Major Indices Fell With Higher Volume Totals on the Exchanges
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished lower Tuesday. The Dow declined 193 points to 24706, while the S&P 500 lost 18 points to 2711. The Nasdaq Composite gave back 59 points to 7351. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating distributional pressure. Decliners outnumbered advancers by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 71 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. The major indices (M criteria) remain in a confirmed rally with healthy leadership (stocks hitting new highs) continuing to underpin the market. New buying efforts are justified only when all key criteria of the fact-based investment system are satisfied. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index encountered mild distributional pressure after rebounding above its April high. The benchmark index is now perched -5.9% off its record high hit January 26th. In recent months it has repeatedly tested support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

The major averages declined as Treasury prices weakened along the curve. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note surged seven basis points to 3.07%, the highest level since 2011. On the data front, April retail sales increased 0.3%, matching consensus forecasts, while March’s reading was revised upwards to a 0.8% increase. In a separate release the New York Fed revealed manufacturing activity in the region jumped more than expected in May. In central bank news, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan stated U.S. inflation is rising towards the Fed's target of 2% but "not running away from us".

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors were lower with Healthcare down the most. Shares of Agilent Technologies (A -9.70%) gapped down after the medical device maker provided disappointing forward guidance. Technology shares also underperformed as NVIDIA (NVDA -3.84%) fell. In other earnings news, Home Depot (HD -1.62%) was lower after the home improvement retailer revealed weaker than expected first quarter sales figures.

In commodities, WTI crude advanced 0.3% to $71.16/barrel. COMEX gold retreated 2.0% to $1291.90/ounce and finished below $1300.00 for the first this year. The U.S. dollar index climbed 0.7% against its peers and is at its strongest level of 2018.

New Volume-Driven Breakout For All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

China Lodging Group Ads (HTHT +15.04 or +9.74% to $169.50) posted a gain today backed by +323% above average volume triggering a new technical buy signal. It was highlighted again in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 1/22/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here) while noted - "A strong finish above the pivot point may clinch a convincing new technical buy signal. A weak finish in the lower third of its intra-day range would be indicative of distributional pressure which may be likely near its prior highs. Found support at its 200 DMA line and rebounded after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/27/18."

It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/26/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Technical Damage and Slump Nears 200-Day Moving Average". It gradually repaired the damage after a big gap down on 3/14/18 triggered a technical sell signal.

HTHT traded up as much as +340% since first featured in yellow in the 7/13/16 mid-day report (read here). The number of top-rated funds owing its shares rose from 87 in Sep '15 to 279 in Mar '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Currently the high-ranked Leisure- Lodging firm has an B Timeliness rating, and an A Sponsorship rating. Its small supply of 27.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Fundamentals remain strong, as it reported earnings +79% on +42% sales revenues for the Mar '18 quarter versus the year ago period, well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Sequential quarterly comparisons have shown encouraging sales revenues growth acceleration, up +5% +18%, +34%, +42%, and +42% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '17, and Mar '18 quarter, respectively.
