Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose With Greater Leadership

The S&P 500 advanced 2.1%, to its highest level in three months, while the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dipped below 20, a trough not seen since April. The Nasdaq Composite surged 2.9%, now more than 20% above its June 16 low - meeting one widely cited definition of a bull market. The Dow added 535 points. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 17 on the prior session. New 52-week lows highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain with higher volume, approaching its downward sloping 200 DMA line.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with both growth-related and cyclical groups among the standouts. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was unchanged in July, versus estimates of a 0.2% gain. The softer print was widely anticipated amid the recent pullback in oil prices. However, the headline figure remained elevated at 8.5% year-over-year, easing more than forecasted from June’s 9.1% annual increase but still well above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 2% target. Core CPI (excluding food and energy) climbed 5.9% on an annual basis in July, below expectations of a 6.1% year-over-year pace and matching the prior month’s reading.

 Despite the weaker inflation reading, the latest remarks from central bank officials continued to push back against the idea of a pivot to more accommodative policy. The yield on the 10-year note ended just one basis point (0.01%) higher at 2.79% after the maturity’s $35 billion auction was met with strong demand. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar fell 1.1% in its steepest drop since the start of the pandemic. The lower greenback supported oil prices, helping to offset a larger-than-forecasted weekly buildup in crude stockpiles. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.1% to $91.47/barrel.

Tech, Retail, Financial, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

Pollution Control Firm Perched Near Prior High

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH +$2.96 or +2.70% to $112.65) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/01/22 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It has been holding its ground after recent volume-driven gains approaching its April high ($115) and all-time high. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $118 level.

CLH has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +105% on +46% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

There are only 54.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 608 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C.
