Major Averages Rose With Better Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were higher on Monday. The Dow added 106 points to 18004. The S&P 500 gained 13 points at 2094. The Nasdaq Composite was up 21 points at 4960. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the total of 23 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average chart shows it rallying above prior highs and toward its record high.
The DOW, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite rallied further above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. This week's expansion in new highs is a reassuring sign because any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs). The Featured Stocks Page includes current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts. The Dow finished above 18,000 for the first time since July as earnings reports weighed against a flurry of news on the oil front. Crude prices tumbled overnight after producer nations failed to reach an accord to freeze output in Qatar on Sunday. But the commodity tempered losses thanks to reports of falling production in Kuwait due to a worker strike. In Fed news, New York President William Dudley called U.S. economic conditions “mostly favorable” and mentioned an improving outlook in Europe. All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 advanced on the session. Energy shares paced the gains along with Health Care stocks. In earnings, Hasbro (HAS +5.8%) as the toymaker’s “Star Wars” brand propelled earnings and revenue well above analyst expectations. Disney (DIS +2.9%) rose on the strength of a larger-than-expected opening weekend for “The Jungle Book”. Netflix (NFLX -2.8%) fell ahead of its quarterly release after the close. Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note losing 4/32 to yield 1.77%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 1.2% at $39.89/barrel while COMEX gold was little changed at $1233.60/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar finished lower with weakness against the euro. |
