Major Averages Rebounded With Less Volume and Thin Leadership

Stocks finished firmly higher on Monday. The Dow was up 239 points to 18325. The S&P 500 added 31 points to 2159 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 85 points to 5211. Behind the gains the volume totals were lighter than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as only 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from 71 last Wednesday. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered shrinking lists of new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange, raising more concerns regarding the recently deteriorating market environment.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index chart shows that there was heavier volume behind Friday's damaging losses. Monday's gain helped it promptly rebound above its short-term moving average.

The major indices' charts have shown the worrisome look of a "correction", and the recently noted "healthy crop" of leading stocks abruptly dried up. Very few stocks reached new 52-week highs on Friday or Monday.  In periods of market weakness the fact-based investment system suggests reducing exposure to stocks as they weaken and on a case-by-case basis. ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway. Technical damage for the market (M criteria) still remains after Monday's bounce, as both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index remain below their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. 

The major averages rebounded from Friday’s sell-off amid tempered concerns of a September interest rate hike. Fed Governor Lael Brainard stated Monday while economic progress continues, it would be wise for the central bank to keep monetary policy loose. Brainard said that the case to preemptively hike rates is less compelling and offered cautionary tones in the Fed moving too fast. According to Bloomberg data, futures are currently pricing a 20% probability of a rate hike in September versus 30% odds after Friday’s market sell-off.

All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Telecom stocks rallied 2% higher with AT&T (T +2.52%). Consumer Staples shares advanced with Phillip Morris (PM +3.18%) up after being the subject of positive analyst commentary. Pandora Media (P +4.92%) rose with news the company may announce a $5/month streaming service this week. Polaris (PII -5.01%) was a notable decliner as the recreational vehicle manufacturer lowered its yearly sales guidance.

Treasuries finished mostly higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 2/32 to yield 1.67%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 0.4% to $46.07/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.3% to $1327.10/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.2%.

Stubbornly Holding Ground Near All-Time High

Inogen Inc (INGN +$0.99 or +1.71% to $58.99) posted a gain with light volume today. It remains near its 52-week high, stubbornly holding its ground. INGN was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/14/15 high plus 10 cents in 8/05/16 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/05/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Within Striking Distance of Highs Following Rebound". It has made limited progress since its 8/09/16 volume-driven gain triggered a technical buy signal. 

The Dec '15, Mar and Jun '16 quarters showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sales revenues growth has been in the +24-39% range, a reassuring sign of increasing demand for its new products and services (N criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 114 in Sep '14 to 317 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 15.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. it is up considerably from its $16 IPO on 2/14/14 followed by a Secondary Offering on 10/30/14.
