Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rallied With Heavier Volume

The Dow jumped 737 points, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 4.4%. The S&P 500 advanced 3.1%. Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 10 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new highs still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) has continued helping the rally be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a big gain and rallied to close above its 200 DMA line for the first time since April 7th.

U.S. equities finished higher Wednesday as investors digested comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell. The Fed Chief reiterated the need to continue to curb inflation, but indicated the central bank may downshift to a slower pace of rate hikes as soon as their next meeting. Powell also echoed some of his remarks from his press conference after the November meeting, saying the rate peak may be “somewhat higher” than forecasted in September. 

On the data front, the ADP Employment Change report showed payrolls increased less than forecasted in November, while the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed job openings fell to 10.3 million in October. The easing figure suggests demand for labor is beginning to moderate. Meanwhile, a second reading of third-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was revised upwards to 2.9%, while wholesale inventories unexpectedly climbed 0.8% month-over-month. Retail inventories fell 0.2% month-over-month in October versus estimates of a 0.5% monthly gain. Finally, pending home sales fell 4.6% in October, while the MNI Chicago Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell sharply to 37.2 in November, signaling further contraction.

Treasuries rallied, with the yield on the 10-year note down 12 basis points (0.12%) to 3.64%, while the 30-year bond yield shed four basis points (0.04%) to 3.77%. The two-year note yield slipped 15 basis points (0.15%) to 4.33%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 3% to $80.58/barrel amid tight supply conditions.

Tech, Retail, Financial, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

Gap Up and Big Volume-Driven Breakout Gain

Titan Machinery Inc (TITN +$9.15 or +26.23% to $44.03) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/23/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It gapped up rallying for a big volume-driven gain and new all-time high, but it has quickly gotten extended from the prior highs. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than 5% above the prior high or pivot point.

TITN went through a long consolidation below its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/26/22. Fundamentals remain strong. Bullish action came after it reported Oct '22 quarterly earnings +91% on +47% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its streak of strong quarterly comparisons. It currently has the highest possible earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Following years of losses it has shown strong earnings growth for FY '19-22.

The small supply of only 22.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria) 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 241 in Dec '20 to 344 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
