary on page 8). Second, the consumer discretionary sector continues to underperform versus the consumer staples sector, a sign of "risk off". And third, the higher beta indices, such as the Nasdaq and Russell 2000, continue to underperform, which points to a clear divergence in the U.S. equity market (lower panels).

At present, these are simply divergences, which are providing a mixed message of the U.S. equity markets. We believe either the divergences will reverse (i.e., the Nasdaq and bond yields move higher), or the broader S&P 500 and DJIA will pull back in the coming weeks. We will be monitoring these relationships closely in the coming weeks.

Ranking of Weekly Momentum

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. As at May 13, 2014.

Weekly Momentum:

The telecommunications sector also outperformed in the U.S., taking the top spot in our sector rankings. The sector

has bounced back sharply over the last weeks, following a challenging April.

The consumer staples sector has shown improved performance, with the sector near the top of our sector rankings

in three of the last six weeks.

The consumer discretionary sector continues to underperform, with the sector near the bottom of our sector

rankings in four of the last six weeks.

The utilities and information technology sectors were the worst performing sectors last week, coming in at the

bottom of our sector rankings.

Market Condition:

The consumer staples sector is currently overbought with an RSI reading of 70.24. All other sectors are neutrally

ranked with RSI levels between 30 and 70.

Other:

The financials and consumer discretionary sectors are trading below their 50-day MAs. All 10 GIC sectors are

trading above their 200-day MAs.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

S&P 500 Telecommunications Services Sector Index

The performance of the S&P 500 telecommunications services sector has improved in recent weeks, with the sector breaking above its year-long relative downtrend (lower panel).

However, the sector is quickly approaching horizontal price resistance in the 160 to 162 range. If that level is breached, next price resistance comes in at 168.

The sector is quickly approaching horizontal price resistance, which may limit further upside. Combined with our view that interest rates could move higher in H2/14, we would use the recent strength in the sector to reduce exposure.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

Intermarket Picture

Euro

In the Technical Take dated March 31, 2014, we highlighted that the European Central Bank (ECB) could implement its own version of Quantitative Easing (QE), which "if they do implement QE, we believe it could lead to a weaker euro and possibly end its 19-month bull run."

While the ECB has seemingly backed away from the prospect of implementing its own version of QE, they did signal quite clearly that they will likely cut interest rates at their June meeting. This signal of additional rate cuts has led to a pullback in the euro, causing it to break important MAs and its long-term uptrend.

Given the prospect off additional monetary stimulus, we see the potential for further weakness in the euro.

U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield

Treasury bond prices continue to catch a bid, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield declining through short-term support of 2.60%. Some pundits are claiming that the recent strength in bond prices has more to do with technical factors (i.e., short covering, improving budget deficit and therefore less supply etc.), while others believe it points to a deceleration in the U.S. economy.

Regardless of the reason, the strength in government bonds is resulting in a clear intermarket divergence that we believe will soon be resolved with either interest rates moving higher (thus supporting the strength in equities) or stocks heading lower (thus supporting the strength in government bond prices).

While the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has broken short-term support of 2.60%, it is important to note that it remains in a longer-term range of 2.45% to 3%. We would view a break below 2.45% as concerning for the U.S. economy and stock market.

Technical Trading Ideas

Cenovus Energy Inc. (CVE-N) – Published May 12, 2014

Cenovus Energy Inc. has pulled back in recent days, however we believe it could move higher from here.

CVE traded range-bound between roughly $28 and $31 in 2013. However, the stock broke above the $31 resistance level in late-March. Following the recent surge in stock price, CVE was technically overbought, which led to some profit taking recently. CVE is once again at the important $31 level, which also intersects with the 50-day moving average. Given the confluence of technical supports at current levels, we believe the stock could bounce soon.

Overall, we believe CVE could now be trading in a new higher range, and with the stock pulling back to the low end of its trading range, we would use the recent weakness to establish positions in the stock.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

Page 10

AT& T Inc. (T-N) – Published May 14, 2014

AT&T Inc. has rallied sharply from its March lows (15%) but we believe it is likely to pull back.

First, we note that T is trading at long-term resistance of $36.50 to $37, which dates back to its April 2013 highs. This resistance may help to cap further upside.

Second, momentum has begun to weaken with the MACD indicator possibly rolling over and the RSI indicator negatively diverging with T's share price.

Finally, we believe U.S. government bond yields could move higher in H2/14, which if correct, could pressure interest sensitive stocks like T.

We are targeting T pulling back to its 50-day MA at $34.50; however, if government bond yields move higher in H2/14, T could retest the low $30s, in our opinion.

The Technical Take May 21, 2014

Page 11

CBS Corp. (CBS-N) – Published May 16, 2014

We are highlighting the technical breakdown* of CBS Corp. as we believe the stock is at a critical juncture.

Since peaking at $67.50 in March, CBS has been in a short-term downtrend, breaking below its important 50- and 200-day MAs. Additionally, CBS has broken below its long-term relative uptrend (lower panel).

The stock is now trading at its long-term price uptrend which intersects at $55. If the stock were to break below this key level, we would recommend exiting the position, and move to the sidelines.

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.
