Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow gained 834 points, notching its best session since November 2020 and ending little changed on the week (-0.1%). The S&P 500 surged 2.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.6%, with both benchmarks snapping two-week losing streaks (+0.8% and +1.1%, respectively). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 4 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted abruptly yet still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices all rose further following noted "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 finished firmly higher in a broad-based relief rally Friday as investors continued to monitor the escalating geopolitical conflict in Eastern Europe. Russian troops were reportedly closing in on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, though President Putin indicated a willingness to potentially negotiate with Ukraine despite urging their military to mutiny. The U.S. joined its allies in issuing personal sanctions on President Putin. Oversold conditions and technical dynamics were also cited as factors contributing to the reprieve in the equity sell-off.
Furthermore, U.S. sanctions have thus far not directly targeted Russia’s energy industry. West Texas Intermediate crude eased 0.5% to $92.32/barrel after briefly topping $100/barrel yesterday. Treasuries edged lower as recent Federal Reserve (Fed) commentary suggested that the crisis in Ukraine was unlikely to derail the central bank’s plans for monetary policy tightening. The yield on the 10-year note rose one basis point (0.01%) to 1.97%. The core PCE deflator (the Fed’s preferred proxy for inflation) climbed 5.2% year-over-year in January, in-line with expectations but still the biggest increase since 1983. Meanwhile, a release revealed personal spending rose a stronger-than-expected 2.1% in January.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Materials pacing gains. In earnings, Block Inc. (SQ +26.14%), formerly named Square, rose on upbeat forward guidance. Elsewhere, ETSY Inc. (ETSY +16.21%) on the heels of a top and bottom line beat. |
