Nasdaq Composite New High Signals Uptrend for Major Indices
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices all settled at or near session highs, which marked a fresh all-time closing high for the Nasdaq Composite. The S&P 500 settled within ten points of its all-time high close. The Russell 2000 continued its recent outperformance, gaining +1.2%.Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth clearly had a positive bias as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 60 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 59 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are now in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) based upon the new high close by the Nasdaq Composite Index.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched -0.3% off its all-time high.
The April Producer Price Index (PPI) headline inflation readings were hotter-than-expected, up 0.5% month-over-month for total PPI and core PPI versus an expected 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively. Sizable downward revisions to last month's readings kept the market response more mixed rather than negative. Fed Chair Powell called the data "quite mixed" in a moderated discussion at the Foreign Bankers' Association's annual meeting. The 10-yr note yield settled the session at 4.45%.
Another meme stock rally saw GameStop (GME +60.10%) and AMC Entertainment (AMC +31.98%) both trade up more than 100% at one point before profit-taking activity. Meanwhile, Dow component Home Depot (HD -0.13%) was slightly lower after its earnings report revealed disappointing sales activity at the home improvement retailer.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors settled with gains led by information technology (+0.9%) and real estate (+0.7%). The consumer staples sector was the worst performer, logging a 0.2% gain.

Stubbornly Held Ground and Posted Quiet Gain for Best-Ever Close
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
U.S. Lime & Minerals (USLM +$6.29 or +1.71% to $375.07) has been consolidating in a tight range near its all-time high following a recent streak of 9 consecutive volume-driven gains. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($308) coincides with prior highs defining important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. During the ongoing market correction (M criteria) greater caution is important for all investors. New buying efforts should be avoided until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.
Bullish action came after it reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +31% on +7% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. USLM has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
USLM was highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report (read here) and last shown in this FSU section on 4/26/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Trading in Tight Range Near High". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 192 in Mar '23 to 228 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. |
