Leadership Improved While Major Indices Were Little Changed

Stocks finished little changed on Monday. The Dow was down 3 points to 18120. The S&P 500 was unchanged at 2139 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 9 points to 5235. The volume totals were much lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 28 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange for a third consecutive session, an encouraging sign of improvement.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is still sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and below prior highs following damaging volume-driven losses.  

The major indices' charts have shown the worrisome look of a "correction", and the recently noted "healthy crop" of leading stocks has withered considerably.  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. Technical damage for the market (M criteria) remains while both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index have failed to rebounded from below their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway.  

The major averages pared early gains in a choppy session as oil prices climbed and investors mark time before the Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve policy meetings this week. According to Bloomberg data, futures are currently pricing a 20% probability of a rate hike at the conclusion of the Fed meeting on Wednesday. On the data front, the NAHB survey revealed homebuilder sentiment rose this month.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. In M&A news, Tech Data (TECD +22.30%) rose after agreeing to purchase Avnet’s (AVT +6.83%) Technology Solutions business unit for $2.4 billion. Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT +73.85%) surged with news the FDA approved its muscular dystrophy drug eteplirsen. In the consumer space, the new General Motors Company(GM +2.42%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary. Shares of WebMD (WBMD -5.68%) fell as the company announced the departure of its CEO by mutual agreement.

Treasuries declined along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 2/32 to yield 1.69%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.7% to $43.31/barrel amid reports that major oil-producing nations are nearing an agreement to stabilize crude output. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.3%.
