Breadth Negative as Major Indices Ended Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite Index fell -0.2%, the S&P 500 Index logged a -0.3% loss, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed -0.5% lower. Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by about a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 64 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page matching the total of 64 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still 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 Nasdaq Composite Index hit a new all-time high but reversed into the red for a loss with higher volume.
Selling picked up after ther release of the April 30-May 1 FOMC meeting minutes. Nothing was surprising and they largely echoed Fed commentary since the meeting, however, some attention was drawn to asset valuations and may have prompted some profit taking activity. A hotter-than-expected April CPI report from the U.K. and a weaker-than-expected Existing Home Sales report for April weighed on sentiment.
A downside move from Target (TGT -8.03%) came after it reported disappointing earnings and a less optimistic outlook. Analog Devices (ADI +10.86%) rose after its earnings report and First Solar (FSLR +18.69%) was another winning standout following a Bloomberg report that China's solar industry body wants an end to the price war. NVIDIA (NVDA -0.46%) was little changed on the session but traded at least +6% higher post-market after reporting earnings.
Only three S&P 500 sectors closed with gains while three sectors declined more than -1.0%. The 10-yr note yield settled two basis points higher at 4.43% and the 2-yr note yield rose five basis points to 4.88%.

Y - Slumping near its 50 DMA line ($19.92) with today's big loss. There was a "negative reversal" and it closed near the session low on the prior session after hitting new multi-year highs. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents in the 5/20/24 mid-day report - "Found support above its 50 DMA line during an orderly 6-week flat base. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Earnings increases have been above the +25% mninimum guideline in quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 versus the year-ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a loss in FY '20."
