Major Averages Slump Again and Fail to Hold Session's Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 129 points, erasing a more than 500-point early session gain. The S&P 500 slipped 0.2%, wiping out a morning advance of over 2%. The Nasdaq Composite closed little changed. Volume totals reported were near the prior session on the NYSE and clearly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 12 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 4 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals rose again and easily outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have seen damaging losses noted that signaled a more serious market correction. Greater caution is suggested until noted strength returns. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average halted its slide near its September low after decisively violating its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. At Monday's low it was -10.3% off its January 5 record high. Thursday marks Day 4 of the rally attempt - an important time for all disciplined investors now watching for a follow-through day to confirm a new uptrend.
U.S. stocks finished mostly lower in volatile trading Wednesday as investors digested the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy decision. As expected, committee members set the stage for an interest rate hike in March as the central bank shifts its priority to combating elevated inflation. Fed officials also generally laid the groundwork for “significantly reducing” its nearly $9 trillion balance sheet sometime after liftoff, pivoting away from ultra-loose monetary policy implemented during the pandemic. Following the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks were construed as hawkish, as he characterized inflation as “slightly worse” than in December and declined to rule out a rate increase at every meeting.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with bond proxy Real Estate leading decliners. Technology shares bucked the downtrend on solid earnings. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT +2.85%) rose after the Tech titan topped analyst profit and revenue estimates and offered a positive current-quarter outlook amid strength in its cloud services segment. Corning Inc. (GLW +11.16%) rose as the materials science company delivered upbeat growth forecasts.
Treasuries slumped, with the yield on the 10-year note up nine basis points (0.09%) to 1.87%, while the more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield spiked 13 basis points (0.13%) to 1.16%-a 23-month peak. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar rallied 0.6%. On the data front, new home sales jumped 11.9% to a nine-month high in December. |

Gold & Silver and Retail Indexes Lost Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.30%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.28%) both eked out small gains, but another solid loss for the Retail Index ($RLX -0.94%) created a drag on the major averages. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.12%) suffered a bigger loss. Energy-linked groups were mixed and little changed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.27%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.16%) held their recent gains. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.68%) posted a solid gain while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.58%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -0.72%) both edged lower.
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.30%) halted its slide near the September low after abruptly slumping well below its 50 and 200 DMA lines.
