The Nasdaq Composite closed 18 points higher at 4876. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 51 on the prior session.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and perched only -1.5% off its April 2016 high. 

Big gains for the major indices and strong closes near each session high last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday effectively put an end to the "correction" noted in prior commentaries. Experts at the newspaper stated that the bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria).  

The S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite Index have unanimously rebounded above their 50-day moving average (DMA) lines following recent damaging losses on much heavy volume.  On thFeatured Stocks Page a few noteworthy candidates remain, however in recent weeks few have made meaningful headway.

The major averages ended a choppy session mixed as investors appeared cautious heading into tomorrow’s jobs report. Forecasts are non-farm payrolls rose 180,000 in June while the unemployment rate edged up to 4.8%. Today’s employment reading from ADP showed private payrolls increased 172,000 last month versus a projected 160,000 increase. Initial jobless claims unexpectedly declined 16,000 to 254,000 from 270,000 in the prior week.

A drop in oil also provided a market headwind after weekly U.S. inventories declined less than anticipated. Shares of Chevron (CVX -1.46%) and Exxon (XOM -1.20%) fell.

On the earnings front, Pepsi (PEP +1.48%) rose after providing guidance above analyst forecasts. Western Digital (WDC +4.84%) after the disk drive maker raised its fourth-quarter outlook. In M&A news, WhiteWave (WWAV +18.55) rose after DANONE (DANOY +1.06%) agreed to buy the non-dairy and dairy producer for $10 billion.

Consumer Discretionary was the best performing sector in the S&P500. Viacom (VIAB +4.01%) rose. Utilities were down the most on the session as Exelon (EXC -2.54%) fell.

Treasuries were mostly lower with the 10-year note down 6/32 to yield 1.39%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude dropped 4.7% to $45.18/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.4% to $1361.30/ounce.
