Major Indices Rallied Further With Continued Healthy Leadership

The S&P 500 (+1.0%) and Nasdaq Composite (+1.5%) were pushed to all-time highs in a broad advance. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 111 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 82 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking 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 S&P 500 Index is posted a sold gain and is perched at a new all-time high.

NVIDIA (NVDA +4.47%) reached a new all-time high. Meta Platforms (META +3.25%) and Alphabet (GOOG +2.02%) also were among the influential winners in the market.  Strength in the mega cap and semiconductor spaces drove the outperformance of the S&P 500 information technology sector (+1.9%) and the communication services sector (+1.8%). Nine of the 11 sectors registered gains. The financials (-0.2%) and real estate (-0.1%) sectors saw slim declines. 

Fed Chair Powell's remarks before the Senate Banking Committee did not produce any surprise headlines. The 10-yr note yield hit 4.06% after the release of the weekly initial jobless claims, Q4 Productivity, and January Trade Balance Report, but it settled at 4.09%.

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.

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).
