Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 316 points (1%), while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.6%. The S&P 500 advanced 1.3%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked companies from theLeaders Listthat hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 7 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. 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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid gain on Day 7 of the rally attempt, but the reported volume total was lighter than the prior session. Disciplined investors are watching for a solid follow-through day to confirm a new uptrend. A closer look at the volume statistics versus the prior session showed a great increase in volume behind advancing issues and much lighter volume behind declining issues, a reassuring sign overall, despite the lower total.

Eight of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities rose on Tuesday. Investors continued to shake off the impacts of the recent turmoil in the banking sector. This morning, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen indicated the government is equipped to provide further deposit guarantees if the crisis worsens. Stocks jumped on the news, led higher by regional bank shares.

On the data front, existing home sales surged 14.5% month-over-month in February - its biggest jump since mid-2020 - as the selling price of previously owned homes fell for the first time in 11 years. In the central bank space, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) March monetary policy meeting began, and analysts anticipate they will announce a 25-basis point (0.25%) interest rate hike tomorrow. Investors will parse through the release and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting comments for any clues as to the future course of monetary policy.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up ten basis points (0.10%) to 3.59%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed five basis points (0.05%) to 3.72%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, advanced 22 basis points (0.22%) to 4.17%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 2.5% to $69.33/barrel amid easing concerns about the global banking sector.

Found Encouraging Support Near 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK +$0.33 or +1.40% to $23.94) has recently been sputtering below the noted pivot point and testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($23.38). More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Broader market weakness (M criteria) has been noted as a "correction" that has raised concerns.

Subsequent gains above the pivot point and for new highs backed by at least +40% above average volume may help provide a confirming technical buy signal. It was last shown in this FSU section on 2/27/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Quietly Lingering Near High With Strong Fundamentals".

GPK was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the 10/25/22 mid-day report (read here). GPK has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +74% on +20% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).

The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 122nd on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a C- (39) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 754 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.
