Nasdaq Rose While Dow and S&P 500 Index Reversed to Close Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Both the Dow and S&P 500 reversed early session gains to close lower, down 218 points and 0.7%, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the downtrend, adding 0.5%. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the 25 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and 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 the latest improvement is a reassuring sign. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has been consolidating after recently rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, still below its 200 DMA line.
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday as investors weighed bleak employment data against optimism that U.S. business activity would start to pick up as more states eased lockdown restrictions. President Trump noted that the coronavirus task force would continue operating, though its focus would shift to reopening efforts and developing a vaccine.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with Utilities leading decliners, sliding 3.5%. The Technology group continued its recent outperformance, adding 0.7%. In earnings, shares of Disney (DIS -0.18%) edged lower on mixed results that included eliminating its July dividend, though the entertainment conglomerate mentioned plans to reopen its Shanghai Disneyland park next week to a limited number of guests. Elsewhere, General Motors (GM +2.98%) rose after its quarterly profit more than doubled consensus expectations, while CVS Health (CVS -1.31%) fell despite reiterating its full-year guidance.
Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis points to 0.70%, near its highest level in three weeks. Government bonds were pressured after the U.S. Treasury Department announced plans to significantly increase its quarterly long-term debt issuance, including a 20-year bond sale, to help fund a swelling federal deficit. On the data front, the ADP revealed private sector employment fell by a record 20.2 million in April. In commodities, WTI crude was down more than 2%, snapping a five-day winning streak. Meanwhile, a gauge of the U.S. dollar climbed the most in three weeks, rising 0.5%. |

Retail, Semiconductor, and Biotech Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.08%) and Biotech Index ($BTK +0.66%) rose but the Networking Index ($NWX -1.71%) fell. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.64%) notched a modest gain. The Bank Index ($BKX -1.97%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.97%) both lost ground. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.70%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.85%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.87%) each lost ground. PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.70%) recently met resistance near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Prior Highs Acted as Support Following Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netflix Inc (NFLX +$9.58 or +2.26% to $434.26) posted a gain with light volume today. It is trading above the "max buy" level with recent gains lacking great volume conviction. Prior highs in the $393 area acted as support during the consolidation following its recent breakout. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above the prior high or pivot point. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported earnings +107% on +28% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). NFLX finished strong after it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/20 mid-day report (read here). The gain above the pivot point was backed by +55% above average volume and triggered a technical buy signal. NFLX was last shown in this FSU section on 4/21/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Netflix Reported Another Strong Quarter After Rally From Base". A previously noted downturn in FY '15 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by very strong growth. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,534 in Mar '17 to 2,373 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The company has 422.2 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can make it a less likely sprinter. It has a Timeliness rating of A, a Sponsorship rating of B, and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B+. Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
