Averages Rally for 3rd Straight Session But Leadership Remains Thin
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished firmly higher on Wednesday. The Dow was up 257 points to 16453. The S&P 500 gained 31 points to 1926. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 98 points to 4534. Volume was reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a reassuring sign of buying coming from large institutional investors. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from a total of 8 on the prior session. The total number of new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index finished strong as it posted a 3rd consecutive gain, rallying after slumping near its prior lows. However, the market stalled after a rare third-day follow-through on 12/16/15, and there is less leadership today.
Improved action from the major averages (M criteria) has signaled a new follow through day and confirmed rally, an encouraging sign that a deeper correction and more serious "Bear Market" may be avoided. Members have been repeatedly reminded - "Any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (defined as stocks hitting new highs), however, few leaders have bullish chart patterns and the few isolated technical breakouts of late have been quickly negated." The major averages rose for a third-straight session as oil prices advanced
after Iran indicated support for a proposed production freeze. On the data
front, wholesale prices unexpectedly rose 0.1% in January. Excluding food and
energy, producer prices were up 0.4%. Industrial production increased 0.9% last
month. Another release revealed a surprise 3.8% decline in housing starts at the
beginning of the year. The minutes from the Fed’s January meeting showed policy
makers were concerned over the impact of falling commodity prices and global
markets on the U.S. economy.
The advance was led by energy companies including Chevron (CVX +4.13%). Kinder
Morgan (KMI +10%) rose after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB +1.32%) disclosed
a stake in the company. Tech and Consumer Discretionary also provided a tailwind
to the market. Microsoft (MSFT +2.6%) rose. Priceline (PCLN +11.24%) surged as the online travel agent’s quarterly earnings beat consensus
estimates.
Treasuries extended its losses to a third day. The 10-year note fell 9/32 to
yield 1.80% as gains in oil and equities tempered demand for perceived safety in
U.S. government debt. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rallied 5.3% to
$30.57/barrel. COMEX gold was essentially flat at $1207.80/ounce.
