Major Indices Little Changed as Trading Volumes Cool Down
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite settled little changed while the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a +0.1% gain. The Russell 2000 (-0.4%) underperformed with a modest decline. Volume was reported near the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 57 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, less than half the total of 116 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index is perched only -0.7% off its all-time high. Oil prices declined as WTI crude oil futures fell -3.1% to $71.80/bbl. The energy sector declined -1.5% while all other S&P 500 sectors moved less than 0.7% in either direction. The utilities (+0.7%) and real estate (+0.5%) sectors saw the largest gains.
A $40 billion 7-yr note auction met much weaker demand than Wednesday's upsized 5-yr note sale. The 2-yr note yield climbed six basis points to 4.29% and the 10-yr note yield jumped six basis points to 3.85% |

Commodity-Linked Groups Led Decliners
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +0.22%) inched higher while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.07%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.02%) both finished flat. The Networking Index ($NWX +0.51%) led the tech sector while the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.06%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.14%) each ended slightly in the red. Meanwhile, commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.81%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.43%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.35%) each lost ground.
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.07%) is perched at its all-time high.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" after an early gain today as, with light volume, it closed at the session low. Recently wedged above its 50 DMA line ($99.75) toward its high with gains lacking great volume conviction. Its 50 DMA line defines initial support above the recent low ($94.73 on 12/11/23) on pullbacks.

G - Volume totals have been cooling while stubbornly holding its ground near its all-time high. On pullbacks, the prior highs in the $229-231 area define near-term support to watch coinciding with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($229).

Y - Posted a 3rd consecutive gain backed by light volume for its second-best ever close. The new pivot point cited was based on its 11/14/23 high plus 10 cents, however, gains above the pivot point were not backed by the +40% above-average volume necessary to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Recent lows in the $950 area define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal.
