Breadth Negative as Major Averages Slumped

All eleven sectors finished in negative territory as the Dow lost 574 points, and the technology heavy Nasdaq Composite declined 1.3%, while the S&P 500 decreased 1.5%. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were only 15 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 42 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows outnumbered new highs 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 the new highs totals to improve in the immediate days ahead. Stay tuned!

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index closed below its 50-day moving average (DMA) with a loss after finding support and posting 3 gains from its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. equities plummeted Tuesday after Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell stated interest rates may have to rise higher for longer during his testimony to Congress. Powell’s comments come after multiple economic readings were reported stronger than expected, warranting the potential for a faster monetary tightening. Multiple analysts are now thinking the Fed will raise rates by a half-point instead of the hoped for quarter-point at the March 22nd FOMC meeting.

On the data front, January’s finalized wholesale inventories remained unchanged at a 0.4% decline month-over-month. Meanwhile, January’s consumer credit came in lower than expected as it increased $4.11 billion from its downwardly revised $10.692 billion print in December.

Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note remaining unchanged at 3.97% while the 30-year bond yield lost three basis points (0.03%) to 3.88%. The yield on the two-year note increased thirteen basis points (0.13%) to 5.01% after touching 5% for the first time since 2007. Meanwhile, the 2- and 10-year inversion widened to 100 basis points (1%) during intraday trading, notching its widest level since September 1981. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped 3.8% to $77.41/barrel as analyst’s concerns mount around the potential inefficiencies within the global oil market created by the Russian/Ukrainian War. In FOREX trading, the greenback rose 1.2% against a basket of major currencies, notching a level not seen in roughly two months.

The Biotech Index ($BTK -1.85%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.07%), and Networking Index ($NWX -1.52%) suffered unanimous losses.

Mexican Coke Bottler Hits New Multi-Year High

Coca Cola Femsa Sab Ads (KOF +$0.10 or +0.13% to $76.41) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/23 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain. Subsquent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal.

KOF has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Jun, Sep and Dec '22 quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) backed by strong sales revenues growth. Annal earnings had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic.

It hails from the Beverages - Non-Alcoholic group which is currently ranked 97th on the 197 Industry Groups list. There are only 107.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 120 in Mar '22 to 155 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Closed in the upper third of its intra-day range today as it posted a solid gain, breaking into new all-time high territory with volume +37% above average. It has the look of a solid technical breakout, but members were previously 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."
