Less Leadership as Indicies Inched Higher for Quiet Gains

Volume was reported much lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, down from Friday's totals which were inflated by options expirations. Advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 50 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has been rebounding toward prior highs and a multi-month downward trendline.

Further gains have helped the DOW and the S&P 500 Index both rally above their downward sloping 200-day moving average lines. The improvement for the major averages (M criteria) was backed by an expansion in healthy leadership (new highs), another encouraging sign for the current confirmed rally. The Featured Stocks Page includes most current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts.

The major averages inched higher amid a flurry of M&A announcements. Starwood Hotels (HOT +4.49%) rose on news the company accepted a $13.6 billion cash-and-stock takeover offer from Marriot (MAR -1.18%). Shares of Valspar (VAL +23.13%) surged after agreeing to a $9.3 billion cash offer from rival paint maker Sherwin Williams (SHW -5.33%). Markit (MRKT +13.63%) and IHS (IHS +10.28%) both rose as the data providers agreed to a merger.

In economic news, new home sales fell by 7.1% in February, which was more than the 3% decline projected by analysts. In a separate release, business activity in the Chicago Fed region unexpectedly contracted in February.

Six out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session in posit ive territory. Telecom and Healthcare shares outperformed while Energy stocks lagged. Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +7.41%) rose to pace the gains in healthcare after the drug maker announced it was replacing its CEO.

Treasuries retreated along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note losing 13/32 to yield 1.92%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude climbed 1.2% to $39.91/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.8% to $1244.50/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar gained modestly on the yen and euro.
