Breadth Turned Negative as Leadership Waned Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended lower on Monday. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly higer on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 56 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted and were outnumbered by new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have come under recent pressure (M criteria) as leadership has thinned again. 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 S&P 500 Index slumped near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after recently churning higher volume near its all-time high.
Fears about tariffs impacting growth and pressuring inflation higher led the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to trade down as much as 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was more than 650 points lower at its worst level. The weakness followed news that the US imposed a 25% tariff on imported goods from Canada and Mexico (only 10% for Canadian energy) and a 10% tariff on imported goods from China. News emerged, however, that Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum had a "good call" with President Trump and he agreed to "pause tariffs for one month." President Trump confirmed the update.
Heavily-weighted sectors like information technology (-1.8%), consumer discretionary (-1.4%), and financials (-0.4%) faced pressure. Consumer staples (+0.7%), utilities (+0.5%), and the energy (+0.4%) sector closed higher. Treasuries settled mixed as the 10-yr yield settled three basis points lower at 4.54% and the 2-yr yield settled three basis points higher at 4.27%. |

Gold & Silver Index Higher Amid Broader Group Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -1.51%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.38%) ended lower while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.24%) also ended slightly lower. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.82%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.90%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.95%) to the downside. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.47%) posted a solid gain and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.16%) inched higher while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.71%) ended lower.
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.47%) was an outlier as it rose on Monday, making further progress above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

G - Abruptly retreated after hitting a new 52-week high and violated its 50 DMA line ($240) with a damaging volume-driven loss triggering a technical sell signal and its color code is changed to green. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Its Relative Strength Rating is 80, at the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.
