Major Averages Inched Lower With Lighter Volume Totals Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow shed 7 points, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4%. The S&P 500 slid 0.3%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing less pressure from institutional selling. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by about a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 27 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) has continued to help the rally be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index fell on Thursday with lighter volume, slumping back near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Of the 3 major indices only the Dow is in "healthy shape" above its 200 DMA line.
U.S. equities closed lower Thursday after Federal Reserve (Fed) officials said rate hikes are far from over. Saint Louis Fed president James Bullard’s announced earlier today the policy rate is not close to a level to be considered sufficiently restrictive, and the current monetary policy has only shown limited effects on observed inflation; however, markets may suggest disinflation in 2023. Eight of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory, with Utilities leading laggards.
On the data front, October’s housing starts decreased 4.2% month-over-month. Building permits also declined 2.4% for the month of October, coming in slightly better than analyst expectations of a 3.2% drop. Initial jobless claims for the week ended November 12 came in at 222,000, down from the prior week’s upwardly revised 226,000 print. In corporate news, Bath & Body Works (BBWI +24.39%) rallied for its best day since 2020 after topping earnings expectations and increasing its 2022 guidance.
Treasuries weaken after Fed officials hinted at the continuation of rate hikes. The yield on the 10-year note gained eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.76%, while the 30-year bond yield increased four basis points (0.04%) to 3.87%. The two-year note yield climbed nine basis points (0.09%) to 4.45%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 4.3% to $81.94/barrel, hitting its lowest level in more than six weeks, amid continued concerns over global demand and increased COVID-19 cases in China. Meanwhile, U.S. crude inventories fell by a larger than expected 5 million barrels last week. |

Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Still Perched Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Graphic Packaging Hldg (GPK -$0.18 or -0.80% to $22.28) has recently been testing support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($21.59). More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.
GPK was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the 10/25/22 mid-day report (read here). GPK has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +79% on +38% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/25/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Helped Outlook Improve". Fundamentals have remained strong. The past 3 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history has been good since a downturn in FY '16 and '17, meeting the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (A criteria).
The Paper & Paper Products group is ranked 112th on the 197 Industry Groups list and it has a C+ (44) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 596 in Sep '21 to 655 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

Y - Holding its ground stubbornly since highlighted in yellow in the 11/14/22 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 11/04/22 high after a cup-with-handle base. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Perched near its August high, but it still faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $148 level. Fundamentals are strong.
