Major Indices Rose With Greater Conviction

The S&P 500 (+0.5%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.1%), and Russell 2000 (+1.7%) closed near their best levels of the session. The Nasdaq Composite trailed its peers and finished virtually unchanged.  Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of increasing institutional conviction on the buy side. Advancers led decliners by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 104 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index was little changed on Thursday, lagging its peers.

Stocks shifted back into rally-mode. NVIDIA (NVDA +0.53%) initially traded lower due to profit-taking activity and due to a slight deceleration in its revenue growth rate. The report was solid overall, though, and the company said demand for its Blackwell chip is "staggering." Deere & Co. (DE +8.1%) posted a standout gain. The communication services sector was the worst performer (-1.7%) due to a big loss in Alphabet (GOOG -4.6%) after reports that the DOJ is pushing for a forced sale of Chrome and potentially Android. Nine out of the 11 S&P 500 sectors higher. Five sectors were higher by 1.0% or more, led by utilities (+1.8%), financials (+1.3%), consumer staples (+1.2%), and industrials (+1.2%).

There was a stronger-than-expected Existing Home Sales report for October (3.96 mln), which followed another decrease in weekly jobless claims (to 213,000 form 219,000), and a disappointing Philadelphia Fed Survey (-5.5). The 10-yr yield settled three basis points higher at 4.43% and the 2-yr yield settled four basis points higher at 4.35%.
