Major Averages Fall Under Heavier Distributional Pressure

Stocks finished lower on Thursday. The Dow was off 254 points to 15660. The S&P 500 lost 22 points to 1829. The NASDAQ was off 16 points at 4266. Volume was reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of increasing selling pressure coming from large institutional investors. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly 5-1 on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were only 2 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from a total of 7 on the prior session. The total number of new 52-week lows expanded again and 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 S&P 500 Index fell to a new low close with its 5th consecutive loss, finishing -10.3% year-to-date.

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 tempered sharp losses after reports that OPEC was ready to cooperate on possible oil production cuts. In Fed news, Chair Janet Yellen indicated to Congress that the central bank may take another look at negative interest rates if economic conditions deteriorate. On the data front, initial jobless claims fell to 269,000, below the 280,000 predicted by analysts and the 285,000 reported last week.

In corporate news, Boeing (BA -6.8%) tumbled on reports of an SEC investigation into accounting practices. Tesla (TSLA +4.7%) rose after the automaker meaningfully raised forward guidance and said it expected to be profitable this year. Mylan (MYL -18.1%) fell after revenue came in 8% below Wall Street consensus. Cisco (CSCO +9.6%) rallied after exceeding analyst earnings projections.

All ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on Thursday. Financials and materials led the losses while consumer discretionary shares outperformed.

Treasuries advanced but finished off their best levels. The benchmark 10-year note added 9/32 to yield 1.64%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI was off 0.6% to $27.25/barrel after rallying back on the OPEC news. COMEX gold gained another 4% to $1242.00/ounce.
