TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The weakening major averages signaled a market correction (M criteria) with this week's noted plunge to new lows for the year. The fact-based investment system's rules say that new buying efforts should be avoided during market corrections.


Major Averages Managed "Positive Reversal" From New 2022 Lows

The Dow climbed 92 points, clawing back an earlier 800 point drop to avoid closing in correction territory (defined as a 10% drop from a recent all-time high). The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each reversed steep early session drops to end 1.5% and 3.3% higher, respectively. Still, the broad benchmark is sitting 10.6% below its January 3 record, while the tech-heavy index is down 16% from its November 19 peak.  Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 7 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchangeThe major indices all managed "positive reversals" on Thursday after plunging to new 2022 lows.  The market averages (M criteria) are in a "correction" and disciplined investors are reminded to reduce exposure and raise cash.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index managed a "positive reversal" on Thursday after violating its January low and slumping well below Its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. stocks ended higher after a volatile session on Thursday, as dip buying of tech shares helped counter a perceived risk-off mood on Wall Street. Investors weighed the implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions announced by the U.S. and its allies. The new penalties placed limits on Russian financial intuitions and elites, as well as put export controls in place to restrict Russia’s access to semiconductors and other advance technologies. 

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude gained 1.4% to $93.42/barrel, after briefly topping $100/barrel for the first time since 2014. Meanwhile, perceived safe haven assets caught a bid, with a gauge of the U.S. dollar jumping 0.8% and COMEX gold settling at its best level since January 2021, climbing 0.8% to $1,925.10/ounce. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points (0.02%) to 1.96%.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Technology and Communication Services pacing the gains. In earnings, Moderna Inc. (MRNA +15.03%) rose following robust sales and profit figures. Booking Holdings Inc. (BKNG -7.08%) slid as broader weakness in travel-related shares overshadowed a top and bottom line beat.
