TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses on Thursday and Friday signaled a shift from the prior market uptrend (M criteria) to an uptrend under pressure and then quickly to a "market correction".  Disciplined investors know to reduce market exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.  


Major Averages Posted Gains Backed by Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow added 336 points (1.1%), while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.1%. The S&P 500 increased 1.7%, snapping a three-day losing streak. Volume totals on Tuesday were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating lackluster buying demand coming from the institutional crowd. Breadth shifted to the positive side as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the  BreakOuts Page, versus 1 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still soldly outnumbered a thin list of new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The evaporation of leadership and damaging losses late last week abruptly signaled that the major indices are in a market correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that in a market correction it is best to avoid new buying efforts and raise safe cash.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain with lighter volume but remains below its 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after 5 consecutive damaging losses marked by higher volume.

All eleven sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities closed higher Tuesday. February’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) readings mostly met analysts’ expectations. Further boosting markets, the banking sector eased during intraday trading Tuesday after a major selloff hampered major averages in prior trading sessions. Following the closure of two regional banks, market participants are betting the risk has potentially been contained as bank stocks rebounded during Tuesday’s trading, leading to the sector’s biggest one-day climb since November 10.

On the data front, February’s National Federation of Independent Business’s Business Optimism Index unexpectedly increased from 90.3 to 90.9, notching its highest reading in three months. Despite February’s uptick, the index continues to remain below pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, February’s CPI showed a 0.4% month-over-month gain and a 6% year-over-year increase. Core CPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices, climbed 0.5% month-over-month and 5.5% year-over-year.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note increasing 14 basis points (0.14%) to 3.66% while the 30-year bond yield added 10 basis points (0.10%) to 3.78%. The yield on the two-year note gained 28 basis points (0.28%) to 4.23%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 4.4% to $71.52/barrel amid fears of a potential financial crisis that may impact future demand. Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) projected an increase in Chinese demand in 2023 while keeping world oil demand growth forecasts unchanged at 2.32 million barrels/day.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +3.04%) and Bank Index ($BKX +3.20%) both bounced back on Tuesday repairing part of Monday's big losses. The  Retail Index ($RLX +1.24%) notched a modest gain. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +3.03%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX +2.28%) and Biotech Index ($BTK +1.01%) followed with smaller gains. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.99%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.68%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.99%) each posted gains.  

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.99%) posted again today but remains below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after a 6-day slump which also undercut its December 2022 low.
