Major Indices Shook Off Early Weakness to Close Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow climbed 157 points, erasing an early session loss of more than 760 points. The S&P 500 advanced 0.8%, reversing course from a 2.5% drop. The Nasdaq Composite added 1.4%. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of a slight increase in institutional buying demand. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices remain in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it will be important to see the new highs totals improve.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -9.6% off its record high.

U.S. equities finished higher on Monday as additional stimulus support from the Federal Reserve overshadowed worries surrounding a resurgence in COVID-19 infections. The central bank announced plans to purchase a broad portfolio of individual corporate bonds in the secondary market. Stocks had been pressured in early trading after portions of Beijing closed following a spike in coronavirus cases tied to the largest wholesale food market in Asia. This followed the worst week for U.S. equities since March as a downbeat economic outlook from the Federal Reserve and a rise in reported coronavirus cases weighed on the mood.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory with Financials pacing gains. In corporate news, BP (BP -1.58%) fell after indicating plans to writedown up to $17.5 billion of assets this quarter following sizeable reductions to its long-term outlook for oil prices. WTI crude rebounded to finish more than 2% higher despite the downbeat forecasts. Elsewhere, Moderna (MRNA +7.37%) rose following reports that Israel was in advanced discussions with the drugmaker to purchase its coronavirus vaccine.

On the data front, industrial production in China increased the most since December last month, but retail sales declined for a fourth-consecutive month. In the U.S., a gauge of manufacturing activity in the New York State region improved more than projected this month. Treasuries finished little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note steady at 0.71%.

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

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.46%) outpaced the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.99%) as financials helped underpin the market rebound. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.90%) also rose. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.02%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.43%) both rose while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.09%) finished flat. Energy-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.24%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.19%) both ended little changed.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.41%) was a standout gainer as it managed a "positive reversal" after early weakness undercut its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

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

Fortinet Inc (FTNT +$5.57 or +4.27% to $135.91) managed a "positive reversal" after briefly undercutting its "max buy" level, posting a solid gain today with higher (+10% above average) volume. It closed -9.2% off its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($124.14) and prior highs in the $121 area define important near-term support to watch. FTNT was last shown in this FSU section on 5/22/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base and Holding Ground Stubbornly".

FTNT finished strong after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/06/20 high plus 10 cents in the 5/07/20 mid-day report (read here). Fundamentals remain strong. Bullish action came after reporting earnings +30% on +22% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter, its 9th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have been improving since FY '14, also helping it match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 960 in Jun '18 to 1,599 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship rating of B.
