Major Averages Ended Mixed on Indecisive Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday. The Dow was up 15 points to 18144. The S&P 500 added 2 points to 2139 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 7 points to 5239. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 15 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 13 on the prior session. New 52-week highs barely outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange for the second consecutive session.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index edged below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with losses on higher volume than was behind latest gain.

Recent deterioration in the charts of the major averages (M criteria) and waning leadership (fewer stocks hitting new highs) are signs that the uptrend is under pressure yet again. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance near their respective 50 DMA lines and abruptly retreated near prior lows. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages fluctuated in a choppy trading session after the Federal Reserve released the minutes from its September FOMC meeting. The release showed that Fed officials were divided over the timing of an interest rate increase. Three policy makers dissented, preferring to raise rates, which was the most since 2014. On the data front, a JOLTS update revealed job openings declined more than projected in August to the lowest level this year.

Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Technology shares outperformed with Barracuda Networks (CUDA +9.17%) rose as quarterly revenue beat Wall Street estimates. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +1.85%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary. On the M&A front, Stanley Black & Decker (SWK +2.88%) after agreeing to acquire Newell Brands’ (NWL +2.15%) tool business for $1.95 billion. Elsewhere in the Tech space, LM Ericsson (ERIC -20.83%) tumbled as the company posted lower-than-expected quarterly sales. Fortinet (FTNT -10.06%) fell after the cybersecurity firm reported disappointing preliminary third-quarter results.

Treasuries finished modestly lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 3/32 to yield 1.77%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.1% to $50.24/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.2%.
