Major Indices Rose With Improved Leadership

The major indices faded from their highs in the afternoon trade, but still closed with gains ranging from +0.2% to +0.7%. Volume reported was mixed, slightly higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 82 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 66 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a small gain while consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Impressive earnings and outlook from cybersecurity software provider CrowdStrike (CRWD +10.76%) contributed to the renewed buying in growth stocks and the tech space. Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors finished higher. The utilities sector (+1.0%) saw the largest gain, followed by the heavily-weighted information technology sector (+0.9%). Losses in some mega caps caused the communication services (-0.2%) and consumer discretionary (-0.4%) sectors to underperform the broader market.

New York Community Bancorp (NYCB +7.45%) rallied after announcing an over $1 billion equity investment anchored by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital, Hudson Bay and Reverence Capital. Shares initially plunged more than -40.0% on a Wall Street Journal report that the company was seeking to raise capital.

The 10-yr note yield slid three basis points to 4.10% and the 2-yr note yield settled one basis point higher.

Tech, Broker/Dealer, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.47%) edged higher and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.66%) edged lower. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.42%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +1.00%) while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.28%) posted a smaller gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.01%) posted a solid gain as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.69%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.31%) both posted smaller gains.

Y - Posted a solid gain today with below-average volume for a best-ever close near its all-time high. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a conviciing new technical buy signal. Through Dec '23 its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Previously noted - "A strong volume-driven gain and close above the pivot point is needed to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Found support recently at its 50 DMA line ($538). Reported Jan '24 quarterly earnings +36% on +21% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
