Mixed Market Still Underpinned by Healthy Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow shed 79 points (0.2%), while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 finished little changed. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by an even narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 36 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 35 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows still solidly outnumbered new highs 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched -2.3% off its December 2022 high.

U.S. equities finished mixed in choppy trading as investors assessed the latest earnings releases and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Beige Book. In corporate news, Morgan Stanley (MS +0.67%) inched higher after it released better-than-expected first-quarter results with both earnings and revenue topping analyst expectations. The bank noted strong performances from equities and fixed income trading units as a driver behind the results. They also indicated they saw substantial growth in wealth management, with its revenue increasing 11% as compared to last year.

On the data front, Mortgage Bankers’ Association (MBA) mortgage applications fell in the latest week as borrowing costs remain stubbornly high. In the central bank space, the Fed’s Beige Book garnered attention as investors looked for insights into the economy. The report noted March’s banking crisis weighed on financial activity, particularly in the San Francisco and New York areas. It also noted there was some pullback in commercial real estate. Shorter-dated Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 3.59%, while the 30-year bond yield was little changed at 3.78%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, advanced five basis points (0.05%) to 4.26%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 2.2% to $79.10/barrel amid mixed global economic data and a stronger U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) weekly report showed U.S. crude inventories fell more than expected last week while gasoline stockpiles unexpectedly climbed.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +1.69%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.79%), and Retail Index ($RLX +0.87%) each posted gains that had a positive influence on the major averages.

Commodity-linked groups also had a negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.04%) suffered a large loss while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.35%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.83%) both suffered smaller losses.

Wedged to a New High Close Above "Max Buy" Level
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH +$0.80 or +0.56% to $144.00) posted a gain with near-average volume today for a best-ever close. Its color code was changed to gren after wedging above its "max buy" level. It found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($135.84) during recent consolidations. Below that important short-term average, the recent low ($129.93 on 3/24/23) defines the next important support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

CLH was highlighted in yellow in the 3/10/23 mid-day report (read here) as it was noted that a valid secondary buy point exists up to 5% above the recent high following a pullback to support at the 10 WMA line after an earlier breakout. It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/29/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finding Support Recently at 50-Day Moving Average Line".

CLH has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +62% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

There are only 54.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 724 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.o is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A , a Sponsorship Rating of C, abd an Accumulation Distribution Rating of B.

Hit a new all-time high with today's early gain, but encountered distributional pressure.
