Nasdaq Composite Index Leads as Major Indices Rally Higher

The Dow added 92 points to close out the holiday shortened week with a 3.3% weekly gain. The S&P 500 rallied 0.5%, ending 4% higher for the week. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.5% to a new all-time high, extending its weekly advance to 4.6%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by 9-7 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange as traders prepared for the long weekend celebrating Independence Day . There were 79 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 44 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see hearty new highs totals.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -8.2% off its record high. It has found support above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Stocks rose on Thursday as investors digested an upbeat monthly jobs report. On the data front, the Labor Department revealed a record 4.8 million jobs were added to the U.S. economy in June, exceeding consensus estimates of 3.2 million and higher than the upwardly revised to 2.7 million May reading. The unemployment rate eased to 11.1% from 13.3% in May. Separately, weekly initial jobless claims showed 1.4 million Americans filed for unemployment in the most recent week, which was slightly higher than forecasted. Rounding out the docket, was an update on factory orders which rebounded 8.0% in May from a 13.5% decline in the prior month. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the 10-year note little changed at 0.67%.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with the Real Estate and Communication Services groups the lone laggards. The Energy sector outperformed as WTI crude gained 1.1% to $40.25/barrel. In corporate news, Tesla (TSLA +7.95%) rallied to a new record high after delivering more than 90,000 cars in the second quarter, higher than the 72,000 analysts were expecting. Stocks that tend to benefit from easing lockdown measures rallied, with Wynn Resorts (WYNN +4.78%) rising. Elsewhere, Moderna (MRNA -4.90%) fell after the biotech company announced that a late-stage trial for its potential coronavirus vaccine would be delayed.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.42%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.31%) both edged higher and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.08%) finished flat. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.35%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +0.31%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.61%)Energy-linked groups had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.50%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.98%) each posted gains, meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.25%) ended lower

Powered to New High on Prior Session With Volume Driven Gain

Netflix Inc (NFLX -$8.75 or -1.80% to $476.89) pulled back today following a solid gain with +37% above average volume on the prior session as it rallied above its "max buy" level for a new all-time high. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($436) during recent consolidations.

Fundamentals remain strong after it reported earnings +107% on +28% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). NFLX finished strong after it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/20 mid-day report (read here). The gain above the pivot point was backed by +55% above average volume and triggered a technical buy signal.  NFLX was last shown in this FSU section on 6/12/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Weak Action Led to 50-Day Moving Average Violation". 

A previously noted downturn in FY '15 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by very strong growth. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,534 in Mar '17 to 2,435 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The company has 422.2 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can make it a less likely sprinter. It has a Timeliness rating of A, a Sponsorship rating of B, and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B.
