Small Caps Outperformed Major Indices

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.2%) and Russell 2000 (+1.3%) both posted gains but the  S&P 500 (-0.5%) and Nasdaq Composite (-0.9%) both ended lower on Thursday.  Volume reported was mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 70 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 52 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has been encountering pressure (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership and it remains important for a countining flow of stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain on Thursday finding support near its March-May highs. It is well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big loss while retreating from new all-time highs.

Outsized moves in either direction were reserved for names with specific catalysts. Honeywell (HON -5.24%) and Ford Motor (F -18.38%) were losing standouts after reporting earnings news. Meanwhile, IBM (IBM +4.33%) and ServiceNow (NOW +13.40%) are winning standouts after reporting earnings.

A fresh $44 billion 7-yr note auction met strong demand. The 10-yr note yield declined three basis points to 4.26% and the 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.44%. Treasuries were reacting to economic releases which were in-line with "soft landing" expectations.

G - Today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss more deeply violated its 50 DMA line ($56) after triggering a technical sell signal in the prior session. Stalled after quietly touching a new all-time high. Repeatedly noted - "A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.60)."
