Breadth Negative as Earnings Reactions Weigh on Market
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 323 points, while the S&P 500 drifted 0.5% below Tuesday’s record closing high. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1% as tech-related shares bucked the pressure. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 68 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 52 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend that has come under pressure. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is hovering near its all-time high.

U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Wednesday as investors assessed mixed economic data and another influx of corporate earnings reports. Central bank updates were also in focus. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida stated that he could support tapering bond purchases later this year if his base case for the economy was met, while rate hikes could begin in 2023.

Treasuries reversed early session gains, with the yield on the 10-year note ending unchanged at 1.17% after nearing a six-month low of 1.13% in earlier trading. On the data front, a report from ADP showed just 330,000 private jobs were added to the U.S. economy in July, falling short of estimates of a 683,000 addition and below the prior month's downwardly revised 680,000 print. Separately, a release from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed U.S. services sector activity accelerated at a record pace in July.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Energy leading decliners amid a drop in oil prices. WTI crude fell 3.6% to $68.01/barrel following an unexpected buildup in weekly U.S. inventories. In earnings, General Motors (GM -8.91%) suffered its worst session in over a year, sliding on mixed results that included a disappointing profit tally. Kraft Heinz (KHC -5.14%) fell as higher input prices posed a threat to margins. Lyft (LYFT -10.56%) fell as disappointing forward guidance overshadowed the ride-hailing service’s first-ever quarterly adjusted profit.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
