Indices Fall as Distributional Pressure Remains a Concern

Stocks finished lower on Tuesday. The Dow was down 53 points to 18169. The S&P 500 lost 8 points to 2143 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 26 points to 5283. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of distributional pressure. Decliners led advancers by 3-2 on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows slightly led new highs on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index halted its slide near prior lows but remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Gains above that important short-term average are needed for its outlook to improve.

Recent deterioration in the charts of the major averages (M criteria) and less leadership (fewer stocks hitting new highs) are signs that the uptrend is under pressure. 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.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages declined on the session as investors digested mixed corporate earnings reports. Shares of 3M Co. (MMM -2.94%) were down as the company lowered its full-year guidance. Caterpillar (CAT -1.76%) fell after the heavy equipment maker’s revenue fell short of Street forecasts. On the data front, consumer sentiment fell to a three-month low in October, below analyst expectations. Separately, the Case-Shiller Index showed U.S. home prices increased 5.1% year-over-year in August.

Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. In the consumer space, Under Armour (UA -13.22%) fell amid news the apparel retailer is expanding at slowest pace since 2009. The new General Motors Company (GM -4.18%) fell despite reporting record net income in the third-quarter. Shares of Procter & Gamble (PG +3.41%) gained ground as organic sales increased for the quarter. In Tech, Nielsen (NLSN -16.89%) fell after reducing forward EPS outlook. Baker Hughes (BHI +4.30%) rose as the company boosted its annual savings forecast to $650 million.

Treasuries finished mostly higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 2/32 to yield 1.75%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.4% to $49.84/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.8% to $1271.90/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.1%.

Still Building on New Base Pattern

China Lodging Group Ads (HTHT +$0.28 or +0.62% to $45.28) has been quietly consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($45.12) and above its prior low ($43.50 on 9/12/16) which defines near term support. Damaging violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. 

HTHT was last shown in this FSU section on 9/20/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Possibly Forming New Base While Holding Ground Near Highs".  It has traded up as much as +22.7% since first featured in yellow in the 7/13/16 mid-day report (read here). Gains for another new 52-week high (N criteria) may signal the beginning of another substantial leg up. 

Recently it reported earnings +71% on +6% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record of increases greater than +25% versus the year-ago periods. The number of top-rated funds owing its shares rose from 87 in Sep '15 to 138 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Currently the high-ranked Leisure- Lodging firm has a B Timeliness rating and a D Sponsorship rating. Its small supply of 27 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
