Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Nasdaq Composite Index (+0.7%) logged another record closing high while the S&P 500 Index (+0.2%) and Russell 2000 Index (+0.8%) also posted gains, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.5%) fell nearly 200 points. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 97 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 expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average had a "negative reversal" and closed near the session low with a loss after hitting a new all-time high.

NVIDIA (NVDA +2.49%) was a winning standout as several analysts raised their price targets in front of NVDA's earnings report due Wednesday afternoon. Microsoft (MSFT +1.22%) rose after introducing Co Pilot+ PCs and in front of its Build Developers Conference starting Tuesday.

The S&P 500 information technology sector (+1.3%) led while the heavily-weighted financial sector fell -1.2%. A sizable loss in JP Morgan Chase (JPM -4.50%) was in response to CEO Dimon saying at its Investor Day that the company is not expecting to buy back a lot of stock at these levels. The consumer discretionary sector (-0.7%) was the next worst performer due to losses in Amazon.com (AMZN -0.63%) and Tesla (TSLA -1.41%).

The 10-yr note yield settled two basis points higher at 4.44% and the 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.84%. There was no US economic data of note on Monday and none due Tuesday. The Minutes from the April 30-May 1 FOMC meeting and the Existing Home Sales report for April will be released Wednesday. The weekly jobless claims report and New Home Sales report for April will be released Thursday, and the Durable Goods Orders for April will be released Friday.
