Breadth Mixed as Major Averages End Little Changed

Stocks were little changed on Monday. The Dow fell 17 points to 16449. The S&P 500 ebbed 1 point to 1939. The NASDAQ advanced 6 points at 4620.Volume totals were much higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating a reassuring increase in institutional buying demand. Advancers narrowly trailed decliners on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 20 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page may see new noteworthy leaders added only as the tone of the market improves.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a big +2.48% gain with higher volume on Friday, amounting to a solid follow-through day that helped to reconfirm a new rally.  When undercutting its August 2015 lows the benchmark index halted its slide -15% from the record high hit in May.

Few leaders have bullish patterns or have managed technical breakouts of late. Patience and strict discipline remain paramount. Leadership (defined as stocks hitting new highs) improved meaningfully on Friday, a reassuring sign after recent action from the major averages (M criteria) was labeled a new "confirmed uptrend" by the newspaper.

The major averages pared early losses after Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fisher said that recent volatility will factor in to the committee’s forthcoming decisions. International uncertainty continued overnight when a survey of the Chinese manufacturing sector contracted for a sixth-straight month. In domestic data, ISM manufacturing for January came in at 48.2, missing analyst expectations of 48.4. The PCE deflator, which is a proxy for inflation, fell 0.1% in January whereas consensus projections were for a flat reading.

Seven out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher on the session. Telecom and utilities shares paced the gains while energy and financial stocks underperformed. In corporate news, Twitter (TWTR +6.61%) rose on rumors that Silver Lake Partners is considering a deal for the company. Health insurer Aetna (AET +1.50%) rose after exceeding consensus earnings estimates. Chipotle (CMG + 4.34%) rose on a report that the CDC will declare the chain E.coli free.

Treasuries moved lower with the benchmark 10-year note falling 9/32 to yield 1.95%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI is slid 6.3% to $31.52/barrel. COMEX gold added 1.0% to $1127.90/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index lost 0.6% with particular weakness against the euro.

Retail, Semiconductor and Gold & Silver Indexes Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX+0.24%) was a small gainer on Monday, but the major averages suffered as weakness in financials led the Bank Index ($BKX-0.96%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.11%) both lower. The tech sector was mixed as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.35%) edged lower while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.06%) finished flat and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.48%) ended the session with a modest gain. Commodity-linked groups were mixed, with the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.71%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.78%) both slumping, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +3.05%) rose.
