Indices Posted Small Gains as Leadership Contracted

Stocks finished slightly higher Wednesday. The Dow added 52 points to 24886 while the S&P 500 was up 8 points to 2733. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 47 points to 7425. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE yet higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 34 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 70 on the prior session. New 52-week highs 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. ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is -6.5% off its record high hit on January 26th. It found support above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

The major averages rebourded from early session lows to finish in positive territory following the release of the minutes from the Fed’s May meeting. In the statement, the central bank indicated it is willing to let inflation “run above the two percent target for a temporary period” but hinted a June rate hike was imminent. Trade concerns provided a market headwind as President Trump suggested this morning that a deal with China may be "too hard to get done." On the data front, preliminary readings on U.S. services and manufacturing activity in May both topped expectations.

Consumer Discretionary stocks provided a market tailwind as Lowe’s (LOW +10.43%) released a positive quarterly report along with Tiffany & Co. (TIF +23.29%) which had a big "breakaway gap" for a new all-time high. Conversely, Target (TGT -5.70%) fell after missing consensus earnings expectations. General Electric (GE -7.26%) suffered its largest daily decline since 2009 after its CEO revealed he anticipated no profit growth in its power business.

Treasuries strengthened along the curve as the yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell seven basis points to 2.99%. In commodities, WTI crude declined 0.7% to $71.73. In, FOREX trading the U.S. Dollar Index added 0.4% against its peers.

Bank Perched Near High After Orderly Base

Live Oak Bancshares Inc (LOB -$0.30 or -1.01% to $29.45) has been highlighted in yellow again with a new pivot point 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 mostly below average while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($28.65). Prior lows in the $26-27 area define important near term support.

The Wilmington, NC - based banking company recently reported earnings +63% on +42% for the Mar '18 quarter. It hadvery strong sales revenues and earnings increases for the Sep and Dec '17 quarters. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

LOB was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/25/18 high plus 10 cents in the 3/16/18 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown with an annotated graph in this FSU section on 4/16/18 under the headline, "Tested Support at 50-Day Moving Average After Breakout".

It completed a new Public Offering on 8/09/17. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 140 in Mar '17 to 196 in Mar '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. There are only 40.0 million shares outstanding (S criteria). It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship rating of C.

Recent gains above the stock's pivot point did not meet the required volume threshold of at least +40% above average volume needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Due to report earnings for its fiscal first quarter ended April 30, 2018 on Thursday, May 24, 2018 after the market close. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

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.
