Major Indices Pulled Back Following Solid Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow was up 0.8%, the S&P added 1.2%, and the Nasdaq gained 1.2%. Stocks finished lower on Friday. The Dow was down 130 points to 18261. The S&P 500 lost 12 points to 2164 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 33 points to 5305. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 58 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 58 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The S&P 500 Index slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Friday. Recent technical strength in the market (M criteria) was noted as a reassuring sign for investors who may be considering new buy candidates in the days and weeks ahead. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates.
The S&P 500 snapped a three day winning-streak amid a retreat in Energy shares and Technology stocks. NYMEX WTI crude declined 3.5% to $44.70/barrel, following a report that Saudi Arabia does not expect an agreement at next week’s OPEC meeting aimed to freeze production. On the data front, a Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing expanded to 51.4 in September, slightly below expectations.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Technology stocks retreated with Apple (AAPL -1.67%) amid iPhone 7 sales concerns. Facebook (FB -1.63%) after the social media giant overestimated average viewing time for its video ads. Shares of Yahoo (YHOO -3.06%) as the company confirmed over 500 million accounts were hacked in 2014. In M&A news, Twitter (TWTR +21.42%) rose amid reports the company is moving closer to a sale and may receive a formal bid. Bats Global Markets (BATS +19.86%) with news the exchange operator is in talks to be acquired by CBOE Holdings. (CBOE +1.28%).
Treasuries finished mostly higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 1/32 to yield 1.61%. In commodities, COMEX gold slipped 0.2% to $1338.00/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar gained 0.8% against the British pound.
