Stocks finished higher on Tuesday. The Dow rose 75 points to 18053. The S&P 500 gained 9 points to 2108. The NASDAQ advanced 33 points to 5104. Volume totals were reported lower than the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 9-5 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 97 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 108 stocks. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain on Monday of +1.48% can be considered a follow-through day on Day 5 of a new rally attempt, confirming a new uptrend. Broad strength has helped the major averages (M criteria) rebound above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded impressively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index both found prompt support near their respective 200 DMA lines, a reassuring sign that the institutional crowd still has an appetite for buying stocks.

Disciplined investors may now stand ready to buy only the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria. New matches with the fact-based investment system will be added to the Featured Stocks Page as market action dictates.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rallied above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after finding prompt support near its 200 DMA line. It is perched -1.2% off its all time high, and its MACD indictor recently turned bullish.

The major averages climbed, as investors focused on international accords and the beginning of earnings season. Greek and EU officials continued to show progress towards finalizing their short-term financing deal. In the Middle East, world leaders came to an agreement on an Iranian nuclear deal, but hurdles still remain.

At the close, nine of 10 S&P 500 sectors were in positive territory. Earnings and M&A were in the driver’s seat. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.4%) advanced after beating earnings and revenue estimates. However, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -0.5%) fell as traders took profits after positive quarterly results. Ahead of their reports Yum! (YUM +1%) and CSX (CSX +0.5%) both rose.

Healthcare was up the most. Biogen (BIIB +2.3%) rallied after positive commentary. In tech, Micron (MU +11.4%) rallied after a $23 billion takeover offer. SanDisk (SNDK +3.4%) and other semiconductor makers advanced in sympathy. Higher oil prices lifted Diamond Offshore (DO +1.2%) shares.

Treasuries moved higher, as bargain hunting made the scene. The 10-year note gained 15/32 to yield 2.40%.

Commodities were mixed. WTI crude reversed course and finished up 1.2% to $52.83, amid speculation of slower Iranian oil production gains. COMEX gold lost 0.1% to $1154.30/ounce, despite a weaker dollar. The dollar fell 0.1% against the yen to ¥123.37/USD.
