Major Indices Encounter Pressure and Close Quarter With Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 fell 1.6% for the day, and snapped a seven-quarter winning streak with a 5% decline during the January-March period. The Dow slumped 550 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.5%, with both benchmarks extending their quarterly losses to 4.6% and 9.1%, respectively. Volume totals reported were mixed, highter than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 35 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE, but again new lows outnumbered new highs on 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.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended lower Thursday as a loss on higher volume made it slump back below the 200-day moving average (DMA) line, hurting its technical stance. In recent months since peaking, the chart shows a worrisome series of lower highs and lower lows. Subsequent gains above the 200 DMA and above the February high would be a reassuring bullish sign, meanwhile, any further deterioration becomes increasing worrisome for the market outlook.

U.S. equities finished firmly lower on Thursday, capping their worst quarterly performance since 2020. Still, all three major averages notched their first monthly gains of 2022, with the Dow climbing 2.3% in March, the S&P 500 rising 3.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite adding 3.4%.

Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down one basis point (0.01%) to 2.33%. The benchmark yield declined for a fourth straight session, though posted its largest quarterly gain since 1994 having jumped 0.82% year-to-date. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude retreated 6.7% to $100.63/barrel after the Biden administration announced plans to release as much as 180 million barrels of oil from U.S. reserves over the coming months in an effort to ease surging gasoline prices.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with Financials leading laggards. In earnings, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA -5.67%) fell as a stagnant full-year outlook overshadowed otherwise positive quarterly results. Elsewhere, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD -8.27%) and Dell Technologies (DELL -7.60%) each fell following separate analyst downgrades.

On the data front, the core PCE (personal consumption expenditures) deflator climbed 5.4% year-over-year, posting the biggest jump since 1983 after accelerating from the January’s 5.2% annual increase. Separately, personal income climbed 0.5% last month, while personal spending rose a smaller-than-forecasted 0.2% during the period after surging 2.7% in January.
