Major Indices Rose With More Leadership and Higher Volume Totals

The market-cap weighted S&P 500 rose 0.7%. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 105 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 78 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows 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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid gain and hit a new 2023 high.

Investors reacted favorably to the June Consumer Price Index (CPI), leading the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to hit new 52-week highs.  Total CPI and core CPI, which excludes food and energy, were both up a smaller-than-expected 0.2%, which left their year-over-year rates at 3.0% and 4.8%, respectively, versus 4.0% and 5.3% in May. That is the smallest 12-month increase in total CPI since March 2021.

Two of the S&P 500 sectors declined - health care (-0.3%) and industrials (-0.2%). Communication services (+1.5%), utilities (+1.5%), and the materials (+1.3%) sectors were top gainers. 

Treasury yields took a sharp turn lower in response to the data. The 2-yr note yield plunged 16 basis points to 4.73%. The 10-yr note yield dropped 12 basis points to 3.86%. Separately, the $32 billion 10-yr note reopening met lukewarm demand. The U.S. Dollar Index, meanwhile, declined for the fifth consecutive day, falling 1.2% to 100.54.

Gold & Silver Index Led Financial, Retail, Energy, and Tech Indexes

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.10%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.86%), and the Retail Index ($RLX +1.21%) posted unanimous gains that helped boost the major averagesThe tech sector had a positive bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.27%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.865%) both posted solid gains, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX -0.24%) edged lower. Energy-linked shares rose as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.95%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.82%) both posted small gains.

Wedging Higher After Rebounding Above 50-Day Moving Average

Arista Networks Inc (ANET +$3.78 or +2.36% to $163.95) posted a 3rd consecutive gain backed by below average volume. Volume totals have been cooling while consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($153.19). It faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $178 level. Fundamentals remain strong.

ANET was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/27/21 high plus 10 cents in the 3/08/23 mid-day report (read here). It sputtered below its 50 DMA line briefly and then rebounded since last shown in this FSU section on 6/12/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebounding Near Recent High With 3 Consecutive Gains". 

ANET currently has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It has shown 6 consecutive quarterly comparisons with strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic. 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,758 in Dec '21 to 2,231 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 249.7 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
