Major Indices Overcame Early Weakness to Finish Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow reversed a 200-point midday decline to finish 26 points higher. The S&P 500 snapped a two day losing streak, advancing 0.4%. The Tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.2%. Breadth was fairly even as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE, meanwhile advancers led decliners by a 8-7 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE while new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so waning leadership of late is becoming a concern.

Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.63%. In commodities, COMEX gold rose 0.6% to $1,712.00/ounce.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory. Energy stocks paced the gains, with Exxon Mobil (XOM +4.03%) as WTI crude added advanced for a fourth consecutive session.
