Major Indices Were Mixed With Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow advanced 160 points, and now sits within 0.2% from erasing its year-to-date losses. The S&P 500 gained 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite reversed early session gains to end 0.3% lower. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was mixed as advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by a narrow 9-8 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 45 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 62 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and 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 S&P 600 Small Cap Index is consolidating -13.5% off its record high hit in January.
The Stocks finished mixed on Thursday, with the S&P 500 notching its fifth consecutive record level. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s perceived dovish remarks during the virtual Jackson Hole symposium was in focus. His speech shed light on the central bank’s policy framework review, with the Fed chief explaining that policymakers would tolerate higher inflation to support the labor market, potentially resulting in a “lower-for-longer” rate environment.
On the data front, initial jobless claims tallied 1 million in the week ended August 22. The revised print of second-quarter GDP showed the contraction in the U.S. economy eased modestly to a 31.7% annualized pace in the April-June period from the originally-reported 32.9% decline. Separately, pending home sales rose 5.9% in July to the highest level since 2005. The Treasury yield curve steepened, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis points to 0.74% and the 30-year bond rate jumping nine basis points to 1.50%. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 0.9% to $43.00/barrel, while COMEX gold lost 1% to $1,921.60/ounce.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. The Financials group paced the gains with JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +3.29%) rising. In earnings, Dollar Tree (DLTR -7.21%) slid despite delivering a top and bottom line beat. In other corporate news, Abbott Laboratories (ABT +7.85%) rallied after gaining the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval for a portable 15-minute coronavirus test.

Financial Indexes Posted Influential Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Gains from the financial indexes helped to underpin the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.02%) and Bank Index ($BKX +2.39%) both rose, but the Retail Index ($RLX -1.13%) pulled back and created a drag. The tech sector also had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.34%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.09%) both lost ground while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.16%) eked out a tiny gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.00%) lagged as it suffered a larger loss, meanwhile the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.20%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.16%) were mixed and little changed.
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +2.39%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Volume Totals Cooling While Still Hovering Near Record High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Trade Desk Inc Cl A (TTD -$6.94 or -1.44% to $474.10) has seen its volume totals cooling in recent weeks while still stubbornly holding its ground perched near its all-time high. Recently it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on -13% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns. It is extended from any sound base of sufficient length. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($445.39) defines near-term support above the prior low ($404 on 7/24/20) where violations may trigger technical sell signals.
TTD traded up as much as +50% since highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/07/20 high in the 6/03/20 mid-day report (read here). The Comml Svcs-Advertising firm was last shown in this FSU section on 8/12/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hovering Near High After Latest Quarterly Report Raised Concerns".
Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, and it has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 280 in Mar '18 to 749 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are only 46.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |
