Major Indices Ended Slightly Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 (+0.2%) and the Nasdaq Composite (+0.5%) closed at or near their highs of the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed slightly higher but the Russell 2000 logged a -0.2% decline. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE and a narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 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. Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
 PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is hovering near its all-time high.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors settled lower. The financial sector was among the worst performers, down -0.5%, while the consumer discretionary sector (+2.0%) led the pack. Apple (AAPL +2.00%), Amazon.com (AMZN +3.90%), and Tesla (TSLA +4.81%) were among the top performers from the mega cap space. FedEx (FDX +15.53%) rallied following better-than-expected earnings and an indication that demand is expected to improve through FY25. General Mills (GIS -4.59%) fell after a fiscal Q4 earnings report that included a revenue miss driven by lower prices and lower volumes.
The 10-yr note yield settled eight basis points higher at 4.32% and the 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.32%. There was solid demand for a fresh $70 billion 5-yr note sale. There latest economic data included a below-consensus New Home Sales report for May.
