Indices Rose With Higher Volume for a Mediocre Follow-Through Day
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 337 points, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.9% amid strength in Technology shares. The S&P 500 climbed 1.1%. All of the indices ended well off the session's early highs. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying demand behind the gains. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 12 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The volume totals were higher than the prior session while the major indices' gains were rather small, and new 52-week highs totals improved slightly on Nasdaq exchange but they were lower on the NYSE. It was not a very convincing follow-through day, but it may be considered enough to establish a new confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Further improvement in leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rose +1.14% with slightly higher volume on Day 4 of the new rally attempt. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
U.S. equities finished higher Tuesday as investors assessed a flurry of corporate earnings and fresh economic data. All sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory, with Industrials pacing gains.
On the data front, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index showed homebuilder sentiment declined more than expected in October. The report cited soaring mortgage rates dampening demand as the main driver behind the sharp decline in sentiment. Meanwhile, the September update on industrial production saw a 0.4% monthly gain, its third-month of increases, indicating business investment and consumer demand remain robust despite the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive interest rate hikes.
In corporate news, Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS +2.33%) reported better-than-expected profit and revenue in the third quarter, after trading results beat forecasts. The company has also announced they are reorganizing their corporate structure. Hasbro Inc (HAS -2.88%) fell after their third-quarter earnings missed estimates. The toy company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) cited increased price pressures due to high inflation as the reason behind the earnings miss.
Treasuries strengthened after a volatile session, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note shedding three basis points (0.03%) to 3.99%, while the 30-year bond yield was little changed at 4.02%. The two-year note dipped two basis points (0.02%) to 4.43%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 2.7% to $83.14/barrel amid growing concerns over global fuel demand.

Most Recent Note - 10/18/2022 5:04:13 PM
Y - Challenged its August high with today's volume-driven gain adding to a recent spurt. Highlighted in yellow in the 10/14/22 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 8/11/22 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $46 level. Reported Aug '22 quarterly earnings +94% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period and prior quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth has been strong.
