Major Indices Ended Higher With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each rose 0.3%, enough to help the two indexes string together a three-week winning streak for the first time since November 5. The broad benchmark ended the week less than 0.1% higher, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq capped a 0.7% weekly gain. The Dow added 139 points, paring its five-day decline to just 0.1%. All three major averages just weathered their worst quarterly performance since 2020 despite robust monthly gains. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 46 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 Nasdaq Composite Index finished higher on Friday with lighter volume. It met resistance recently near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Subsequent gains above the 200 DMA line would be a reassuring bullish sign, meanwhile, any deterioration becomes increasing worrisome for the market outlook.

U.S. stocks turned higher on Friday despite some concerns on Wall Street around an inverting Treasury yield curve following an upbeat monthly jobs report. On the data front, non-farm payrolls increased by 431,000 in March, modestly below estimates of a 490,000 gain, though headline numbers from the prior two months were upwardly revised. The unemployment rate fell to a fresh pandemic-low of 3.6%, while wage inflation jumped a larger-than-projected 5.6% year-over-year. Separately, an update from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed U.S. manufacturing growth unexpectedly decelerated in March. The prices paid component reflected the largest monthly increase since December 2020.

Shorter-term Treasuries were pressured as the solid jobs report bolstered the case for more aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield spiked 14 basis points (0.14%) to 2.45%, eclipsing the yields on both the longer-dated 10-year note and 30-year bond (2.37% and 2.42%, respectively). In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude suffered its worst week since April 2020, sliding 12.6% to $99.54/barrel.
