Major Averages Posted Solid Gains With Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 748 points to end the week 4.9% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.3% to notch a 5.2% weekly gain. The S&P 500 rose 2.4% and climbed 4.7% this week. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 10 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The volume totals on Friday's session were higher than the prior session while the major indices posted solid gains and the new 52-week highs total improved slightly on NYSE. The follow-through day helped establish a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy 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 posted a solid gain with higher volume on Day 7 of the rally. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
U.S. equities finished higher Friday following reports the Federal Reserve (Fed) may implement a smaller rate increase at the December meeting. All S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory this week, with Energy leading gains.
In earnings news, Verizon Communications Inc fell 4.5% after reporting a slip in earnings and its third-straight quarter of subscriber loss. Social media company Snap Inc (SNAP -28.08%) dove lower after missing earnings and revenue estimates and reporting its slowest sales growth since going public. American Express Co (AXP -1.7%) fell despite reporting record earnings and revenue and raising their full-year outlook. The company reported they have increased the amount of money set aside for potential consumer defaults, which has incited concern over climbing interest rates and a potential recession.
Treasuries finished mixed amid reports the Fed is concerned about overtightening monetary policy. The yield on the 10-year note dipped one basis point (0.01%) to 4.22% after hitting a 14-year high yesterday, while the 30-year bond yield climbed 10 basis points (0.10%) to 4.33%. The more policy-sensitive two-year note yield shed 13 basis points (0.13%) to 4.48%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 0.8% to $85.18/barrel as market participants weighed optimism over demand against recessionary concerns. Despite today’s gains, WTI crude fell 0.5% this week. The domestic benchmark has been whipsawed in recent weeks as markets assess tight supply conditions against a darkening economic outlook.
