PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been consolidating near its record high after challenging the 20,000 level.
 Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term support. 

Near record high territory, the major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend which has endured distributional pressure. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages finished mostly positive territory as investors digested an optimistic start to fourth-quarter earnings season. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +0.53%) as the investment bank reported that profit rose 24% from a year earlier. On the data front, retail sales increased 0.6% in December, following a 0.2% gain the previous month. In a separate report, a gauge of inflation showed that producer prices ticked up 0.3% last month.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session higher. Financials pared most of their weekly loss after this morning’s profit tallies. Bank of America (BAC +0.39%) rose after the company beat on the bottom line but missed revenue expectations. Blackrock (BLK +0.28%) edged higher after surpassing Wall Street profit and revenue projections. GameStop (GME -8.05%) fell after releasing disappointing holiday sales figures.

Treasuries declined after this morning’s economic data with the benchmark 10-year note losing 8/32 to yield 2.39%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 0.9% to $52.54/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.1% to $1198.20/ounce.
