Nasdaq Composite Hits 2023 High and Leads Major Indices Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 30 points (-0.1%), while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1% and the S&P 500 added 0.5%. Volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by more than 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 40 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 34 on the prior session. However, new 52-week lows still outnumbered new highs 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 Nasdaq Composite Index found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line recently and hit a new 2023 high with Wednesday's solid gain.

Seven of 11 sectors finished in positive territory amid a rally in Technology shares and as investors digested April’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. On a monthly basis, headline CPI accelerated, coming in at 0.4% versus March’s 0.1% monthly gain. On an annual basis, CPI came in at 4.9%, easing from March’s 5% print. Core CPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices, came in at 0.4% month-over-month and 5.5% year-over-year. The report indicated housing costs, which make up a large portion of the CPI, led price gains.

Elsewhere on the data front, Mortgage Bankers’ Association (MBA) mortgage applications climbed 6.3% in the week ended May 5 as mortgage rates eased. The MBA’s report also showed refinancing applications rose for the third-straight week to notch their highest level since September. Treasuries strengthened following the CPI report, 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 five basis points (0.05%) to 3.79%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, slid 12 basis points (0.12%) to 3.91%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 1.3% to $72.76 /barrel amid signs of easing demand. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported domestic crude stockpiles rose by around 3 million barrels last week.

Retail and Tech Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +1.54%) posted a solid gain but the Bank Index ($BKX -1.26%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.23%) both lost ground and created a drag on the major indices. The tec sectoir had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.00%), Biotech Index ($BTK +0.98%), and Networking Index ($NWX +0.35%) posted unanimous gains. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.19%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.64%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.83%) each lost ground.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.35%) is sputtering at its 2023 low as its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines converge in a bearish "death cross".

Showed Resilience Near 50-Day Moving Average Following Sell-Off
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH +$0.16 or +0.12% to $139.20) posted a 3rd consecutive gain with below-average volume today. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($138.24) after a big loss last week triggered a technical sell signal. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns. CLH reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +64% on +12% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Fundamentals remain strong.

CLH was highlighted in yellow in the 3/10/23 mid-day report (read here) as it was noted that a valid secondary buy point exists up to 5% above the recent high following a pullback to support at the 10 WMA line after an earlier breakout. It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/19/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Wedged to a New High Close Above 'Max Buy' Level".

CLH has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +62% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

There are only 54.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 742 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A , a Sponsorship Rating of C, abd an Accumulation Distribution Rating of C+.

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.

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
