Weak Action Raises Concerns of a Greater Market Correction

The S&P 500 fell 1.2%, its fourth consecutive decline and longest losing streak since February. The broad benchmark index briefly dipped into negative year-to-date territory during intraday trading, ending 8.4% below its most recent all-time high notched on September 2. The Dow slumped 509 points, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped just 0.1% as Tech shares outperformed. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 4-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership evaporated as there was only 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 17 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are showing action indicative of a market correction (M criteria). In weak markets it is considered critical to reduce exposure and sell faltering stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward its 200 DMA with recent volume-driven losses.

Stocks finished lower on Monday, extending September’s sell-off as a confluence of factors added to market uncertainty. Treasuries strengthened amid the perceived “risk off” tone, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 0.67%. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar posted its best day since June.

Concerns of a resurgence in global COVID-19 cases weighed on sentiment, while political tensions in Washington also contributed to the downbeat mood. Negotiations over additional fiscal stimulus are expected to be further complicated after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg created an unexpected vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the Technology group bucking the downtrend. The more cyclical and value-oriented stocks performed the worst, with Energy shares lagging amid a decline in oil prices. WTI crude slid nearly 4%, back below $40.00/barrel. Financials were also pressured after news articles alleged several major global banks of continuing to work with customers despite suspecting money laundering activities. In M&A news, President Trump agreed in concept to a deal in which Oracle (ORCL +1.79%) and Walmart (WMT +1.32%) would partner with TikTok to form a U.S.-based company, though later reports indicated he could rescind such approval.

Commodity-Linked Groups and Financial Indexes Led Decliners

Big losses for the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.14%) and Bank Index ($BKX -3.85%) weighed on the major indices. The Biotech Index ($BTK -2.54%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.47%) both outpaced the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.28%) to the downside. Commodity-linked groups were big decliners as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -6.91%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -3.68%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -4.45%) each suffered large losses.

G - Posted a gain today with above average volume. Still perched near its all-time high after falling back below prior highs in the $221 area. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($208.94) after volume-driven losses. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Recently reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance.
