Major Indices Ended Mixed as Leadership Thinned

The Dow added 3 points, while the Nasdaq Composite decreased 0.6%. The S&P 500 declined 0.2%. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 16 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) must continue for the rally be more 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 has paused after trading above its August high. Of the 3 major indices only the Dow is in "healthy shape" above its 200 DMA line.

U.S. equities finished mixed Tuesday as investors struggled to recover from Monday’s losses and are looking ahead to Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell’s speech Wednesday afternoon. Powell’s speech is expected to give insight into whether the central bank will slow down its interest rate hikes as market participants continue to look towards the future. Six of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory with Information Technology leading laggards.

On the data front, September’s Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) House Price Index came in hotter-than-expected at 0.1%, up from August’s -0.7%. Meanwhile, September’s S&P CoreLogic Case Shiller 20-City Home Price index decreased 1.2% month-over-month and increased 10.4% annually, a smaller increase than anticipated. Finally, November’s Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index moved 2.3 points lower from October’s print to 100.2 signaling elevated recession risk.

Treasury yields finished higher Tuesday, after the Fed signaled higher interest rates are not going anywhere. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note increased eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.76%, while the 30-year bond yield added eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.81%. The yield on the two-year note gained three basis points (0.03%) to 4.48%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 1.5% to $78.42/barrel as investor’s grow optimistic that China’s strict COVID-19 policy may loosen in the near future. However, gains were slightly hampered as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC+) announced they will not adjust their output plans at the December 4 meeting.

Commodity-Linked Groups and Financial Indexes Rose

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.16%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.86%) both posted influential gains but the Retail Index ($RLX -0.95%) created a drag on the major indices. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.86%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.60%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.49%) each posted solid gains. Meanwhile, the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.72%) led the tech sector lower while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.30%) suffered a smaller loss and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.07%) was nearly unchanged.

Volume-Driven Losses Undercut 50-Day Moving Average

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH -$4.17 or -3.49% to $115.46) suffered a 2nd consecutive loss with above average volume and violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($115.84) triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. A streak of 8 consecutive gains helped it approach its prior highs and pivot point, but it again failed to break out and trigger a technical buy signal. 

CLH was last shown in greater detail on 11/02/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Testing 50 Day Moving Average Line After Forming New Base". Fundamentals remain strong after reporting Sep '22 quarterly earnings +113% on +43% sales revenues versus the year ago period. CLH was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the 11/02/22 mid-day report (read here). It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99.Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

There are only 54.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 652 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of B, but an Accumulation Distribution Rating of D.
