Major Indices Were Hit Again With More Distributional Pressure

The Dow fell 503 points, capping a 1% weekly decline. The S&P 500 slumped 1.9% while the Nasdaq Composite retreated 2.8%. Both benchmarks turned negative for the week, sliding 1.8% and 2.2%, respectively. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling pressure. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 33 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchangeA follow-through day on Monday, January 31st confirmed a new uptrend for the market averages (M criteria).

A sell-off in U.S. equities deepened on Friday amid escalating geopolitical tensions. Officials from both the U.S. and U.K. urged their citizens to exit Ukraine on reports of an imminent Russian invasion. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the path of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) also continued to weigh on investor sentiment.  In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude surged 4.3% to $93.78/barrel, capping an eighth consecutive weekly advance, its longest winning streak since October.

Perceived safe-haven assets caught a bid amid the apparent risk off tone, with the U.S. dollar rising 0.5%. Treasuries also rallied, with the yield on the 10-year note down 13 basis points (0.13%) to 1.92%, nearly erasing its weekly rout. The two-year note yield fell back below 1.50%, though the more Fed-sensitive rate remained 18 basis points (0.18%) higher compared to a week ago.

Thursday's report showed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed at a 7.5% annual pace in January, marking the highest reading since February 1982. The update stoked expectations for aggressive monetary policy tightening. On the data front Friday, a preliminary February reading from the University of Michigan revealed consumer sentiment deteriorating to its lowest level since October 2011.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Technology shares leading the decline. The Energy group outperformed amid the spike in oil prices, while the more traditionally defensive Utilities sector eked out a modest gain.
