Damage Mounts and Major Indices Signal a Worrisome Correction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow shed 365 points, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.4%. The S&P 500 slid 1.2%, with all sectors finishing in negative territory. Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were no high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying, reduce exposure and raise cash until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day is noted. Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index sank further below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines to a new low close near the October 13th low. It is currently perched -37% off its November 22, 2021 record high.
U.S. equities finished lower as hopes for a year-end rally dwindled. Investors continued to assess the 2023 economic outlook and the possibility for a recession in the coming months. As the year winds down, equities are on pace for their worst year since 2008.
On the data front, pending home sales fell 4% month-over-month in November to its second-lowest level on record, signaling further slowdown in the real estate market. The Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed) manufacturing index came in at 1 in December, up from November’s -9 print. The report cited shipments, new orders, and the job outlook as key drivers behind the improved print. In corporate news, Southwest Airlines Co continued to cancel flights today after canceling over 70% of its flights earlier in the week. The airline is facing scrutiny from the federal government over its large-scale cancelations.
Longer-dated Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbed three basis points (0.03%) to 3.88%, while the 30-year bond advanced two basis points (0.02%) to 3.96%. The yield on the more policy-sensitive two-year note shed four basis points (0.04%) to 4.35%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1.1% to $78.62/barrel amid a surge of COVID-19 cases in China. Despite easing COVID-19 restrictions from the world’s largest cruder importer, investors are concerned a surge of cases may impact oil demand.
