Major Indices Paused After Recent Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Russell 2000, up 4.6% for the week entering today, declined 1.0% and saw the biggest loss among the major indices. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 65 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 84 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet 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 S&P 500 Index paused after 4 consecutive gains for new 2023 highs.

There was good economic news Friday that included an increase in consumer sentiment to its highest level since September 2021 in July and some notable deflation in import prices and export prices on a year-over-year basis in June. Good earnings news was reported from JPMorgan Chase (JPM +0.6%), Wells Fargo (WFC -0.3%), Citigroup (C -4.0%), and UnitedHealth (UNH +7.2%). Microsoft (MSFT +0.8%) and NVIDIA (NVDA -1.1%) received analyst upgrades.

Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed with a loss, led by the energy sector (-2.8%), which followed oil prices lower ($75.40, -1.51, -2.0%). The energy sector, however, was the only sector down more than 1.0%. Conversely, the health care sector (+1.5%) was the only sector that gained more than 1.0%. UnitedHealth played a big part in that sector's outperformance and was the reason why the Dow Jones Industrial Average remained positive throughout the day.

The 2-yr note yield, down 32 basis points for the week coming into today, jumped 12 basis points to 4.73% while the 10-yr note yield, down 29 basis points for the week coming into today, increased six basis points to 3.82%.

Financial, Networking, and Commodity-Linked Groups Led Decliners
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -2.35%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.08%) both lost ground while the Retail Index ($RLX +0.22%) inched higher. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -3.86%) was a standout decliner and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.23%) also fell, meanwhile the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.71%) rose. Commodity-linked shares had a negative bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.78%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.89%) and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.73%) ended unanimously lower.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -2.35%) pulled back on Friday. It has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) but still well below its 200 DMA line.

Esquire Perched Near Prior Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Esquire Financial Hldgs (ESQ -$0.01 or -0.02% to $46.27) finished flat after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/04/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +68% on +71% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. Found support above the 50 DMA line ($43.21) and it is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Slumped below its 200 DMA line then rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/29/22.

ESQ went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded since last shown in this FSU section on 12/22/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support Recently Near Pivot Point and Prior Highs". This thinly-traded holding company in the Finance - Commercial Loans industry group has a small supply (S criteria) of only 6.5 million shares in the public float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It completed its $14 IPO on 6/29/17. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose form 64 in Sep '21 to 206 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

ESQ has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It has reported 7 consecutive quarterly comparisons with an earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings growth (A criteria) history has been strong.
