Major Indices Edged Lower With Less Leadership

For the week, the Dow and Nasdaq Composite were both down 0.4% and the S&P 500 declined 0.7%. The Dow, which declined as much as 119 points, closed 28 lower at 18240. The S&P 500 fell 7 points to 2153 and the Nasdaq Composite retreated 14 points to 5292. The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than 2-1 on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 29 on the prior session.  New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as resistance.

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.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

Stocks pared losses to finish down modestly Friday. The major averages ended in negative territory following an update on the labor market. Before the open, a report showed non-farm payrolls rose 156,000 in September, less than a projected 172,000 increase. The unemployment rate edged up to 5.0% last month from 4.9% in August. Despite the lower-than-expected payroll figure, investors appeared to view the job market strong enough for the Fed to raise interest rates by year end. Futures are currently pricing a 64% chance for tightening at the December FOMC meeting, according to Bloomberg data.

Materials and Industrials were down the most on the session. PPG Industries (PPG -8.28%) after the paint maker pre-announced quarterly results below forecasts. Honeywell (HON -7.50%) fell after reducing its guidance. Health Care and Financials were the best performing groups. Drug maker Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +0.41%). Insurer Chubb (CB 2.09%).

Treasuries were little changed with the 10-year up 4/32 to yield 1.72%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.7% to $49.59/barrel. COMEX gold slipped 0.1% to $1248.90/ounce.
