Major Averages Were Mixed and Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, erasing an early session advance of 1%. The Nasdaq Composite also lost 0.1%. Both benchmarks just came off their first three-week winning stretch since April. The Dow added 29 points. Developments from Washington were also in focus, with the Senate yesterday passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $430 billion in spending to address climate change and extend health care coverage. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 25 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the recent improvement in leadership was a reassuring sign.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a 3rd consecutive small loss with light volume. It has recently been trading near its June high but still remains well below its 200 DMA line.

U.S. stocks finished little changed on Monday as weakness in Tech shares weighed on sentiment. Investors also exercised caution ahead of this week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, as the update should have implications for the path of Federal Reserve (Fed) rate increases. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory. Technology was a notable decliner amid weakness in chipmakers. NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA -6.30%) slumped following a negative pre-announcement that included a sharp miss in quarterly revenue and disappointing guidance. In other earnings, Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN -8.40%) after its profit tally fell short of consensus estimates. Meanwhile, in M&A (merger and acquisition) news, Global Blood Therapeutics Inc. (GBT +4.32%) has nearly doubled over the past three sessions after officially agreeing to be acquired by Pfizer Inc. (PFE +0.61%) for $5.4 billion.

Treasuries recouped some of their recent decline, with the yield on the 10-year note down eight basis points (0.08%) to 2.75%. However, the two-year note yield remains more than 0.40% above the longer-term yield at 3.21% as the inversion in this part of the curve deepens in a widely cited recessionary signal. Last week, shorter-term Treasury yields jumped following a robust jobs report that bolstered expectations for another sizeable Fed rate hike in September.

Tech Sector and Bank Index Fell; Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Bank Index ($BKX -0.53%) edged lower while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.20%) posted a tiny gain and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.12%)finished slightly in the red. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.61%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.50%) to the downside, meanwhile the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.10%) eked out a tiny gain. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.47%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.91%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.78%).

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.47%) posted a solid gain but remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and well below its 200 DMA line.

Breakout for New High Backed by +52% Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Griffon Corporation (GFF +$1.46 or +4.75% to $32.22) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/07/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new high with today's 4th consecutive gain and close above the pivot point backed by +51% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Prior highs define initial support to watch on pullbacks.

GFF has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +215% on +31% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

The company has only 57 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-dated funds owning its shares fell from 355 in Sep '21 to 336 in Jun '22. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
