Leadership Wanes as Indices Retreat From Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly lower on Monday. The Dow was down 75 points to 19888. The S&P 500 lost 8 points to 2268 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 10 points to 5531. Volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by nearly 2-1 on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 20 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched near its record high.
Near record high territory, the major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages fluctuated throughout the session as oil prices declined and investors looked ahead to the beginning of earnings season. According to Bloomberg data, consensus estimates are for a 3.8% year-over-year increase in S&P 500 profits this quarter. In M&A news, UnitedHealth Group (UNH -0.28%) fell as the company’s OptumCare unit agreed to acquire Surgical Care Affiliates (SCAI +16.21%) for $2.3 billion. Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA +72.82%) rose after agreeing to a $5.2 billion takeover bid from Takeda ()
Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory. Energy shares finished lower with Transocean (RIG - 3.04%) among the decliners. In earnings, Acuity Brands (AYI 14.68%) fell as the company reported weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue. Shares of Global Payments (GPN +7.17%) rose after the firm raised its current-year earnings guidance. Elsewhere on the M&A front, shares of VCA, Inc. (WOOF +28.29%) as the veterinary services provider agreed to be acquired by Mars, Inc. for $9.1 billion.
Treasuries advanced on the session with the benchmark 10-year note up 12/32 to yield 2.37%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 4% to $51.85/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.9% to $1183.50/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.3%. |

G - Pulled back today with lighter volume. Its 50 DMA line ($47.89) and prior low ($45.61 on 12/20/16) define important near-term support levels to watch on pullbacks. Repeatedly noted with caution in prior reports - "Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns."

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while hovering in a very tight trading range near its high, wedging higher with recent gains lacking great volume conviction. New pivot point was cited based on its 11/17/16 high plus 10 cents after an orderly base-on-base pattern. A volume-driven gain and strong close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($23.41) defines important support above prior lows.

On 12/30/16 it was last noted -"Subsequent volume-driven gains above the new pivot point cited may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and prior lows in the $91 area define important support to watch on pullbacks."
