Major Indices Bounced Back Sharply Yet Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow gained 1,048 points to 21,237, after briefly dipping below the 20,000 mark in early trading for the first time since 2017. The S&P 500 advanced 6.0%, while the Nasdaq Composite rallied 6.2%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin however there were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows totals decisively outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) have been in a noted "market correction" and investors have been prompted since February 25th to reduce market exposure. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of gains on higher volume to confirm a new market uptrend before initiating any new buying efforts. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid gain Tuesday to finish -25.4% off the all-time high hit on 2/19/20. It precipitously fell, violating its 50 and 200-day moving average lines and sinking below the October 2019 low. U.S. equities finished the session broadly higher Tuesday, propelled by monetary and fiscal policy. The Federal Reserve announced that it would provide a commercial paper funding facility, which will extend credit to households and businesses facing distress. The late time the Fed implemented this action was during the 2008 financial crisis. Additionally, the Trump Administration is weighing a fiscal stimulus plan of more than $1 trillion that would provide direct payments to Americans in as little as two weeks.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the session in positive territory, with traditionally defensive sectors pacing gains. The Utility sector jumped 13.1% to record its best day since 2008, while Consumer Staples also outperformed, with Clorox (CLX +13.27%) and Walmart (WMT +11.71%) posting big gains. Energy was the lone sector to gain less than 1% as WTI crude declined 5.9% to $27.02/barrel. Elsewhere, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN +11.54%) rose following the announcement that it has identified antibodies to treat COVID-19. Amazon (AMZN +7.03%) rose after announcing it will prioritize essential household and medical supplies with products coming into fulfillment centers for shipment.
On the data front, retail sales for February dipped 0.5%, disappointing consensus expectations for a 0.2% uptick. The declines were broad, with 9 out of the 13 categories posting a pullback. Meanwhile, treasuries sold off, with the yield on the 10-year note spiking 35 basis point to 1.09%.
