PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rebounded this week after a recent slump to new lows.

Improved action from the major averages (M criteria) on Wednesday signaled a new follow through day and confirmed rally, an encouraging sign that a deeper correction and more serious "Bear Market" may be avoided. Members have been repeatedly reminded -"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."

The major averages fluctuated to cap their best weekly performance of 2016. On the data front, a gauge of inflation showed consumer prices were unchanged in January. Subtracting the effects of food and energy, prices rose 0.3% versus the consensus forecast to increase 0.2%.

In earnings, Applied Materials (AMAT +7.05%) rose as the company’s profits and revenue slightly exceeded analyst expectations. Deere & Co (DE -4.15%) was lower after the agricultural equipment maker lowered its guidance. Nordstrom (JWN -6.73%) fell after the retailer posted disappointing holiday sales numbers. United Continental Airlines (UAL +3.62%) rose as the company doubled its first-quarter share repurchase guidance to $1.5 billion.

Six of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on Friday. Materials and Telecommunications stocks led the losses while Technology shares outperformed.

Treasuries were slightly lower along the curve with the 10-year note losing 2/32 to yield 1.75%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 3.0% to $29.85/barrel. COMEX gold was up 0.4% to $1230.30/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index retreated 0.3%.
