Major Indices Rose With Greater L:eadership

The S&P 500 extended its record high, climbing +0.77% while the Nasdaq Composite rose +0.95% and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +0.49%. Volume totals reported were mixed, slightly lighter than the prior session on the NYSE yet higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Market breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange.  Leadership improved as there were 47 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 13 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. It was encouraging to see recent improvement in the new highs totals with the market showing some broad-based strength and resilience. Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched at its all-time high following 5 consecutive gains.

The latest economic data was limited to the NY Fed Empire State Manufacturing Index, which rose to -6.0 in June from -15.6 in May. The rate-sensitive real estate (-0.8%) and utilities (-0.5%) sectors were laggards, pressured by a jump in yields. The 10-yr note yield closed seven basis points higher at 4.28% and the 2-yr note yield settled eight basis points higher at 4.76%.

Outsized gains in Apple (AAPL +1.97%) and Microsoft (MSFT +1.31%), two of the three stocks with a market cap above $3 trillion, provided some support to the broader market. Broadcom (AVGO +5.4%) was another top performer. Strength in the mega cap and semiconductor spaces boosted the S&P 500 information technology (+1.2%) and consumer discretionary (+1.4%) sectors to make them top gainers.

Still Sputtering Below Pivot Point After Negating Breakout

PDD Holdings (PDD -$0.68 or -0.46% to $148.30) pulled back today with below average volume. It raised concerns recently as it negated the breakout after clearing a 20-week base. Disciplined investors avoid big losses by selling any stock that falls more than 7-8% below their purchase price. It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/28/24 under the headline "Pulled Back Below Prior Highs Raising Concerns".

It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 showed encouraging sales revenues and greatly improved earnings versus the year-ago periods with growth rate acceleration. After years of losses, it had a profitable FY '21-23 helping it better match the fundamental annual earnings (A criteria) guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,487 in Jun '23 to 1,862 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timelinesss Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
