Dow and S&P 500 Index Rally to New Record Highs

The S&P 500 (+0.7%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.0%) rallied to new record highs. The volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, action indicative of less institutional accumulation. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE but by a narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 80 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 62 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and near its all-time high.

There were gains for 28 of the 30 Dow components. Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. Alphabet (GOOG -1.59%) sputtered following news that the Department of Justice is considering a breakup of Google.

The health care (+1.0%) and information technology (+1.0%) sectors were the best gainers. Meanwhile, the rate-sensitive real estate sector (-0.9%) suffered the largest decline as yields rose. 

The 10-yr yield settled three basis points higher at 4.06% and the 2-yr yield settled three basis points higher at 4.01%
