Leadership Improved and Breadth Positive as Indices Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 272 points (0.8%), while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7% and the S&P 500 advanced 0.8%. For the week, the major averages finished in positive territory. For April, the Dow and S&P 500 notched monthly gains while the Nasdaq Composite finished just above the flat line. Volume totals reported on Friday were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 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 20 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted but still outnumbered 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 rebounded toward its 2023 high with 2 solid gains after finding support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Nine of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities rose on Friday. Investors digested a slew of corporate earnings and looked ahead to next week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Deflator, which is the Fed’s preferred proxy for inflation, eased from February’s print to come in at 4.2% year-over-year in March. On a monthly basis, the PCE Deflator eased from 0.3% month-over-month to 0.1%. Meanwhile, the core PCE Deflator (which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices) came in at 4.6% year-over-year and 0.3% month-over-month. The real personal spending portion of the report was flat, suggesting consumers are being more cautious and are cutting back on purchases. The Employment Cost Index, the Fed’s preferred measure of wage inflation, accelerated in the first quarter.

The latest inflation data has added support to the expectation the Fed will raise interest rates at their meeting next week. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.44%, while the 30-year bond yield shed eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.67%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, fell three basis points (0.03%) to 4.04%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 2.6% to $76.67/barrel amid signs of rising domestic demand.

50-Day Moving Average Line Acted as Recent Resistance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Sterling Infrastructure (STRL +$0.66 or +1.82% to $36.92) slumped again after recently meeting resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($37.74). A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Keep in mind it is due to report Mar '23 quarterly results on 5/01/23. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

STRL was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/08/22 high plus 10 cents in the 12/14/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last covered in detail on 4/05/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven 50-Day Moving Average Violation Triggered Sell Signal".

STRL hails from the Building - Heavy Construction industry group which is currently ranked 88th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +74% on 26% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 6th quarterly comparison at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady since FY '17.

The company has a small supply of only 30.6 million shares outstanding. That can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 337 in Dec '21 to 377 in Mar '23. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
