From a macro perspective, the market is pretty boring right now. In August, there was heavy buying of the assets that had been sold in July, though defensive energy and commodity assets continue to rise. The latter were added back to the portfolio this month after being temporarily removed in July due to weak momentum.
Interestingly, this is the first month in which all assets have made a positive contribution to performance.
The market remains challenging for momentum strategies due to a lack of clear direction; MATT continues to hold a somewhat neutral position.
Interestingly, Bitcoin has surprisingly gained nearly enough momentum to be included in MATT—perhaps we’ll see a BTC comeback in September.
