Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved as Major Indices Rose

The Dow added 700 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.6%. The S&P 500 increased 2.3% Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 10 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying, reduce exposure and raise cash until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day is noted.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain with higher volume after sputtering near its October low. The gain may best be considered Day 1 of a new rally attempt, not a valid follow-through day.

U.S. equities surged Friday after December’s job data reported a slightly weakening labor market. December’s nonfarm payrolls decreased slightly from November’s revised 256,000 print to 223,000 while wages grew slower-than-anticipated, increasing 0.3% in December versus the 0.4% estimated. Stocks continued to gain momentum throughout the day after December’s Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Services Index contracted more than expected showing signs that the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate hike policy may be working to ease inflation. All S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Materials pacing gains.

In the central bank space, Fed Governor Lisa Cook acknowledged signs of inflation cooling. However, she cited inflation remains way too high and needs to fall more to reach an acceptable level as the central bank remains concerned with the resilient labor market. Following suit, Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin agreed that Fed officials need to keep working to bring inflation down but to do so “deliberately”.

Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down 15 basis points (0.15%) to 3.56%, while the 30-year bond yield dipped nine basis points (0.09%) to 3.69%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, declined 19 basis points (0.19%) to 4.26%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was unchanged at $73.67/barrel as investors assess the volatility in the market from warmer weather, China’s reopening, and Saudi’s oil exports to Asia. In the metals complex, Gold increased 1.7% to its highest level since June amid a less-hawkish Fed.

Pulled Back After Perched Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Box Inc Cl A (BOX -$0.30 or -0.99% to $29.91) pulled back for a 2nd consecutive session. It hovered in a tight range and made little headway since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/01/22 high plus 10 cents in the 12/12/22 mid-day report (read here). BOX was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Heavy Behind Breakout for Box Inc". Members were reminded - <i>"Keep in mind it still faces some additional resistance due to overhead supply up to the $33 level."</i> In the interim, broader weakness in the market (M criteria) has also raised concerns.

BOX reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +41% on +12% sales revenues over the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) for the 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison. Quarterly and annual earnings increases have been strong and steady. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are 142.9 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 468 in Dec '21 to 570 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
