NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Capital IQ today announced the company has collaborated with i10 Research to offer enhanced short-term technical commentary on MarketScope Advisor's Trader Tactics, which is now expanded to include recurring views on select commodities and foreign exchange markets, in addition to U.S. equity and Treasury markets. 

The i10 Research daily commentary provides premarket, intermediate, and long-term outlooks for the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and the Canadian S&P/TSX indices.  i10 Research delivers actionable strategic and tactical coverage of global markets for institutional investors.  The research is based on proprietary methods and quantitative research into market behavior and market timing utilizing auction market principles and volume-at-price analysis. 

"The addition of i10 Research to the MarketScope Advisor platform provides market participants with an actionable technical perspective on equities, Treasurys, commodities, and foreign exchange," said Barbara Reguero, Managing Director of Cross-Asset-Class Research at S&P Capital IQ.  "We understand that returns to investors can be enhanced by astute market timing and recognize that many advisors can seek to benefit from using technical and market analysis as a complement to fundamental research and sector and asset diversification."

"Our research coverage is designed to support management of long-term strategic positions and to easily integrate into existing decision-making models," said Jeremy Berkovits, Managing Partner of i10 Research.  "Our goal is to assist investors in achieving superior risk-adjusted returns by delivering high probability, high reward-to-risk trade guidance as well as accurate market timing recommendations."
