Major Indices Fell to Start Q4 Heading Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The market-cap weighted S&P 500 declined 0.9% after being down as much as 1.8%. The volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 56 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 51 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating after rebounding within striking distance of its all-time high.
Initial reports indicated that the White House was concerned about a potential Iranian strike on Israel. This concern materialized, but subsequent reports suggested that most of Iran's missiles were destroyed by Israel's defense system.
The price action in equities, bonds, and commodities reflected uncertainty around the situation in the Middle East, but also reflected some relief that today's attacks by Iran were largely unsuccessful.
The 10-yr note yield settled six basis points lower at 3.74%. WTI crude oil futures traded above $71.00/bbl at their highs, but settled at $69.74/bbl.
A sizable decline in shares of Apple (AAPL -2.9%) after Barclays suggested iPhone 16 demand is sluggish also clipped index performance. This price action weighed down the S&P 500 information technology sector (-2.7%), along with declines in Microsoft (MSFT -2.2%) and NVIDIA (NVDA -3.7%). |

Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers as Bank and Semi Indexes Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.26%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.13%) both ended slightly lower while the Bank Index ($BKX -1.93%) suffered a larger loss. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.86%) created a big drag while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.82%) suffered a smaller loss and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.00%) finished flat. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.61%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.79%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.39%) each posted solid gains.
PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -0.82%) pulled back from its 2024 high.

Hovering Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Granite Construction (GVA) posted a 3rd consecutive gain today, hovering near its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($72.76) and prior low in the $70 area define important near-term support levels to watch on pullbacks.
GVA was highlighted on the 6/11/24 mid-day report as it was noted that a valid secondary buy point exists up to +5% above the recent high after finding support at its 10 WMA line following a prior breakout. It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/30/24 with an annotated graph under the headline "Granite Contruction Closes at All-Time High".
Granite Construction has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported solid earnings increases backed by accelerating sales revenues growth in the Jun, Sep, Dec '23, Mar and Jun '24 quarters versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady.
GVA hails from the Bldg-Heavy Construction group which is currently ranked 20th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a small supply of only 43.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 401 in Jun '23 to 420 in Sep '24. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Slumped further below its 50 DMA line ($96.15) with today's loss backed by +31% above-average volume. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $110 area.
