Indices Rose with Greater Leadership and Positive Breadth
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index rose +0.5%, the Nasdaq Composite ended +0.3% higher, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a +0.4% gain. The Russell 2000 outperformed, up +1.1%. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 at the Nasdaq exchange. There were 76 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 58 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices shook off recent pressure (M criteria) as leadership improved meaningfully, however healthy leadership remains necessary in order to avoid a more worrisome correction. Disciplined investors know to only buy stocks meeting all key criteria as they emerge from properly formed bases.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has been holding its ground near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
President Trump told reporters that he will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico beginning Saturday due to immigration, trade deficits, and fentanyl, according to Bloomberg. New economic data included low initial jobless claims (207,000) for the week ending January 25 and a strong 4.2% growth rate for personal spending in the fourth quarter, marking the best results since Q1 2023. The 10-yr yield settled four basis points lower at 4.52% and the 2-yr yield settled three basis points lower at 4.20%.
Microsoft (MSFT -6.2%) fell after its earnings report but it was outweighed by positive responses to earnings from IBM (IBM +13.0%), Meta Platforms (META +1.6%), and Tesla (TSLA +2.9%). Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors rose. The lone decliner was information technology. Rate-sensitive utilities (+2.1%) and real estate (+1.4%) were the leading gainers.

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.97%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.85%) both finished higher while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.45%) edged lower.

Commodity-linked groups were led by the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.01%) while the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.69%) edged higher but the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.13%) inched lower.

G - Posted again today with +34% above average volume, finding support above its 200 DMA line ($174.70). Lingering below its 50 DMA line ($188) in recent weeks, a rebound above that important short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve.

Y - Posted a gain today with above average volume, consolidating near its all-time high. Recent volume-driven gains above the pivot point triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Near-term support to watch is the prior high ($120.71 on 1/06/25) and its 50 DMA line ($116). Fundamentals remain strong.

G - Gapped up today for a 3rd consecutive big volume-driven gain, promptly rebounding above its 50 DMA line ($97) helping its technical stance and outlook to improve. It has not formed a sound base and faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $131 level.

G - Pulled back today with near average volume, retreating after wedging to new all-time highs above its "max buy" level.

Y - Pulling back today after hitting yet another new all-time high on the prior session while adding to a spurt of volume-driven gains. Due to report Dec '24 quarterly results after the close on 1/29/25. Keep in mind that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a short flat base. Found prompt support after briefly undercutting its 50 DMA line ($1,079). A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +27% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/19/24.
