PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied further above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line but remains well below its 200 DMA line.

The major averages finished firmly higher on the first day of March following encouraging economic releases. The ISM survey showed manufacturing activity contracted less than expected in February. January construction spending unexpectedly grew 1.5% versus a projected 0.3% increase. Ford climbed 4.6% to $13.09 after posting better-than-expected February auto sales. Attention was also on the presidential race with 12 states holding primaries and caucuses today.

Nine of 10 S&P 500 sectors were up with Technology, Financials and Materials the best performing groups. Apple (AAPL +3.97%) and JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM  +5.15%) both rallied. Sherwin-Williams (SHW +3.9%) also rose following the better-than-expected construction spending data. Utilities were the lone sector lower on the session. Pepco Holdings (POM -12.87%) fell after Washington D.C.’s mayor joined the list of officials opposed to Exelon (EXC +0.89%) buying the company. In earnings news, Medtronic (MDT -4.15%) fell amid disappointment in the medical device maker’s quarterly results.

Treasuries declined as the equity rally dampened demand for perceived safety in U.S. government debt. Benchmark 10-year notes were down 26/32 to yield 1.83%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rose 1.9% to $34.38/barrel after a report showed OPEC production declined in February. COMEX gold slipped 0.2% to $1232.00/ounce.

The major averages (M criteria) have seen better leadership provide encouraging signs during the current confirmed rally. The Featured Stocks Page includes most current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts.
