PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and 2015 high.

The "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria) endured more distributional pressure as the S&P 500 Index broke a five-month winning streak and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway.

The major averages fluctuated as investors positioned for tomorrow’s first-Friday jobs report. On the data front, Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing expanded to 52.0 in July, in-line with expectations. In a separate release, ISM’s manufacturing index yielded a 49.4 reading, contracting for the first time since February as new orders tumbled and factories cut jobs. Finally, new unemployment claims ticked up modestly to 263,000 last week, below expectations of 265,000.

Six out of eleven sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session in positive territory. Energy and Financials lagged while Telecom and Tech stocks outperformed. In earnings, Salesforce.com (CRM -4.42%) fell as the cloud software company reported weak billings growth. Shares of Campbell Soup (CPB -6.27%) fell after quarterly profit and revenue fell short of expectations. Wynn Resorts (WYNN +4.31%) after posting its first increase in monthly gaming revenue in two years.

Treasuries were mildly higher along the curve with benchmark 10-year note up 4/32 to yield 1.57%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 2.8% to a three-week low of $43.47/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.4% to $1313.40/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar weakened against the Euro and British pound.

Tech Sector Rose and Gold & Silver Index Led Group Gainers

Rebound to 50-Day Moving Average After Abrupt Drop to 200-Day Line

Maxlinear Inc (MXL +$0.35 or +1.83% to $19.52) has rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That important short-term average might act as a resistance level after damaging volume-driven losses. A convincing rebound above the 50 DMA line ($19.52) is needed for its outlook to improve. It found support at its 200 DMA line. That long-term average and prior lows in the $17 area define the next important support level where subsequent violations would raise serious concerns.

The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm was last shown in the FSU section on 7/29/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Near Highs Above its 'Max Buy' Level ", following volume-driven gains for new highs. It reported Jun '16 earnings +127% on +44% sales revenues versus the year-ago period marking its 5th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

Its small supply of only 54.5 million shares in the public float (S criteria) may contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 175 in Mar '15 to 327 in Jun '16, a very reassuring sign (I criteria). It currently has a Timeliness rating of A, and a Sponsorship Rating of D.
