Leadership Waned as Major Indices Slumped for Big Losses

The Dow lost 710 points for its largest decline in two weeks. The S&P 500 dropped 2.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 2.2%, breaking its longest winning streak since December. Decliners led advancers by a 7-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 12 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the total of 69 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating -13.9% off its record high, slumping toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Stocks finished firmly lower Wednesday, as a resurgence of coronavirus cases in several states raised concerns that government officials could re-impose restrictions on economies beginning to reopen. Florida and California both reported a record increase in daily new infections, while Texas warned of limited ICU beds. Additionally, reemerging trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe weighed on investor sentiment. The Trump Administration is reportedly considering new tariffs on $3.1 billion worth of European exports. 

On the data front, MBA mortgage applications dipped 8.7% in the week ending June 19. A separate update from FHFA showed housing prices rose 0.2% month-over-month in April, just below consensus estimates for a 0.3% uptick. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note off three basis point to 0.68%.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in negative territory. Energy stocks led the declines, with WTI crude losing 6.1% amid building inventories. In corporate news, Dell Technologies (DELL +8.35%) rose after The Wall Street Journal reported the company may be looking to spin off its $50 billion stake in VMware (VMW +2.35%). Shares of companies that stand to benefit from easing lockdown measures faltered with Airlines, Cruise Lines, and Casinos all declining. Elsewhere, Disney (DIS -3.88%) fell following a petition from Florida theme park workers to delay reopening Disney World amid an uptick in COVID-19 cases.

Energy, Financial, and Tech Groups Led Widespread Losses

Energy-linked groups were standout decliners as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -5.84%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -7.93%) both fell sharplyWeakness in financials weighed on the major indices considerably as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.24%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -4.814%) both suffered large losses. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.57%) suffered a smaller loss.  The tech sector had a negative bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK -2.28%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.19%), and Networking Index ($NWX -2.92%) each lost ground The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.15%) also fell.

Pullback Breaks Streak of 8 Straight Gains Into New High Ground

The Trade Desk Inc Cl A (TTD -$13.66 or -3.33% to $396.37) pulled back from its all time high today with below average volume behind a loss breaking a streak of 8 consecutive gains. It is very extended from any sound base. Prior highs in the $327 area define important near-term support above its 50-day moving average ($312).

TTD was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/07/20 high in the 6/03/20 mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with a big gain following a deep pullback and a 3-week handle-like consolidation. The big gain and strong close above the pivot point was backed by +73% above average volume triggering a convincing technical buy signal. The Comml Svcs-Advertising firm was last shown in this FSU section on 6/03/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Trade Desk Posts Powerful Gain for New High".

Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Mar '20 quarterly earnings +84% on +33% sales revenues, and 6 of the past 7 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
 Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, and it has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 280 in Mar '18 to 592 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are only 46.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
