Major Indices Rebound Further With Big Gains on Higher Volume

Stocks finished firmly higher on Wednesday. The Dow was up 163 points to 18293. The S&P 500 added 23 points to 2163 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 53 points to 5295. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 19 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rebounded with higher volume behind its gain. It remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which may act as resistance 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 rallied late in the session after Federal Reserve officials signaled a strong indication that rates could increase before the end of the year. The central bank left the benchmark interest rate unchanged amid mixed economic growth and below-target inflation. Overseas, the Bank of Japan kept its benchmark interest rate in negative territory but will aim to push yields on long-term government bonds higher.

All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory with Energy shares leading the advance. In earnings, FedEx (FDX +6.89%) rallied as the delivery services company posted better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue. Shares of Adobe (ADBE +7.12%) rose after providing upbeat current-quarter guidance. In the consumer space, Target (TGT +1.24%) rose amid news the retailer announced a $5 billion stock repurchase program. Carmax (KMX -2.04%) fell after citing a slowdown in showroom traffic. American Airlines (AAL -1.37%) was a notable decliner after being the subject of negative analyst commentary.

Treasuries finished higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 8/32 to yield 1.66%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 3.4% to $45.55/barrel. COMEX gold gained 1.5% to $1333.10/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.5%

Extended From Prior Base After +37% Rally Since Featured 6/29/16

Netease Inc (NTES +5.40% or +2.21% to $249.54) is perched at all-time highs today, very extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average  (DMA) line ($211) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks. NTES was last shown in this FSU section on 8/18/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pulled Back on Higher Volume Following Earnings Report", as it pulled back with above average volume. It reported earnings +89% on +83% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record and marking its 4th consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth also has been strong.

Since shown in this FSU section on 6/29/16 the Computer Software - gaming group has seen its Group Relative Strength Rating of rise to 97 from 37, a reassuring improvement regarding the L criteria. NTES has traded up as much +37.8% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/29/15 high plus 10 cents in the 6/29/16 mid-day report (read here). 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 467 in Jun '15 to 787 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
