Major Indices Ended Mixed as Tech Weakness Pressured Nasdaq Composite
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 (-1.4%), Russell 2000 (-1.1%), and Nasdaq Composite (-2.8%) fell on Wednesday while the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a standout gain of +0.59%. Volume was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 127 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 176 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.

Semiconductor stocks were also reacting to a Bloomberg report that the Biden Administration is discussing tightening export restrictions to China even further.

Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +3.69%) rose after its Q2 earnings report, and UnitedHealth (UNH +4.45%) rose after an analyst upgrade. Bank stocks also outperformed the rest of the market.
