Leadership Thinned as Major Indices Were Little Changed

The market-cap weighted S&P 500 closed flat and the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched 2 points higher as it logged its tenth consecutive winning sessionThe volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and led by a 6-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 26 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 55 on the prior session, down considerably from 155 on Tuesday. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows 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 has posted 10 consecutive gains.

Semiconductor stocks were a pocket of strength, bouncing back from losses Thursday. The PHLX Semiconductor Index rose 1.0%. Dow component American Express (AXP -3.9%) was a notable laggard, its earnings report featuring lower than expected revenues and a notable increase in the provision for credit losses.

Roughly half of the S&P 500 sectors closed with a gain led by utilities (+1.5%), health care (+1.0%), and energy (+0.8%). The communication services (-0.5%) and industrials (-0.5%) sectors resided at the bottom of the pack along with the financials (-0.3%) and information technology (-0.3%) sectors. 

Next week will be policy meetings for the Fed, the ECB, and the Bank of Japan. The economic calendar, in turn, will feature a number of key releases highlighted by the Adv. Q2 GDP report and the June Personal Income and Spending Report that will include the Fed's preferred inflation gauge in the form of the core-PCE Price Index. As a reminder, the Nasdaq 100 special rebalance goes into effect before Monday's open.
