Major Indices Edged Lower With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 245 points (-0.7%) and the S&P 500 slid -0.5%, meanwhile the Nasdaq Composite dipped only -0.2%. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, down from Friday's totals which were inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative with decliners leading advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 7-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 87 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs 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 Nasdaq Composite Index ended lower for a 2nd consecutive session, retreating from its 2023 high.
Ten of 11 sectors ended lower as U.S. equities fell on Tuesday. Sentiment cooled surrounding the recent rally and as investors digested continued hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Energy sector led the laggards, down 2.3%.
Treasuries strengthened today after better-than-expected housing market data was released. Investors also await Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s semi-annual report to Congress that begins tomorrow. The yield on the 10-year note was down five basis points (0.05%) to 3.72%, and the 30-year bond yield dipped four basis points (0.04%) to 3.81%. Meanwhile, the yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, declined four basis points (0.04%) to 4.68%.
On the data front today, both housing starts and building permits data beat expectations. Housing starts rose by the fastest monthly pace since 2016, surging 21.7% month-over-month in May to an annualized rate of 1.63 million, outpacing expectations for a 0.1% decline. Meanwhile, building permits climbed 5.2% month-over-month in May to an annualized rate of 1.49 million.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1.8% to $70.50/barrel as demand concerns brought on by softness in economic data continue to plague the oil market. Gold prices declined 1.1% to $1936.60/ounce amid today’s dollar strength.

Hit Another New High With 4th Consecutive Volume-Driven Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Amphastar Pharm (AMPH +$0.76 or +1.38% to $55.79) hit yet another new high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by above average volume, getting very extended from any sound base. Prior highs in the $44 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($42.82) on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.
AMPH was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/24/23 high in the 5/15/23 mid-day report (read here) and it was coverned in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under then headline "Weak Finish After Early Gain When Perched Near All-Time High". It slumped below its 50 DMA line with a streak of volume-driven losses but then halted its slide. A gap up and considerable volume-driven gain on 5/10/23 helped its outlook improve, then additional volume-driven gains repaired all technical damage and boosted it into new high territory.
It hails from the Medical-Biomed/Biotech group which is currently ranked 15th on the 197 Industry Groyups list (L cvriteria). It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '23 versus the year-ago periods have been strong and well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reported fell from 454 in Jun '22 to 435 in Mar '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6, however, is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Slumping below its 50 DMA line ($25.28) raising concerns with today's 4th volume-driven loss in the span of 5 sessions following a noted "negative reversal" on 6/13/23. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. It was repeatedly noted - "It did not form a sound new base of sufficient length but quickly recovered after testing its 4/27/23 low. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +60% on +9% sales revenues versus the year-ago period."

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while stubbornly holding its ground perched within striking distance of its 52-week high. Found support near its 50 DMA line ($86) during its recent consolidation. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.
