Leadership Improved With Volume Lighter Behind Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both closed at new record levels, rising 0.2% each and extending their winning streak to five sessions. The Dow added 39 points for its fourth straight advance. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating lackluster institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 86 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 50 on the prior session. Stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average remains near its record high after testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Wednesday, with risk assets buoyed by positive COVID-19 headlines. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -0.66%) edged lower after reporting that its coronavirus booster shot notably increased antibodies for recipients in an early trial, while overall inoculation rates are anticipated to improve following the formal FDA-approval of Pfizer’s (PFE -1.78%) vaccine. Also supporting the mood, House Democratic lawmakers agreed on a $3.5 trillion budget framework, paving the way for negotiations on a reconciliation bill.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Financials outperforming amid an uptick in Treasury yields. In earnings, Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS +13.30%) rallied following upbeat results that included stronger forecasts, a quarterly dividend increase, along with a special dividend payout. Meanwhile, Nordstrom (JWN -17.64%) fell despite a top and bottom line beat and improved guidance, as shares were pressured by an analyst downgrade and concerns that sales remained below pre-pandemic levels. In other corporate news, Western Digital Corp. (WDC +7.80%) rose on reports the chipmaker was in advanced discussions to combine with Japan’s Kioxia Holdings.

Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis points to 1.34%, a nearly two-week high. On the data front, a preliminary reading on capital goods orders unexpectedly stalled in July, while capital goods shipments rose a better-than-expected 1% during the period. In commodities, WTI crude gained 1.1% to $68.31/barrel.
