Breadth Positive as Major Averages Bounce
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 345 points, while the technology heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.6%. The S&P 500 increased 1.8% with all S&P sectors finishing in positive territory. Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows 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 S&P 500 Index is sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities surged Thursday after the Labor Department reported initial jobless claims increased by 9,000 to 225,000 for the week ended December 24. Meanwhile, continuing claims reached 1.7 million in the week ended December 17, hitting a level not seen since early February. Many analysts forecast the upward spike in claims is suggesting out-of-work individuals are finding it harder to obtain new job opportunities.
Treasuries were mixed with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note decreasing five basis points (0.05%) to 3.83%, while the 30-year bond yield declined five basis points (0.05%) to 3.91%. The yield on the more Federal Reserve (Fed) sensitive two-year note increased one basis point (0.01%) to 4.36%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 0.6% to $78.51/barrel as more countries raise concerns over China reopening their borders. Elsewhere, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced a surprising build in crude inventories for the week ended December 23.
