Breadth Negative as Leadership Waned and Major Indices Fell

The major indices all registered losses, yet they were able to rebound from intraday lows. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average had been down as much as 1.4%, 1.6%, and 1.5%, respectively. By the close, their losses ranged from 0.8% to 1.1%. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 7 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 21 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and 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 S&P 500 Index pulled back from its 2023 high.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors and 28 of the 30 Dow components closed with losses. Apple (AAPL +0.3%) and Microsoft (MSFT +0.9%) were the lone outperformers to close with a gain from the DJIA. 

Rising market rates, the biggest factor driving the market's retreat, created a reason to take more money off the table. The 2-yr note yield rose seven basis points to 5.01% and the 10-yr note yield rose 10 basis points to 4.04%. Those moves were in response to this morning's strong labor data and the stronger-than-expected ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for June. 

ADP estimated that 497,000 jobs were added to private sector payrolls in June. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a second rate hike in September jumped to 27.7% from 18.1% and the probability of a rate hike in November jumped to 46.7% from 35.9%.

The weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index fell 4.4% with purchase applications dropping 5.0% and refinance applications falling 4.0%. According to ADP, private sector hiring increased by 497,000 in June following a downwardly revised 267,000 (from 278,000) in May. Separately, initial jobless claims for the week ending July 1 increased by 12,000 to 248,000. Continuing jobless claims for the week ending June 24 decreased by 13,000 to 1.720 million.

The May Trade Balance Report showed a narrowing in the trade deficit to $69.0 billion from an upwardly revised $74.4 billion (from -$74.6 billion) in April. The final IHS Markit Services PMI reading for June fell to 54.4 from 54.9. JOLTS - Job Openings totaled 9.824 million in May following a revised count of 10.320 million in April (from 10.103 million). The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for June checked in at 53.9%, increasing from 50.3% in May.

Slumping Below 50-Day Moving Average and Below Prior Low

Coca Cola Femsa Sab Ads (KOF -$1.65 or -1.96% to $82.25) edged lower today, slumping further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($86.31) and undercutting the recent lows in the $81.63 on 5/31/23) raising greater concerns. A rebpund above the 50 day moving average is needed for its outlook to improve.

KOF was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/23 high plus 10 cents in the 3/07/23 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in great detail on 6/09/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Coca-Cola Femsa Posts 7th Consecutive Gain". It reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +53% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 4th quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) backed by strong sales revenues growth.KOF has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating.  Annal earnings had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic.

It hails from the Beverages - Non-Alcoholic group which is currently ranked 26th on the 197 Industry Groups list. There are 857.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 120 in Mar '22 to 180 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days.
