Global Industrials: BofA Industrial Momentum Indicator slightly rebounds MoM

BofA Industrial Momentum Indicator

The BofA Industrial Momentum Indicator is a proprietary tool for identifying major

inflection points for global industrial stocks spanning the US, European, and Japanese

Machinery, Multi-Industry, Transportation, and Aerospace & Defense sectors. We worked

with our Data Analytics team to create an indicator that is intended to lead Industrial

sales revisions, earnings growth, and the Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers'

Index (Global Mfg PMI) on a two-month basis.

In our backtest period, Industrials generally underperformed the market in periods when

the BofA Industrial Momentum Indicator was falling and typically outperformed when

the Indicator bottomed and improved. This dynamic is also applicable when evaluating

cyclical versus defensive sectors.
