TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Conditions are technically still considered a market "correction" (M criteria). Investors are still cautioned about making new buying efforts until a solid follow-through day marked by higher volume is noted confirming a new uptrend.


Major Indices End Session Mixed But Higher on the Week

Trade on Friday was mixed, capping off a winning week. The S&P 500 closed +0.2% higher than yesterday and +1.9% higher than last Friday. The Nasdaq Composite settled fractionally lower than yesterday and +1.1% higher than last Friday.  Volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth had a slightly negative tilt as decliners led advancers by a 7-6 margin on the NYSE and by 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. A healthy level of leadership further improved as there were 98 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 91 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices remain in a market correction (M criteria). Patience is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating after last week's rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

The preliminary University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment for May dropped to 67.4 in May (expected 76.5; prior 77.2) and showed a jump in year-ahead inflation expectations to 3.5% from 3.2%.  The 10-yr note yield settled six basis points higher at 4.50%. The 2-yr note yield settled six basis points higher at 4.87%.

Strength in the semiconductor space came after TSMC (TSM +4.53%) reported a big jump in revenue in April. Six of the 11 S&P 500 sectors posted gains, with consumer staples (+0.6%), information technology (+0.5%), financials (+0.5%), and health care (+0.2%) sectors as top performers. The consumer discretionary sector logged the biggest decline, down 0.6%.

Reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +31% on +34% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Fundamentals remain strong.
