Major Indices Showed Indecisive Action and Thin Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended slightly lower. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE while the mix was near even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 4 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered thin new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a new rally is confirmed by a solid follow-through day.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has slumped toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
Stocks languished despite a modest drop in yields. The major indices were able to close well off their lows of the day, albeit with modest declines. Buyers were seemingly hesitant in front of the September jobs report due Friday, Treasuries saw the 10-yr note yield finish at 4.71% while the 2-yr note yield ended up settling the session six basis points lower at 5.03%.
Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered declines. The consumer staples sector (-2.1%) was the worst performer by a wide margin due in part to a big loss in Clorox (CLX -5.23%) following its disappointing guidance. The materials sector (-1.3%) was the next worst performer. The real estate (+0.7%), health care (+0.5%), financials (+0.4%), and information technology (+0.3%) sectors ended in the green at the close.
WTI crude oil futures extended their losses by dropping another -2.9% to $82.29/bbl. That weakness, along with the decline in Exxon Mobil (XOM -2.25%), drove the underperformance of the energy sector (-0.6%).
