Major Indices Were Mixed as Investors Reacted to Earnings Reports
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 249 points, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 1.2%. Volume totals reported were mixed, slightly lower than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE, but the mix was nearly even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 69 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 39 on the prior session. New 52-week highs expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, however, new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has come under pressure (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has been sputtering below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.
U.S. stocks finished mixed on Wednesday as investors assessed key corporate earnings reports. There was a big gap down and considerable slump in Netflix Inc. (NFLX -35.12%) after the streaming giant unexpectedly posted its first loss in subscribers in a decade and became the subject of multiple analyst downgrades as the company projected another sizable decline of its user base for the current quarter. In other earnings, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM +7.10%) rose after topping consensus profit and revenue estimates amid strength in its hybrid-cloud offerings. Elsewhere, Procter & Gamble Co. (PG +2.66%) rose after posting its largest year-over-year advance in sales in 20 years.
Treasuries strengthened as some on Wall Street suggested inflation may be peaking, with monetary policy tightening expectations overdone. Additionally, robust demand for the 20-year bond auction provided downward pressure on yields. The 10-year note yield fell nine basis points (0.09%) to 2.84% after climbing as high as 2.98% in overnight trading--a peak not seen since December 2018. Notably, 10-year real yields (which strip out the effects of inflation) briefly turned positive for the first time since March 2020.
In central bank news, the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book revealed economic activity expanded at a moderate pace from mid-February to early April despite businesses contending with ongoing labor shortages and elevated inflation. On the data front, MBA mortgage applications fell for a sixth consecutive week (-5%) as mortgage rates surged to a 12-year peak. Separately, existing home sales declined a smaller-than-projected 2.7% in March, while home prices climbed to record last month.
