Stocks Come Under Widespread Pressure Raising Concerns

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 344 points (1%) while the Nasdaq Composite slid 2% and the benchmark S&P 500 dropped 1.6%. Volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 20 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 18 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.The major indices are in an uptrend under pressure (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is pulling back after challenging its February 2, 2023 high.

All sectors finished in negative territory as U.S. equities moved lower Tuesday amid renewed banking jitters. Bank earnings have been under scrutiny following last month’s banking crisis, and recent earnings results have reignited concerns over the Financials sector. Investors were also looking ahead to Big Tech earnings and key economic data.

On the data front, the Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index and the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Index both unexpectedly climbed in February. Meanwhile, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index rose for the first time in seven months as housing demand outstripped supply. New home sales jumped 9.6% month-over-month in March, while the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index fell more than expected to 101.3 in April. The report indicated tighter credit supply played a role in the declining print. Finally, the Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed) Manufacturing Index slid further into negative territory, coming in at -10 in April.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down 12 basis points (0.12%) to 3.39%, while the 30-year bond yield shed seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.65%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, fell 21 basis points (0.21%) to 3.93%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 2.1% to $77.13 /barrel as uncertainty over the economic outlook outweighed optimism over demand from China.

Financial, Tech, Energy, and Retail Indexes Slumped

Losses from the Bank Index ($BKX -3.45%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.43%), and Retail Index ($RLX -2.65%) weighed on the major averages as each fell by more than 2%.  Energy-linked groups slumped as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.82%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.22%) both suffered big losses. The tech sector also had a clearly negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.37%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.66%), and Biotech Index ($BTK -2.16%) ended unanimously lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.39%) was a standout as it suffered a relatively small loss on the widely negative session.

www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.37%) is slumping badly below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward the prior low.

Gap Up Following Earnings Triggered Technical Buy Signal

Hubbell (HUBB +$27.02 or +11.63% to $259.41) was highlighted yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/06/23 high after a 4-month double bottom base. It gapped up today rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($240) with a considerable volume-driven gain hitting a new 52-week high. The bullish action triggered a technical buy signal.

Strong action came after it reported strong Mar '23 quarterly earnings +70% on +11% sales revenues over the year-ago period. Its Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '22 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic. It has a 93 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates..

The high-ranked Electrical-Power/Equipmt firm has 53.6 million shares outstanding (S sctiteria) which can contribute to greater proice volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 805 in Jun '22 to 1,283 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a B Timeliness Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
