Leadership Improved as Major Indices Rose

The S&P 500 logged a 0.6% gain and turned positive for the year; the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a 0.5% gain; and Nasdaq Composite registered a 0.8% gain. Volume was reported mixed, slightly higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, more than doubling the total of 20 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its all-time high. 

Mega cap stocks boosted the major indexes with influential gains. Apple (AAPL +0.6%) ended higher after it had been down as much as 0.7%, shaking off another analyst downgrade. Meta Platforms (META +3.7%) and NVIDIA (NVDA +2.3%) were among the gainers helping to offset modest weakness in Tesla (TSLA -0.4%).

The health care sector (+0.4%) and the industrial sector (+0.5%) rose. Meanwhile, the energy sector (-1.0%) declined alongside oil prices as WTI crude oil futures fell -1.0% to $71.41/bbl.

Wednesday marked a new $37 billion 10-yr note auction. Treasuries settled little changed as the 2-yr note yield fell two basis points to 4.36% and the 10-yr note yield rose one basis point to 4.03%. Thursday's mews will include the release of the December Consumer Price Index. Earnings reports are due from many firms in the banking industry before Friday's open.

Y - Posted a 3rd consecutive gain today with higher volume. The new pivot point cited was based on its 11/14/23 high plus 10 cents, however, recent gains above the pivot point were not backed by the +40% above-average volume necessary to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Its recent low ($972.08 on 1/03/24) defines near-term support to watch above its 50 DMA line ($957.46).

G - Color code was changed to green after rising above its "max buy" level and hitting another new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain. A solid gain and close above the pivot point triggered a technical buy signal on the prior session. Reported Oct '23 quarterly earnings +105% on +35% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, extending its streak of strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons. Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings history has been strong. Completed its $34 IPO on 6/12/19.

Y - Rebounding near its prior high with today's big 3rd consecutive gain. Pivot point cited recently was based on its 12/20/23 high plus 10 cents after forming an advanced "3 weeks tight" base. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +128% on +76% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, adding to its streak of very strong quarterly results well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history over the past 3 years has been strong, making it a better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
