Breadth Negative as Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 (-0.7%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (-1.0%), Russell 2000 (-1.8%) and the Nasdaq Composite (-1.0%) each fell. Volume reported was mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 23 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 67 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted and but still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small cap Index pulled back near its 50-day moving average immediately after touching a new 2024 high.
Outsized losses in health insurers contributed to the negative bias. Humana (HUM -13.4%), CVS Health (CVS -7.2%), and UnitedHealth (UNH -6.4%) were the worst performing stocks in the S&P 500. Retailers were another weak area in the market. Disappointing quarterly results from PVH Corp (PVH -22.2%) stirred uncertainty about consumer spending.
The S&P 500 health care (-1.6%) and consumer discretionary (-1.3%) sectors were the worst performers. The energy sector outperformed, jumping 1.3%. This action was related to commodity prices. WTI crude oil futures climbed 1.7% to $85.18/bbl amid geopolitical tension in the Middle East. The 10-yr note yield rose another four basis points today to 4.37%.
