The S&P 500 lost 6 points to 2267 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 35 points to 5538. Volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 13 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 39 on the prior session.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back from a new record high. 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 declined on the session Tuesday as Financials retreated amid increasing uncertainty around President-elect Donald Trump’s economic policies. On Monday, Trump criticized a proposed corporate tax plan from the House of Representatives, labeling the plan as “too complicated.” On the data front, a report showed manufacturing activity in the New York Fed region expanded in January for the third straight month.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Financials finished 2% lower on the session with Comerica Inc. (CMA -6.51%) falling hard. Shares of Morgan Stanley (MS -3.8%) slid despite the investment bank’s profit rising 83% year-over-year on strong trading results. In the consumer space, Twitter (TWTR -1.68%) fell after being the subject of negative analyst commentary. Wal-Mart (WMT +1.92%) rose as the retail giant announced plans to add 10,000 U.S. retail jobs. In M&A news, Clayton Williams Energy (CWEI +39.69%) surged after agreeing to a $2.7 billion takeover bid from Noble Energy (NBL +7.11%).

Treasuries finished higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 20/32 to yield 2.32%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.2% to $52.47/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.8%, with particular weakness against the British pound.
