PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating near its record high after rallying above its 2015 peak.

Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria). See the Featured Stocks Pagewhich now lists a few noteworthy candidates that have made headway.

The major averages declined on the session Friday amid speculation on the timing of an interest rate increase. According to Bloomberg data, futures are currently pricing 52.4% probability of a rate hike by December, 5% above odds on Thursday morning. In Fed news, San Francisco Fed President John Williams stated Thursday afternoon that the central bank should move to raise rates “sooner rather than later.”

Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. In M&A news, Emerson Electric (EMR -3.09%) fell after the company agreed to acquire Pentair Plc’s (PNR -1.11%) valves and controls business for $3.15 billion. Estee Lauder (EL -3.54%) fell as the cosmetics maker’s revenue missed estimates. In the consumer space, Gap (GPS +3.90%) was higher as the apparel retailer’s profit beat Wall Street expectations. Foot Locker (FL +11.04%) rallied after reporting a 4.7% increase in same-store sales. Deere & Co (DE +13.49%) rose as the company raised its full-year profit forecast.

Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 13/32 to yield 1.58%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 0.6% to $48.52/barrel. COMEX gold fell 0.8% to $1340.40/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index advanced 0.3%.
