Breadth Negative and Leadership Remains Thin

Stocks finished mildly lower on Tuesday. The Dow was off 12 points to 16014. The S&P 500 was down 1 point to 1852. The NASDAQ lost 14 points at 4268. Volume was reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was still negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from a total of 6 on the prior session. The total number of new 52-week lows easily outnumbered new highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index recently sank below its Aug '15 lows with losses on higher volume. Damaging losses technically ended a brief rally.

Patience and strict discipline remain paramount. Any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (defined as stocks hitting new highs), however, few leaders have bullish chart patterns and the few isolated technical breakouts of late have been quickly negated. Recent action from the major averages (M criteria) has signaled a deeper correction with the characteristics of a more serious "Bear Market" environment.

The major averages fluctuated throughout the session while the dollar and oil prices retreated. Overseas, Japan’s Nikkei experienced its sharpest decline since 2013. The index fell 5.4% as the yen climbed to the highest level in more than a year against the dollar. On the data front, wholesale inventories declined by less than expected. JOLTS Job openings in the U.S. registered just over 5.6 million, the second highest reading ever.

In earnings, Coca-Cola (KO +1.52%) rose after beating analyst estimates on both the top and bottom line. CVS Health (CVS +0.96%) rose after topping Wall Street revenue forecasts. Viacom (VIA -17.76%) tumbled on weaker-than-expected domestic revenue.

Five out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 declined on Tuesday. Energy and Telecom stocks led the losses while materials shares outperformed. Anadarko (APC -7.02%) headlined the energy slide after cutting its quarterly dividend by more than 80%.

Treasuries were mixed with the curve flattening. The benchmark ten-year note added 4/32 to yield 1.73%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI tumbled 4.5% to $28.355/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.6% to $1191.20/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell another 0.5% against its peers.
