Major Indices Rose With Slightly Better Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks advanced on Thursday. The Dow was up 59 points to 19852. The S&P 500 added 8 points to 2262 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 20 points to 5456. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 34 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched near record high territory.
The major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages finished higher as the U.S. Dollar Index surged and investors digested the Federal Reserve’s decision yesterday to raise interest rates. The central bank increased rates for just the second time in a decade while projecting three rate hikes for next year. On the data front, a gauge of inflation showed that consumer prices rose 0.2% in November. Separately, initial jobless claims came in at 254,000, below the expected 255,000.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Financials paced the gains, catching a boost after the Fed’s rate decision. Shares of Bank of America (BAC +2.2%) and JP Morgan Chase (JPM +1.5%) rose. In Health Care, Eli Lilly (LLY +5.5%) rose as the company reaffirmed its forward EPS guidance.
On the M&A front, Mondelez International (MDLZ +4.4%) rose amid reports that Kraft-Heinz (KHC +1.20%) has interest in acquiring the company. Yahoo (YHOO -6.1%) was a notable decliner after disclosing a 2013 data breach which impacted 1 billion user accounts.
Treasuries finished mostly lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 10/32 to yield 2.60%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slipped 0.1% to $50.90/barrel. COMEX gold retreated 2.9% to $1127.80/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index surged 1.4%.
