Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow shed 249 points, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 1%. The S&P 500 lost 0.9% with all sectors finishing in negative territory.Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, hinting that the weakness was due to an increase institutional selling pressure. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by 3-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 20 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors have a green light for making new buys only in stocks matching all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back for a 4th loss in the span of 5 sessions. It has recently been consolidating above its 50-day moving average line. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line (blue line) recently converged and crosed above its 200 DMA line (red line), a bullish technical signal termed a "golden cross".

U.S. equities reversed earlier gains to close lower Thursday as investors remained concerned regarding the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future monetary policy, offsetting the latest batch of better-than-expected corporate earnings. Roughly 70% of S&P 500 companies have reported earnings thus far and Wall Street announced it feels the results have been lackluster with the current beat rate below its three-year average of 79%.

On the data front, initial jobless claims for the week ended February 4 came in slightly higher than expected at 196,000 but remain at a historically low level despite recent company layoffs. In earnings news, Sonos Inc. reported a better-than-expected holiday quarter, driven by consumer demand. Mattel Inc. (MAT -10.68%) announced a drop of 22% in overall revenue as consumer demand weakened in the fourth quarter. Kellogg Co. (K -0.10%) saw a 12% jump in its fourth quarter sales.

Treasuries weakened as the yield curve saw the most inversion since 1981. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note added five basis points (0.05%) to 3.67%, while the 30-year bond yield increased five basis points (0.05%) to 3.73%. The yield on the policy sensitive two-year note gained six basis points (0.06%) to 4.49%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 1% to $77.67/barrel amid U.S. crude inventories surging to their highest level since June 2021. Meanwhile, Turkey’s Ceyhan port in the Mediterranean has resumed its operations after being temporarily suspended due to the earthquake.
