Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose with Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500, which closed above 4,500, and the Nasdaq Composite ultimately settled near their highs of the day while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of less aggressive institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained strong as there were 84 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 105 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 4th consecutive gain and is perched at its 2023 high.

Thursday was another strong day for stocks. Mega caps gains boosted index performance, but many stocks participated in the rally. Belief that the economy can avoid a hard landing and that the Fed is close to being done raising rates was supported by better-than-expected economic data on the heels of Wednesday's cooler-than-expected CPI report. The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.1% month-over-month in June following a downwardly revised 0.4% decline (from -0.3%) in May. Initial jobless claims for the week ending July 8 decreased by 12,000 to 237,000 while continuing jobless claims for the week ending July 1 increased by 11,000 to 1.729 million.

Treasuries built on their post-CPI gains as the 2-yr note yield dropped 12 basis points to 4.61% and the 10-yr note yield fell 10 basis points to 3.76%. The U.S. Dollar Index slipped below 100.00, falling 0.7% to 99.78.

Positive sentiment was also helped by the better-than-expected results and guidance from Delta Air Lines (DAL -0.5%) and PepsiCo (PEP +2.4%). Exxon Mobil (XOM -1.8%) announced plans to acquire Denbury (DEN -1.3%) in an all-stock transaction.

Semiconductor stocks and small caps were clear pockets of strength today, reflecting the market's positive economic outlook. The PHLX Semiconductor Index rose 2.4% and the Russell 2000 rose 0.9%.

Bank stocks also assumed a leadership position in front of earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase (JPM +0.5%), Wells Fargo (WFC +1.0%), Citigroup (C +0.6%), and others due pre-open on Friday.

Only two of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered losses, Energy (-0.5%) and Healthcare (-0.01%). Communication services (+2.3%), information technology (+1.5%), and consumer discretionary (+1.1%) sectors were top gainers.

Financial, Retail, Semiconductor, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +1.33%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.36%), and the Retail Index ($RLX +1.10%) posted unanimous gains helping further boost the major averages. The tech sector was led by the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.03%) while Biotech Index ($BTK +0.20%) inched higher but the Networking Index ($NWX -1.08%) ended lower. Energy-linked shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.14%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.55%) both posted small gains.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.87%) notched a modest gain after rising above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big gain on Wednesday.

Volume Heavy Behind Considerable Breakout Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Allegro Microsystems Inc (ALGM +$4.36 or +9.24% to $51.53) finished strong yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/03/23 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Today's 5th consecutive gain with ever-increasing volume had it hitting a new all-time high. The gain and strong close above the pivot point was backed by +183% above average volume triggering a proper technical buy signal. It found support above its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/25/23.

ALGM was last shown in greater detail on 4/11/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Near 50 DMA Line After Recent Rally". The company hails from the Elec-Semiconductor Fabless group which is currently ranked 2nd on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '23 have been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been strong since its $14 IPO in Oct '20. ALGM has a new CEO as of Jun '22.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 341 in Mar '22 to 611 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
