Indices Rose and Leadership Improved After Debt Ceiling Deal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow surged by 701 points (2.1%) while the S&P 500 increased 1.5% and Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.1% for its sixth consecutive week of gains. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, a sign of lackluster buying demand coming from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 55 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 16 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index hit a new 2023 high. The benchmark index found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during the recent consolidation.
All 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equity markets rallied on Friday. Investors celebrated a strong May jobs report and the U.S. Senate’s (with a 63-36 majority vote) passing of debt-ceiling legislation, averting a default. The bill is now headed to the White House to be signed into law. Bond yields also rose on Friday’s robust payroll figures. On the data front today, non-farm payrolls added 339,000 new jobs in May, exceeding the consensus forecast of 195,000. Upward revisions for March and April underscored May’s stronger-than-anticipated data. The unemployment rate ticked up last month to 3.7% from 3.4% in April, exceeding consensus expectations. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate was unchanged in May at 62.6%, matching expectations.
Treasury yields across the yield curve moved higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note rose by nine basis points (0.09%) to 3.69%, while the 30-year bond yield increased by six basis points (0.06%) to 3.88%. The yield on the two-year note jumped by 16 basis points (0.16%) to 4.50%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude advanced 2.7% to $71.98/barrel following news that the U.S. Congress passed a debt-ceiling deal ahead of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies (OPEC+) meeting this weekend.

PulteGroup's (PHM +$2.07 or +3.08% to $69.37) color code was changed to green after rising back above its "max buy" level. Important support to watch on pullbacks is its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($63.73).PHM was highlighted in yellow in the 4/25/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its May 2021 high. It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Recently Rallying to New All-Time Highs".

This Building - Residential/Commercial firm has posted 13 strong quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

Prior highs in the $79-$77 area define the next support to watch below its 50 DMA line.

Y - Posted a 2nd solid gain today after pulling back testing its 50 DMA line ($151.91) following a "negative reversal".
