Major Averages Fell With Less Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 fell 1.1%, posting its biggest two-day drop in a month. The Dow lost 382 points, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.9%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of less distributional pressure or institutional selling. Breadth remained negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 32 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 27 on the prior session. New 52-week highs barely outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, meanwhile new lows outnumbered new highs for a 5th consecutive session 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 S&P 500 Index is pulled back from its record high.

U.S. stocks finished lower on Wednesday as investors digested the Federal Reserve’s July meeting minutes. The release indicated that the majority of FOMC officials felt comfortable dialing back monetary stimulus sometime this year as the U.S. economy had made “substantial further progress” toward its price stability and labor market goals.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary the sole advancing group amid generally strong earnings. Lowe’s (LOW +9.57%) rose, its best single-session percentage gain since March 2020, as the home improvement retailer lifted its full-year revenue guidance. TJX Companies (TJX +6.02%) rallied following upbeat results that included the reinstatement of its share buyback program. Target (TGT -2.79%) bucked the uptrend in the sector, slipping as a slowdown in sales growth overshadowed an otherwise positive report. In other corporate news, shares of COVID-19 vaccine producers were mixed despite an announcement that booster shots would be widely distributed in the U.S. next month. Elsewhere, ViacomCBS (VIAB 3.7%) rose on the heels of an analyst upgrade.

Treasuries weakened modestly, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 1.27%. On the data front, housing starts fell a worse-than-anticipated 7% in July, ending a three-month streak of gains. Separately, building permits rebounded a stronger-than-expected 2.6% last month. In commodities, WTI crude dropped below $65.00/barrel for the first time since May, posting a fifth consecutive decline amid a surprise buildup in weekly U.S. gasoline inventories.

Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Financials had a negative bias as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.39%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.93%) both slumped. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.10%) held its ground, but the tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.48%), Biotech Index ($BTK -1.48%), and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.86%). Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.73%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.24%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.10%) to the downside.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -0.10%) is sputtering after its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The big gap down on 7/30/21 was action directly attributed to the great influence of Amazon (AMZN). The chart below shows AMZN now slipping below its 200 DMA line. Thankfully some other leading retailers are not as weak.

Latest Earnings Report Missed the +25% Minimum Guideline
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Synopsys Inc (SNPS-$0.99 or -0.34% to $290.63) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/16/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It has been challenging its all-time high with recent gains.

SNPS reported Jul '21 quarterly results after today's close. The Jul '21 quarter showed only a +4% earnings increase versus the year ago period, raising some fundamental concerns. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. It had last reported earnings +39% on +19% sales revenues for the Apr '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

Disciplined investors might choose another buy candidate, however, the high-ranked COMPUTER SOFTWARE and SERVICES firm may still be worth keeping an eye on. Technically, subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,993 in Sep '20 to 2,198 in Jun '21, 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. It has a Timeliness Rating of C and Sponsorship Rating of B.
