Disruptions in the Middle East are beginning to ripple well beyond energy markets, quietly reshaping the cost structure and flow of global agriculture.

This report challenges the traditional divide between momentum and value investing by demonstrating how SIA’s relative strength framework can help uncover deep-value stocks as they begin to recover. By integrating the CANSLIM model with tools like the SIA Relative Strength Advancers and Point & Figure charting, advisors may be able to shorten the typical wait time associated with traditional value strategies. Sector rotation signals, including the recent rise in the Drugs sector and Merck’s early-stage Point & Figure catapult breakout, provide timely, real-world examples of hunting tomorrow’s leaders before they become broadly recognized. Most importantly, this approach reframes opportunity cost not as an unavoidable trade-off, but as a risk that can be actively managed through disciplined, data-driven positioning.

ArcelorMittal (MT) shares have surged nearly 70% year to date, climbing the SIA relative strength rankings and breaking out of a decade-long technical base. Momentum indicators like ADX show increasing trend strength as shares push through key resistance levels. As seed capital for Form Energy since mid-2021, MT is committed to ESG goals by investing in iron-air battery technology still in the conceptual phase that could power its steel mills in the future, similar to Xcel Energy’s partnership with Form Energy highlighted last week as a leading “gro-tility” in long-duration energy storage. This commitment is reflected in the hands-on leadership of Lakshmi Mittal, who regularly visits the mills on Sundays, engaging with workers and experiencing the sights and sounds of the plants firsthand, demonstrating a level of involvement uncommon among billionaires.
