Major Averages Were Mixed and Indecisive Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 55 points (0.2%), while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.2% and the S&P 500 added 0.1%. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 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 30 on the prior session. New 52-week highs narrowly outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and but new lows still outnumbered new highs 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average found prompt support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on the latest pullback.

Seven of 11 sectors finished in negative territory while the major averages were mixed on Monday. Investors assessed the future course of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy after last week’s meeting and ahead of the key inflation data due later this week. Market participants remained optimistic the Fed may opt to pause their rate hiking path at their meeting in June. Bank shares climbed today as they rebounded from oversold territory, though they gave up some of their gains by the afternoon. Meanwhile, the Fed’s Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (the Fed survey) signaled a tightening credit market and noted demand for business loans was abating in the first quarter.

On the data front today, a final March update on wholesale inventories was unexpectedly revised lower to show, on a monthly basis, there was no change in inventories. Treasuries weakened following the Fed survey, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up nine basis points (0.09%) to 3.52%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.83%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, advanced 10 basis points (0.10%) to 4.01%. Over in the commodity pits, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 2.1% to $72.84/barrel amid easing recession concerns following Friday’s robust jobs report.

Semiconductor Index Edged Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.27%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.26%) both edged lower whle the Retail Index ($RLX -0.01%) finished flat The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.56%) edged higher while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.45%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -0.69%) both edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.31%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.26%) both edged lower while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.08%) finished flat.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.56%) is still below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Subsequent gains above that important short-term average would bode well for chip stocks and would also be an encouraging sign for the broader market outlook.

Most Recent Note - 5/8/2023 7:38:49 PM Y - Pulled back today with lighter volume after hitting a new high on the prior session with a volume-driven gain. Previously noted - "Bullish action came after it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +66% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Powered above its 50 DMA line ($140.70) with a considerable gain backed by twice its average volume. Its color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/23 high plus 10 cents. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $152 level. A gain and new high backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal." >>> FEATURED STOCK ARTICLE : Consolidating Near 50-Day Moving Average and -10.5% off High - 4/21/2023 \| View all notes \| Set NEW NOTE alert \| Company Profile \| SEC News \| Chart \| Request a new note C A S I
