The S&P 500 (+0.8%) closed at a fresh all-time high (4,297.95). The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6%, the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.1%, and the Russell 2000 jumped 1.7%. Volume was reported higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 10-4 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 83 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 46 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 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 Nasdaq Composite Index is perched at a new multi-year high. It remains -3.6% off its Nov 2021 all-time high.

Geopolitical concerns rose after a drone attack by an Iranian-backed militant group on a U.S. outpost in Jordan that killed three U.S. soldiers and injured many others. WTI crude oil futures dropped 1.5% today to $76.87/bbl, suggesting the market is not overly concerned about disruptions to supplies. President Biden said that there will be a response to that attack. 

The S&P 500 energy sector, which fell 0.2%. The remaining ten sectors saw gains ranging from 0.3% to 1.4%. The market may be indecisive until the FOMC meeting and Fed Chair Powell's press conference on Wednesday. It will be closely watched. The January Employment Situation Report is due to be released on Friday.

The 10-yr note yield dropped to 4.09% and the 2-yr note yield settled at 4.33%. There was a positive reaction to the Treasury Department's first quarter borrowing estimate, after plans to borrow $760 billion in Q1 came in $55 billion below the forecast from October. This was due to higher net fiscal flows and a higher cash balance at the beginning of the quarter. Borrowing in Q2 is expected to reach $202 billion.
