Major Indices Snapped Losing Streak With Solid Friday Gains

The S&P 500 advanced 1.9% for its best day since June 24. The benchmark snapped a five-session losing streak and pared its weekly loss to 0.9%. The Dow added 658 points, while the Nasdaq rallied 1.8%, trimming their weekly declines to 0.2% and 1.6%, respectively. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 1 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The brief new market uptrend is already under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, but leadership has been very thin.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain on Friday to break a 5 session losing streak. It remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and well below its 200 DMA after slumping as much as -24.5% from its January 4, 2022 record high. 

U.S. stocks finished higher on Friday as investors assessed economic data and corporate earnings results. All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Financials pacing gains. Citigroup Inc. (C +13.23%) soared following a top and bottom line beat as the firm caught a tailwind from higher interest rates and increased trading activity. UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH +5.44%) rallied on upbeat results and a boost to its full-year guidance.

On the data front, U.S. retail sales jumped a stronger-than-anticipated 1% in June, rebounding from May’s 0.1% decline. However, spending on gasoline accounted for a large portion of the advance. Additionally, a preliminary July update from the University of Michigan revealed consumer sentiment recovered from an all-time low, edging up to 51.1 from the previous 50.0 figure. Also buoying the mood, the report revealed 5-10-year inflation expectations slipped to a one-year low of 2.8%. The updates, along with recent Federal Reserve commentary, helped ease market forecasts of an ultra-aggressive 1.00% central bank rate hike later this month, though another 0.75% increase remained widely anticipated.

Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down four basis points (0.04%) to 2.92%. However, the yield on the two-year note ended the session at 3.12%, marking the deepest inversion since 2000 amid rising concerns about a looming recession. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude settled the week below $100/barrel for the first time since April.

Stalled Since Clearing Double Bottom Base

International Money Express (IMXI +$0.06 or +0.28% to $21.40) encountered distributional pressure recently after touching a new 52-week high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($20.32) defines important near-term support to watch, where any violation may trigger a technical sell signal. IMXI was highlighted in yellow in the 7/01/22 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 6/06/22 high after a "double bottom" base. The big gain above the pivot point was backed by +438% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. It was last shown with detailed analysis on 5/12/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Heavy While Rallying from Double Bottom Base"However, since then it met stubborn resistance near the prior high.

IMXI has a 96 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +26% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The Financial Services-Specialty firm's quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong and backed by solid sales revenues growth. The past 7 quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases above the year ago period by more than +25% (C criteria).

There is a small supply of only 38.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 210 in Mar '21 to 300 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
