Major Indices Rose Again With Less Volume Conviction

The S&P 500 (+0.5%) and Nasdaq Composite (+0.7%) posted modest gains while the Russell 2000 outperformed, jumping +2.5%. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 79 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 33 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a 5th consecutive gain, making steady progress above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward its all-time high. 

The belief that the economy is headed for a soft landing was supported by the preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey for September showing that year-ahead expectations for personal finances and the economy both improved.

The 10-yr note yield settled three basis points lower at 3.65%. The 2-yr note yield settled seven basis points lower at 3.58%. Signaling optimism that the Fed may cut rates 50 basis points next week, the probability of a 25 basis points rate cut dropped to 53.0% from 72.0% yesterday, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher led by utilities (+1.4%) and communication services (+1.0%). A decline in shares of Boeing (BA -3.7%) acted as a limiting factor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.7%) after news that its machinists union voted by 96% in favor of striking.
