The Dow added 268 points, while the S&P 500 increased 1.3% with all sectors finishing in positive territory. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.8% Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 16 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The solid gain marked a follow-through day confirming a new uptrend for the major indices (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid gain with higher volume on Day 4 of the rally attempt as it rose above its 50-day moving average line.

U.S. equities rose during Wednesday’s trading session as investors bet on a cooler inflation reading ahead of tomorrow’s release of December’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Analysts currently expect December’s headline (CPI) to ease to a 6.5% print from November’s 7.1%.

In the central bank space, Boston Federal (Fed) Reserve President Susan Collins announced she is leaning towards a smaller rate hike of 25 basis points (0.25%) ahead of the next meeting. She believes adjusting slowly will allow the Fed more time to assess the incoming data before they make their next decision.

Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note declining eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.53%, while the 30-year bond yield dipped nine basis points (0.09%) to 3.65%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, decreased three basis points (0.03%) to 4.21%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude surged 3.3% to $77.59/barrel to close at its highest level since December 30 on hopes for an improved global economy. However, market participants are keeping a close eye on Thursday’s inflation data as this may have an impact on the strength of the U.S. dollar. A weaker dollar makes commodities cheaper and will boost oil demand for other currency holders. In the metals complex, Copper jumped 2.5%, climbing for its fifth straight day amid reports inflation may have peaked.
