Indices Rose as Donald Trump Was Sworn in as President

For the week, the Dow was down 0.3%, the S&P 500 lost 0.3%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.3%. Stocks finished higher Friday. The Dow was up 94 points to 19827. The S&P 500 added 7 points to 2271 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 15 points to 5555. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 19 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

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 advanced on the session Friday as Donald Trump was sworn in as the nation’s 45th president. Treasuries rose while the U.S. dollar declined after Trump took a protectionist tone in his inauguration speech, with unclear implications on economic policy. On the Fed front, Philadelphia President Patrick Harker said he expects three interest rate increases in 2017 if inflation moves to the central bank’s 2% target objective.

Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Technology stocks finished higher with Skyworks (SWKS +13.01%) rising. International Business Machines (IBM +2.24%) rose after reporting a 33% increase in its cloud business for the quarter. In earnings, Procter & Gamble (PG +3.25%) as the consumer products giant increased its organic sales growth guidance. Shares of General Electric (GE -2.18%) fell as the persistent oil-patch slump weakened demand for industrial equipment. In Health Care, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY -11.28%) fell amid reports the company declined to seek accelerated approval for a new lung cancer treatment.

Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 2/32 to yield 2.46%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 2% to $52.42/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.6% to $1208.40/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.3%.
