There are changes to two Invesco models this week. The Invesco Commodity Model (POWRSHARES) sold the Invesco DB Base Metals Fund (DBB) and bought the Invesco DB Oil Fund (DBO). DBB was sold because its rank in the model’s relative strength matrix fell below the threshold to remain a holding in the portfolio. In its place, the model added DBO as it was the highest-ranking fund in the matrix that was not already a holding in the portfolio.

DBO currently has a near-perfect 5.88 fund score, which is 1.05 points better than the average for all energy and natural resources funds, and a positive 5.79 fund score. On its default chart, DBO has given three consecutive buy signals and reached a new multi-year high in last week’s trading. Year-to-date (through 3/13), DBO has gained 68.44% on a price return basis; the fund also carries a 3% yield. In addition to DBO, the model also has exposure to the Invesco DB Energy Fund (DBE). Year-to-date, POWRSHARES has gained 19.77%.

The Invesco Sector Seven Model (POWER7) sold in the Invesco Wilderhill Clean Energy Fund (PBW) and bought the Invesco Oil & Gas Services ETF (PXJ). PBW was sold because its rank in the model’s relative strength matrix fell below the threshold to remain a holding in the portfolio. In its place, the model added PXJ as it was the highest-ranking fund in the matrix that was not already a model holding.

PXJ currently has a near-perfect 5.86 fund score, which is 1.03 points better than the average for all energy and natural resources funds, and a positive 3.13 score direction. Year-to-date, PXJ has gained 31.31% on a price return basis and carries a 2% yield. In addition to PXJ, POWER7 also has exposure to aerospace & defense, building & construction, clean energy, next gen connectivity, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors. Year-to-date, POWER7 has gained 6.14%.

The distribution curve places each ETF on a bell curve according to their respective degrees of overbought or oversold status using a 10-week distribution. ETFs that are statistically oversold will appear on the left-hand side of the bell curve, while those that have become statistically overbought will appear on the right-hand side of the bell curve. Perhaps the most useful attribute of this feature is that it displays the entire universe on the curve at one time to give us a general picture of whether the Invesco ETF universe is generally overbought on a near-term basis, or generally oversold. Our best opportunities are to buy strong relative strength ETFs that have regressed back toward mean conditions based on market weakness, or have become oversold based upon extreme market weakness. Weekly Distribution is a short-term gauge that is most helpful in timing entry and exit points, while the longer-term information of trend and relative strength is a more controlling factor in the decision of whether to buy or sell.
