Leadership Improved Monday; Rally Has Been Under Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 72 points, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.6% amid a rally in technology shares. The S&P 500 Index advanced 0.3%. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as the were 26 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 outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend under pressure (M criteria). For any rally to be sustained there must be healthy leadership. It will be important to watch for further improvement in the new highs totals in the immediate days ahead. Stay tuned!
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index closed just above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after testing its 200 DMA line on the prior session.
Seven of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities finished higher, but pared gains, on Monday. Wall Street tried to rebound from last week’s slump and investors looked ahead to key corporate earnings. Market participants will parse through earnings releases from major retailers for insights into the health of the consumer.
On the data front, durable goods orders fell more than expected in January, down 4.5% after climbing 5.6% in the prior month. The report signaled the decline came as consumers reined in spending on big-ticket items. Meanwhile, capital goods orders climbed 0.8% in the same period. Pending home sales jumped 8.1% month-over-month in January, its largest increase since June 2020. However, the report noted high mortgage rates will likely continue to pose a challenge for the housing sector. Meanwhile, the Dallas Federal Reserve (Fed) Manufacturing Activity Index fell more than anticipated in February, down to -13.5 from January’s -8.4 print.
U.S. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down three basis points (0.03%) to 3.92%, while the 30-year bond yield was unchanged at 3.93%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, shed three basis points (0.03%) to 4.78%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slid 0.8% to $75.71/barrel amid concerns over the future course of U.S. monetary policy. |

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.26%), Bank Index ($BKX +0.20%), and Retail Index ($RLX +0.25%) collectively edged higher. The tech sector also had a slightly positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.55%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.44%), and Biotech Index ($BTK +0.68%) each posted a gain of less than +1%. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.38%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.72%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.81%) posted unanimous gains.
PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.72%) stalled in January after briefly exceeding the November high. Recently it has been sputtering near prior lows and its 200-day moving average (DMA) line which define important near-term suport to watch.

Quietly Lingering Near High With Strong Fundamentals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK +$0.08 or +0.34% to $23.80) posted a 3rd consecutive gain with below average volume and closed only -1.7% off its all-time high. It showed resilience after briefly violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on 2/07/23. Members were reminded - "Disciplined investors know that gains above a stock's pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper technical buy signal."
It faces very little resistance due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/27/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Graphic Packaging Perched Near Pivot Point".
GPK was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the 10/25/22 mid-day report (read here). GPK has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +74% on +20% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).
The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 139th on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a C (30) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 722 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Hitting a new all-time high with today's gain and its color code is changed to green after rising above its "max buy" level. Its 50 DMA line ($42.06) definies important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. It wedged into new high territory with gains lacking great volume conviction since a new pivot point was recently cited based on its 12/01/22 high plus 10 cents.
