Major Averages Rose With Better Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
With Thursday's gains the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are up +0.2% and +0.3%, respectively, for the year. Volume was reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE and by narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 28 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the NYSE while new lows outnumbered new highs 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 S&P 600 Small Cap Index is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors rose and three of them climbed more than 1.0%. The heavily-weighted information technology sector (+2.0%) was the top performer thanks to strength in its mega cap and semiconductor constituents. The financial sector closed with a +0.2% gain while Discover Financial Services (DFS -10.80%) encountered selling pressure after disappointing quarterly results. KeyCorp (KEY -4.62%), Truist (TFC +0.56%), and M&T Bank (MTB +1.47%) each reported earnings. The utilities (-1.1%) and real estate (-0.6%) sectors saw the largest declines.
The 2-yr note yield fell two basis points to 4.34% and the 10-yr note yield settled four basis points higher at 4.14%. Strong economic data included housing starts for December and initial jobless claims that both exceeded expectations.
Apple (AAPL +3.29%) rose after an analyst upgrade and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +9.79%) rose after good earnings results.
