Major Indices Under Pressure as "Risk Off" Mood Hits Stocks

The S&P 500 fell 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 2.2%, with both benchmarks notching their biggest one-day drops since May. Notably, the S&P 500 finished below its 50-day moving average for a second straight session, snapping its longest such streak of avoiding back-to-back closings below that widely watched technical level since 1996. The Dow dropped 614 points, paring a more than 900 point slump but still suffering its worst performance since July and turning negative for the quarter. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, after Friday's totals were inflated by options expirations. Decliners led advancers by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership evaporated as there were only 3 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 30 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) have seen their uptrend come under recent pressure, and Monday's session had the look of a more serious market correction.  Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with its 9th loss in the span of 11 sessions.
 
U.S. stocks ended firmly lower on Monday as contagion worries related to China’s battered real estate market incited a perceived “risk off” mood. The major averages came off session lows, however, as investors seemed to “buy the dip.” 

Attention was on China’s property developer Evergrande Group, which has over $300 billion in debt and is now nearing default on a portion coming due this Thursday. Investors are concerned that a fallout could spread to other parts of the global financial market. Perceived safe haven assets caught a bid, with the yield on the 10-year note down six basis points to 1.31%. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)--Wall Street’s so-called "fear gauge"--settled above 25, the highest level since May. This week, focus will be on the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting, with officials widely anticipated to strongly hint at a tapering announcement.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with eight groups losing more than 1%. Energy stocks lagged, with WTI crude down 1.6% to $70.85/barrel. Financials slid more than 2% as falling Treasury yields weighed on banks.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell

Widespread losses weighed on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.70%), Bank Index ($BKX -2.92%), and Retail Index ($RLX -2.40%) each lost ground.  The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.42%) led the tech sector lower while the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.61%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.24%) also lost ground. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.35%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.45%) both outpaced the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.94%) to the downside.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -1.24%) slumped below the prior low and toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Rallying Near High After Brief Consolidation Below 200 DMA Line

Brooks Automation (BRKS +$8.31 or +8.83% to $102.45) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 4/27/21 high plus 10 cents (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least 40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It nearly challenged its 52-week high with today's big volume-driven gain. It rebounded after a slump below its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/07/21.

Fundamentals remain strong since BRKS was last shown in this FSU section on 6/03/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line and Prior High". It reported earnings +125% on +43% sales revenues for the Jun '21 quarter versus the year ago period, marking its 8th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) included a downturn in FY '18. Its current Earnings Per Share Rating is 96, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

The Electronics - Semiconductor Equipment group is ranked 46th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds that own BRKS shares has risen from 454 in Jun '20 to 634 in Jun '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Also, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 74.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
