Major Indices Rose After Mnuchin Talked Down Tariffs

Stocks finished firmly higher Monday. The Dow added 298 points to 25013. The S&P 500 climbed 20 points to 2733 while the Nasdaq Composite gained 39 points to 7394. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 101 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 solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and 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. ThFeatured Stocks Pageprovides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -4.8% off its record high hit on January 26th. It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and recently rebounded above its 50 DMA line.

The major averages advanced as easing geopolitical tensions provided a tailwind to markets. Over the weekend, U.S. Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated that the U.S. and China would be “putting the trade war on hold,” as neither side plans to implement tariffs until they are able to negotiate a framework. China also agreed to purchase more American goods to help close the U.S. trade deficit. On the data front, the lone update today revealed April’s Chicago Fed National activity index came in at 0.34, slightly above expectations of 0.30.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Industrials paced gains as Boeing (BA +3.61%) and Caterpillar (CAT +2.06%) rose. Technology shares are also outperformed with Micron Technology (MU +3.95%) after raising forward guidance above analyst estimates. In M&A news, General Electric (GE +1.94%) after announcing plans to merge its transportation unit with Wabtec (WAB +3.53%) for $11.1 billion. MB Financial (MBFI +12.9%) rose after agreeing to be acquired by Fifth Third Bancorp (FTB -7.9%).

Treasuries were mixed with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note flat at 3.06%. In commodities, WTI crude surged 1.6% to $72.43/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.1% to $1292.00/ounce, amid a weaker dollar.

Hit New High Today After Orderly Consolidation

Old Second Bancorp Inc (OSBC +$0.30 or +2.00% to $15.30) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on prior highs plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new 52-week high with today's big gain backed by +60% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. It found support above its 200 DMA line during its long and orderly consolidation. 

Recently it reported earnings +69% on +15% sales revenues for the Mar '18 quarter, marking its 5th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (A criteria).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 166 in Jun '17 to 175 in Mar '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its  current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under modest accumulation over the past 50 days. There are only 28.5 million shares (S criteria) in the public float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Leadership in other Bank stocks is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. .

Y - Volume totals still have been below average while wedging into new all-time high territory. Gains above a stock's pivot point must have at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($64.56) defines near term support above the recent low ($59.50 on 4/03/18).

Y - New pivot point is cited based on its 3/21/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for a new high may trigger a technical buy signal. Volume totals have been cooling while consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($28.57). Prior lows in the $26-27 area define important near term support. Recently reported earnings +63% on +42% for the Mar '18 quarter.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 4/18/18 high after forming a "double bottom" base. A gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new technical buy signal. Found prompt support near its 200 DMA line and prior lows in the $71-72 area. Rebound above the 50 DMA line with volume-driven gains helped its outlook improve. Fundamentals remain strong.
