Small Losses for Major Indices With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly lower on Thursday. The Dow was down 12 points to 18268. The S&P 500 added 1 point to 2160 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 9 points to 5306. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by 4-3 on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 34 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Index is consolidating near its record high and well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The recent move into new high territory for the Nasdaq Composite Index was noted as a sign of technical strength in the market (M criteria) reassuring investors. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have still been sputtering below their 50 DMA lines. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages fluctuated in a choppy session as investors look ahead to Friday's non-farm labor report. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 249,000, below the reported 254,000 in the previous week. In M&A news, ICU Medical (ICUI +14.86%) after agreeing to acquire Hospira Infusion Systems from Pfizer (PFE -0.74%) for $1 billion.
Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced on the session. Financials outperformed with MetLife (MET +2.52%) rising amid reports the company plans to spin off its U.S. life insurance business to existing shareholders. American Express (AXP -3.76%) sank after being the subject of negative analyst commentary. In Health Care, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY -48.49%) plunged after the biotech ended development of its late-stage experimental drug due to safety concerns. Shares of Twitter (TWTR -20.10%) tumbled with news Alphabet’s (GOOG +0.05%) Google unit is not interested in acquiring the social media giant.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 11/32 to yield 1.74%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 1.3% to $50.47/barrel. COMEX gold fell 1% to $1252.00/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index climbed 0.6%, amid heightened rate hike speculation. |

Y - Quietly holding its ground. New pivot point was recently cited based on its 8/29/16 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent lows and its 50 DMA line define near term support to watch on pullbacks.

Recent lows ($34.18 on 9/09/16) define important near-term support where further deterioration would raise greater concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.
