Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Revealing Lackluster Demand
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 rose 1.1%, rebounding from a four day decline that had marked its longest losing streak since February. However, the benchmark index is off more than 7% from its all-time high notched in early September, and is on pace for its first monthly decline since March. The Dow added 140 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.7%. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE while the mix was nearly even on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of only 1 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have been 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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain with lighter volume, rebounding toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after damaging volume-driven losses.
Stocks finished higher Tuesday as investors bought the dip despite cautionary commentary from the Federal Reserve. In a speech on Capitol Hill today, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the economy has a long way to go before fully recovering. He also noted that the Fed is open to more relaxed rules for financial institutions during the pandemic and reiterated the central bank’s support to help the economy fully recover.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory. Consumer Discretionary shares paced the gains, with Amazon (AMZN +5.69%) rose on the heels of an analyst upgrade. In other corporate news, Carvana (CVNA +30.61%) rallied for a best-ever close after the car retailer forecasted a break even third quarter amid record sales. Elsewhere, Comcast (CMCSA +3.38%) after an activist investor took a $900 million dollar stake in the company, calling shares undervalued.
On the data front, existing home sales rose 2.4% in August, in-line with forecasts and slowing from July’s 24.7% jump. Separately, an update showed manufacturing activity in the Richmond Fed region unexpectedly improved in September. Treasuries fluctuated, with the yield on the 10-year note unchanged at 0.67%. In commodities, WTI crude oil rose 0.7% to $39.60/barrel, stabilizing from yesterday’s decline of nearly 4.0%. |

Retail, Tech Sector, and Gold & Silver Index Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices were helped by a solid gain from the Retail Index ($RLX +3.64%) while the Bank Index ($BKX -2.34%) suffered a solid loss and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.42%) also lost ground. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.21%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.82%), and Biotech Index ($BTK +0.92%) posted unanimous gains. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.48%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.74%) both lost ground while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.53%) edged higher. PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK +0.92%) is consolidating near its 200-day moving average (DMA)) line where it recently found support.

Featured Stocks
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Charles River Labs Intl (CRL)
showed resilience this week and rebounded near its all-time high with 3 consecutive gains. It found prompt support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($205.04) after a spurt of volume-driven losses. Subsequent losses leading to a violation of the 50 DMA line and prior low ($197.33 on 9.04/20) may raise greater concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
Recently it raised fundamental concerns after it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but the results were better than expected and the company also raised its guidance. It now has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating, down from 96 prior to the report. The 2 prior quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
It hails from the Medical - Research Equipment/Services industry group which has an 74 Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 681 in Dec '19 to 755 in Jun '20, and its Up/Down Volume Ratio is 1.3, an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. There is a small number of only 49.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

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.
