Major Averages Pulled back With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 34 points, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 1% amid a rout in technology shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% with nine of 11 sectors finishing in negative territory. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 margin the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 80 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors have a green light for making new buys only in stocks matching all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back with lighter volume for a 2nd consecutive loss.
U.S. equities finished lower Monday amid climbing Treasury yields and as investors assessed the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy path. The central bank has indicated they need to see marked softening in the labor market to be sure their policy is working, and Friday’s hotter-than-expected jobs report has raised worries they may have to continue hiking rates for longer. All eyes will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speaking engagement tomorrow as investors look for clues as to the future of interest rate hikes.
Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up 11 basis points (0.11%) to 3.64%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed four basis points (0.04%) to 3.67%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, advanced 18 basis points (0.18%) to 4.48%. In the past two sessions, the policy-sensitive two-year note yield has gained 39 basis points (0.39%) as investors speculate whether the Fed may need to raise rates higher than forecasted. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 1.3% to $74.36/barrel amid renewed concerns over supply. However, concerns over global growth and the oil demand outlook has kept a cap on gains. The U.S. Dollar Index added 0.7% against a basket of major currencies as markets continued to digest Friday’s jobs data.
