Major Averages Erased Early Losses to End Session Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages staged a late rally and stocks finished higher on Wednesday. The Dow added 50 points to 16482. The S&P 500 was up 8 points to 1929. The NASDAQ gained 36 points at 4540. Volume was reported higher on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly 2-1 on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. However, there was less leadership as 15 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from a total of 19 on the prior session. The number of new 52-week lows also grew and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index managed a "positive reversal" for a gain on higher volume. It still faces near-term resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Improved action from the major averages (M criteria) last Wednesday 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."Stocks improved along with crude while Treasuries sold-off. West Texas Intermediate crude rebounded from a 3% morning decline despite a report that showed U.S. oil stockpiles increased by 3.5 million barrels last week. Elsewhere on the data front, a preliminary gauge of Markit Services PMI for February came in at 49.8, representing the first contraction for the services sector in two years. New home sales fell by 9.2% in January, the steepest drop since 2010. Nine out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher on the session. Energy and Materials stocks paced the gains while Financials lagged. In earnings, Target (TGT +4%) rose after the company released better-than-expected forward guidance. Shares of Avis Budget Group (CAR -26.55%) tumbled as the company missed Wall Street earnings estimates and released disappointing full-year guidance. Treasuries retreated late in the session with the benchmark 10-year note slipping 6/32 to yield 1.74%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 1.3% to $32.29/barrel. COMEX gold added 1.3% to $1238.70/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar was little changed as weakness against the yen offset gains against the British pound.
