Major Indices Ended Mixed With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 40,000 for the first time, gaining +0.3% Friday. The S&P 500 (+0.1%) also closed with a gain and the Nasdaq Composite (-0.1%) settled slightly lower. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE while decliners edged out advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 89 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).

Amazon.com (AMZN +0.6%) also closed higher.

The 10-yr note yield settled four basis points higher at 4.42%. The 2-ry note yield rose three basis points to 4.82%.
