Major Averages Rose But Recently Have Been Lacking Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 528 points, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.3%. The S&P 500 advanced 1.4%. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. However, there were only 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in an uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) must continue for the rally be productive, but new highs totals have recently contracted. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and longer-term 200 DMA average line. Those moving averages are about to converge in what is a considered a technically bullish signal termed a "golden cross".

U.S. equities in all sectors ended in positive territory on Monday as Wall Street rebounded from its worst week since September. Investors shifted their focus to this week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and the Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy meeting. The November CPI report is expected to show prices climbed 0.3% month-over-month, easing from October’s 0.4% monthly gain. Meanwhile, headline CPI is expected to come in at 7.3% year-over-year, slowing from October’s 7.7% print. The Fed is widely expected to hike rates by 50 basis points (0.50%), and investors will parse through Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s post-meeting comments for any clues as to the future course of interest rate hikes.

On the data front, the November New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations showed consumers were more optimistic about inflation, with one-year inflations expectations falling to 5.2% from October’s 5.9% print. The three-year and five-year inflation expectation components also declined.

Treasuries weakened ahead of the Fed meeting, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up three basis points (0.03%) to 3.61%, while the yield on the 30-year bond remained unchanged at 3.57%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, climbed four basis points (0.04%) to 4.38%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude recouped some of last week’s losses, adding 3.5% to $73.47/barrel. The moves come amid tight supply conditions due to the closure of the Canada-to-U.S. Keystone pipeline.

Volume Heavy Behind Breakout for Box Inc
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Box Inc Cl A (BOX +$2.09 or +7.44% to $30.20) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/01/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It formed an orderly base and recently found support near its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. Today's big gain backed by +211% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Keep in mind it still faces some additional resistance due to overhead supply up to the $33 level.

BOX reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +41% on +12% sales revenues over the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) for the 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison. Quarterly and annual earnings increases have been strong and steady. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are 142.3 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 468 in Dec '21 to 541 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
