Major Averages Rose With Greater Leadership and Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 climbed 1.2%, closing within 3.5% of its January 3 record. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.8%, while the Dow jumped 338 points. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying efforts. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by an 8-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 42 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the total of 21 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The recently noted follow-through day confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain backed by higher volume while rebounding above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. That helped its technical stance and improved the overall market outlook.
U.S. stocks finished firmly higher on Tuesday, extending upward momentum into a fourth session. Optimism over today’s ceasefire talks between top Russian and Ukrainian officials was cited as supporting sentiment. Moscow said it would “drastically reduce” military activity near Kyiv, while Ukrainian officials signaled openness to a neutral status as part of a peace deal. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 0.9% to $105.00/barrel.
Still, concerns over the economic growth outlook lingered as some portions of the U.S. Treasury yield curve remained inverted. Notably, the yield on the two-year note briefly surpassed the 10-year note yield for the first time since August 2019. The longer-dated yield settled down six basis points (0.06%) to 2.39%, while the more Fed-sensitive yield advanced three basis points (0.03%) to 2.36%.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Energy the lone laggard. Growth-related shares outperformed, with Apple Inc. rising for an 11th consecutive session, notching its longest winning stretch since 2003 and turning positive year-to-date. In corporate news, Nielsen Holdings PLC surged more than 20% after being bought by a private-equity consortium for $16 billion.
On the data front, the Conference Board’s gauge of consumer confidence improved to 107.2 in March from the prior month’s downwardly revised 105.7 print, which had been the lowest reading in a year. Separately, the Jobs Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) revealed available positions eased slightly in February to nearly 11.3 million.

Tech, Financial, Retail, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.27%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.90%) posted influential gains along with the Retail Index ($RLX +0.98%). The tech sector had a positive bias with unanimous gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.21%), Biotech Index ($BTK +2.46%), and Networking Index ($NWX +1.44%). The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.70%) posted a solid gain and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.85%) also rose, but the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.31%) ended slightly lower on the session. PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.90%) halted its slide soon after undercutting its December low. It remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) and it has recently been meeting resistance near its 200 DMA line. Longtime readers know that the Financial indexes are very important leading indicators. Near-term improvement above both of those moving averages would be a reassuring sign, but any further deterioration would be a worrisome for the current market rally.
