Major Indices Ended Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
There was little change for the S&P 500 (+0.01%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.1%), Russell 2000 (-0.1%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.1%). The volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 7-6 margin on the NYSE and by a narrower 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, matching the total 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 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.
Stocks had a muted response to the ADP Employment Change Report for September, which didn't impact the market's thinking on soft landing scenario for the economy. Payroll growth was decent (143,000), wage inflation moderated, hiring was seen in both the goods and service-providing sectors, and across all geographic regions. The consumer discretionary sector was the worst performer, closing -0.8% lower due in part to a solid loss in NIKE (NKE -6.77%), which reported fiscal Q1 results and withdrew its FY25 guidance. Humana (HUM -11.79%) was another losing standout after reporting that only 25% of its members are enrolled in 4-star plans and above, versus 94% in 2024.
The S&P 500 information technology sector (+0.6%) and the energy sector (+1.1%) closed higher. WTI crude oil futures settled 0.7% higher at $70.20/bbl.

Most Recent Note - 10/2/2024 5:26:07 PM
Slumped further below its 50 DMA line ($95.99) with today's loss backed by heavier volume and it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. 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.
