Breadth Negative as Major Averages Face Widespread Pressure Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower on Wednesday. The Dow was down 99 points to 17651. The S&P 500 lost 10 points to 2052 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 37 points to 4725. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 11 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 12 on the prior session. The new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is slumping below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.
The market's confirmed uptrend (M criteria) has come under pressure recently while the DOW and S&P 500 Index are now consolidating just above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. Sustained rallies require a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs), but leadership has again been waning. Very few issues have appeared to meet the fact-based investment system's guidelines or make meaningful headway in recent weeks. 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 major averages declined for a second day as investors weighed a flurry of updates on the U.S. economy. ADP employment numbers showed that the labor market added 156,000 jobs in March, well below the expected 195,000. Service sector activity in April was revised to show a four-month high reading of 52.8 from the previously reported 52.1. In a separate release, durable goods orders rose 0.8% last month, in-line with expectations. Another report revealed factory orders increased 1.1%, besting projections. Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the session. Industrials shares led the losses with American Airlines (AAL -3.96%) fell amid slower economic growth in Latin America. In Energy, Marathon Oil (MRO -4.85%) fell ahead of its scheduled release after the bell. Priceline (PCLN -7.50%) fell as profits fell short of Wall Street estimates and quarterly guidance disappointed. CBS (CBS +1.56%) rose after the network posted revenue above forecasts citing stronger ads growth. Treasuries moved higher along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note adding 7/32 to 1.77%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 0.6% to $43.90/barrel. COMEX gold was down 0.8% to $1281.70/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar strengthened against the yen. |
