Afternoon Rally Helped Indices Rebound From Early Lows
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 53 points (-0.16%) and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 15.66 points (-0.11%), meanwhile the benchmark S&P 500 Index closed Wednesday's session 3.94 points higher (+0.09%). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE, but advancers led decliners by a much narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) are in an uptrend under pressure. For any sustained rally there must be a healthy crop of stocks hitting new highs, so it remains critically important for leadership to improve. PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has been sputtering for weeks below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which are now converging - technically termed a "death cross".
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with growth-related groups lagging. In earnings, ViacomCBS Inc. (VIAC -17.81%) fell following a disappointing profit tally. The multimedia company also announced it would change its corporate name to Paramount Global to highlight its streaming service. Roblox Corporation (RBLX -26.51%) and Shopify Inc. (SHOP -16.04%) were standout decliners following their earnings reports and disappointing outlooks. Meanwhile, Generac Holdings Inc. (GNRC +14.36%) jumped after the generator maker delivered a top and bottom line beat and forecasted strong growth in 2022. Elsewhere, Kraft Heinz Co. (KHC +5.59%) rose on better-than-expected results, with product price increases helping offset higher input costs. Owens Corning (OC +9.16%) posted a large gain following earnings and sales which beat estimates.
U.S. stocks recovered from early weakness with an afternoon rally helping the major indices finish the day mixed and little changed following the release of the Federal Reserve’s January meeting minutes. On Tuesday, stocks snapped a three-day losing streak amid signs of de-escalating tensions in Ukraine. High-level diplomacy talks are reportedly ongoing, but claims from Russia that some military units have returned to their bases are under scrutiny today, with Western leaders unable to verify Moscow’s assertion. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 1.2% to $90.95/barrel after data showed an unexpected weekly buildup in domestic stockpiles.
Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points (0.03%) to 2.02%. The yield on the more Fed-sensitive two-year note declined six basis points (0.06%) to 1.51%, while a gauge of the U.S. dollar fell 0.2%. On the data front, retail sales climbed a better-than-expected 3.8% in January, the most in 10 months, rebounding from the prior downwardly revised 2.5% decline. Separately, both import and export prices rose during the period, while industrial production increased a stronger-than-anticipated 1.4%. Additionally, a measure of homebuilder sentiment eased in February.
