Major Indices Reversed into Red as Volume Totals Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 reversed direction, ending the day down 0.8%. The Dow shed 104 points, while the Nasdaq Composite extended its decline to 1.7%. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an increase in institutional selling pressure. Advancers and decliners were evenly matched on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 72 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals again on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average had a "negative reversal" for a loss on higher volume, breaking a streak of 7 consecutive gains. It ended -6.4% off its record high.

Stocks finished lower on Tuesday, with all three major U.S. equity benchmarks sliding into negative territory during the final hour of trading. Weakness came after Senate Majority Leader McConnell stated that fiscal stimulus talks had reached a stalemate. The benchmark index had come within 0.5% of hitting a new all-time high earlier in the session on reports that lawmakers were willing to restart negotiations. Rumors that Russia had granted regulatory approval to a coronavirus vaccine had also provided a tailwind to risk assets during the morning.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with investors seemingly rotating away from Tech and growth-related shares and into more value-oriented sectors. Financials outperformed as Treasury yields jumped the most since June. The yield on the 10-year note climbed as high as 0.65% before ending the day up five basis points to 0.63% as investors anticipated this week’s record $112 billion of government debt issuance.

On the data front, an update on inflation revealed producer prices rose 0.6% last month, rebounding from June’s 0.2% drop and marking the largest gain since October 2018. A slump in Treasuries weighed on COMEX gold. The yellow metal fell 5.3% to $1,917.10/ounce, its worst one-day percentage decline since 2013. Also in the commodity space, WTI crude slipped 1% to $41.52/barrel, reversing an early session gain as a gauge of the U.S. dollar ended higher.

Financial Indexes Rose; Gold & Silver Index Fell Considerably
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +2.31%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.49%) were standout gainers on Tuesday. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.03%) posted a gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.53%) edged lower. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.16%) lost ground and the tech sector had a negative bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.38%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.11%) both outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.14%) to the downside. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -7.55%) was a standout decliner.

Below 50-Day Average After Slumping into Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Audiocodes Ltd (AUDC +$0.19 or +0.56% to $34.39) closed below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($34.70) again today following a damaging loss on the prior session. Weak action raised concerns and triggered a worrisome technical sell signal. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than 7-8% from their purchase price.

Weakness came after AUDC reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +45% on +8% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. However, it now has a strong earnings track record of 14 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

AUDC was highlighted in yellow in the 7/17/20 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents. This Israel-based designer of advanced voice-over-IP products was last shown in this FSU section on 7/17/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Resilient and High-Ranked VOIP Firm Rebounding Near Highs".Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

AUDC completed a new Public Offering on 6/08/20. Such offerings often hinder upward price progress for a brief period, yet they typically help companies attract greater ownership interest from the institutional crowd. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 33 in Mar '18 to 102 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of C and Sponsorship Rating of B. The small supply of 29.5 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
