Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow rose 151 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.6%. U.S. equities are coming off another positive week, as recent signs of softer inflation buoyed sentiment. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite notched weekly gains of 3.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Both benchmarks capped a four-week winning streak, their best run since November 2021. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a hint that institutional buying demand was lackluster. Advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 48 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 4th consecutive gain with lighter volume and closed just above its downward sloping 200 DMA line.

U.S. equities closed higher on Monday despite disappointing updates out of China clouding the outlook for global economic growth. Overseas, the latest reports showed China’s retail sales, investment, and industrial production all fell short of estimates in July, while the nation’s central bank unexpectedly slashed key interest rates. A gauge of the U.S. dollar advanced 0.8% after last week weathering its sharpest five-day decline since May (-1.1%). The stronger greenback and demand concerns pressured oil prices. West Texas Intermediate crude retreated 3.5% to $88.89/barrel after earlier dipping to its lowest point in more than six months.

On the domestic data front, a measure of homebuilder sentiment fell for an eighth straight month to the lowest level since May 2020. Separately, the empire manufacturing survey unexpectedly dipped to -31.3 in August, the second-worst print on record. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down four basis points (0.04%) to 2.80%.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with the more traditionally defensive Consumer Staples and Utilities groups pacing gains. Growth-related pockets also outperformed, with Consumer Discretionary and Technology among the standouts. Tomorrow, investors will assess an earnings report from Walmart Inc., (WMT +0.29%) which will be closely scrutinized as it could shed light on several macroeconomic trends.

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

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.71%) posted a modest gain while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) finished flat and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.20%) inched lower. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.19%) led the Networking Index ($NWX +0.80%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.31%). Meanwhile, commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.25%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.31%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.86%) each lost ground.

Churned Heavy Volume Perched at High After 6 Straight Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK -$0.01 or -0.04% to $23.28) paused today at its 52-week high after posting 6 consecutive gains as it rose above the pivot point triggering a technical buy signal. It was highlighted in yellow in the 7/26/22 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 6/06/22 high plus 10 cents (read here). However, it has made very little headway since last shown in this FSU section on 7/27/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Negative Reversal After Matching 52-Week High".

GPK has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Earnings rose +108% on +36% sales revenues for the Jun '22 quarter versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good since a downturn in FY '16 and '17, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).

The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 51st on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a B+ Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 636 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +34% on -2% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
