Major Averages Had a Slightly Positive Bias
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 101 points (0.3%) while the Nasdaq Composite hovered around the flat line and the S&P 500 increased 0.1%. Volume totals reported were higher 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 by 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were 13 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is quietly consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after rebounding toward its February high in recent weeks.

Six of the eleven sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities finished mixed on Monday. Recessionary fears rose ahead of this week’s inflation data. March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Purchaser Price Index (PPI) are slated to be released on Wednesday and Thursday this week, allowing investors more insight into the state of the economy ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next meeting on May 3. Many analysts are already estimating another potential rate hike after Friday’s strong employment data.

On the data front, February’s finalized wholesale inventories was unexpectedly revised a tick lower to 0.1%, compared to January’s decline of 0.5%. In corporate news, investors can expect the first batch of large banks to report first quarter financials throughout the week.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up twelve basis points (0.12%) to 3.42%, while the 30-year bond yield increased eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.63%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, gained 19 basis points (0.19%) to 4.01%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 1.2% to $79.77/barrel amid weakening demand. According to analysts, spending on oil exploration is forecasted to rise above pre-pandemic levels this year. It is estimated that the companies representing approximately 70% of the global output may spend roughly $376 billion in exploration this year, up 11% from 2022. In the metals complex, gold is down 1.1% amid a stronger greenback.

Quietly Consolidating Just Below "Max Buy" Level
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK -$0.03 or -0.12% to $25.03) is quietly consolidating just below its "max buy" level and just -2.3% below its all-time high. Recent gains lacked great volume conviction. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($24.04) and recent low ($22.99 on 3/16/23) define important near-term support to watch.

GPK 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". It 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). It has an 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 138th on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a D+ (31) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 784 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
