Major Indexes Reversed and Ended Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices reversed and ended lower Thursday after initially the S&P 500 hit a new 52-week high of 4,607, up as much as 0.9%. The Nasdaq Composite had been up as much as 1.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had 13 straight wins, was up as much as 0.4%. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of increasing institutional selling pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 34 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 56 on the prior session. 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 S&P 500 Index reversed after hitting a new 2023 high.

Meta Platforms (META +4.4%) rose after it reported earnings and gave a favorable outlook. Notable winners on earnings news also included McDonald's (MCD +1.2%), Comcast (CMCSA +5.7%), Lam Research (LRCX +9.3%), AbbVie (ABBV +4.9%), and Royal Caribbean (RCL +8.7%).

The $35 billion 7-yr note auction was met with underwhelming demand. Selling in the Treasury market increased after the auction results and the 10-yr note yield settled back above 4.00%, rising 16 basis points to 4.01%. The 2-yr note yield rose nine basis points to 4.92%. Also, the dollar came down sharply against the yen. USD/JPY is down 0.5% to 139.49. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 0.9% to 101.78.

Initial jobless claims (221,000), a leading indicator, hit their lowest level since February. The Q2 GDP report showed real GDP increasing at an annual rate of 2.4% that was up from 2.0% in the first quarter. June Durable Goods Orders were up a robust 4.7%, driven by increases in most durable goods categories.

Only one S&P 500 sector logged a gain, communication services (+0.9%), meanwhile the real estate (-2.1%) and utilities (-1.7%) sectors suffered the largest declines.

Semiconductor Index Rose Amid Widespread Group Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financials had a negative bias as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.20%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.26%) both lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.33%) edged lower. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.86%) posted a solid gain but the Networking Index ($NWX -1.22%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.58%) both finished lower. Commodity-linked groups were led lower by the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.78%) suffered a standout loss while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.54%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.73%) also slumped.

Reversed After Reaching a New All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

PulteGroup's (PHM -$0.66 or -0.78% to $83.64) had a "negative reversal" and ended lower today after hitting a new all-time high. It is very extended from any sound base. It recently reported earnings +18% for the Jun '23 quarter versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) raising concerns. Important support to watch is defined by its 50-day moving average DMA line ($74.54).

PHM was highlighted in yellow in the 4/25/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its May 2021 high. It was last shown in great detail on 6/26/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Negative Reversal After Hitting Another New High".

This Building - Residential/Commercial firm broke a streak of 13 strong quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,709 in Dec '22 to 1,896 in Jun '23. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B-.
