Major Indices Notched Gains With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow added 423 points, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9%. The S&P 500 jumped 1%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by about a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 54 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 56 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals again outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend that recently has come under pressure (M criteria)Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a gain backed by lighter volume.

U.S. equities finished higher Monday to extend Friday’s rally. Trading was volatile throughout the session as investors turned their attention to the midterm elections and October’s inflation report. Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Communication Services and Energy pacing gains.

On the data front, all eyes are turned towards the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) report due Thursday morning. The headline figure is expected to come in at 7.9% year-over-year after notching an 8.2% annual gain in September. In corporate news, Apple Inc (AAPL +0.39%) eked out a small gain despite announcing iPhone production has been temporarily reduced amid renewed COVID-19 restrictions in China. Meta Platforms Inc (META +6.53%) rose following reports they will begin large-scale layoffs soon. Carvana Co (CVNA -15.64%) fell after needing to briefly halt trading due to outsized volatility. The decline came after the company had their worst day ever on Friday.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbing five basis points (0.05%) to 4.22%, while the 30-year bond yield advanced six basis points (0.06%) to 4.33%. The yield on the more policy-sensitive two-year note increased by six basis points (0.06%) to 4.72%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude reversed earlier gains to fall 0.7% to $91.93/barrel as market participants weigh a softening U.S. dollar against uncertainty over the future path of China’s zero-COVID policy. The U.S. Dollar Index slid 0.6% as a perceived risk-on mood took hold.

Financial, Retail, Tech and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The Bank Index ($BKX +0.70%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.68%), and Retail Index ($RLX +0.66%) each posted a small gain. Commodity-linked groups also had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.88%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.46%) both outpaced the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.32%). The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.18%) led the tech sector while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.66%) posted a smaller gain but the Networking Index ($NWX -0.07%) finished flat.

Steel/Metal Products Firm Quietly Perched Near All Time High

Commercial Metals Co (CMC -$0.14 or -0.31% to $45.70) ended with a small loss on light volume today. On the prior session with lighter than average volume it just touched a new 52-week high. Recent gains have lacked volume as it has been wedging upward. Additional volume-driven gains would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand lurking. 

Recently CMC 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.
 It hails from the Metal Proc & Fabrication group which is currently ranked 24th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).

CMC was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/11/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/14/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Little Resistance Remains for Strong Steel/Metal Products Firm".

The company has 117.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 586 in Dec '21 to 628 in Sep '22. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B.
