Major Indices Unanimously Fell to New Low Closes for 2022
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow shed 797 points, while the S&P 500 fell 3% and marked its worst session since October 2020. Both benchmarks ended in correction territory (defined as a 10% decline from a recent record). The Nasdaq Composite retreated 3.6%, sinking into bear market territory (defined as a 20% drop from a recent peak) amid weakness in growth-related shares. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling termed "distribution". Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 35 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) are in a "correction" and disciplined investors are reminded to reduce exposure and raise cash.
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index fell for a 3rd consecutive loss and closed at a new 2022 low.
U.S. stocks finished firmly lower Monday as rising commodity prices stoked concerns surrounding inflation and global economic growth. Overseas, the German DAX confirmed a bear market for the first time since 2020. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis points (0.05%) to 1.79%, while a measure of 10-year inflationary expectations hit an all-time high.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 3.6% to $119.84/barrel after earlier touching $130.50/barrel, a peak not seen since July 2008. Crude prices climbed amid reports that the U.S. and its allies were contemplating a formal ban on Russian oil and natural gas imports, but pared earlier gains as European Union governments were divided on the issue. Wheat soared to a record amid supply constraints, as did various metals. COMEX gold topped $2,000/ounce for the first time since August 2020.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary shares leading the decline. PVH Corp (PVH -15.37%) and Ralph Lauren Corp (RL -12.23%) were among the notable laggards following an analyst downgrade due to outsized exposure to Europe. Offering a bright spot for retailers was Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., (BBBY +34.18%) rose after activist investor Ryan Cohen reported a nearly 10% stake in the company. |

Financial, Retail, and Tech Indexes Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -4.60%), Bank Index ($BKX -4.62%), and Retail Index ($RLX -4.13%) each fell more than -4% and created a big drag on the major market averages. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.91%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -3.05%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -1.47%) also fell. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +8.59%) posted a standout gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.05%) finished flat. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.68%) also gained ground. PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -4.13%) fell to a new low close for 2022. Weakness in the Retail index bodes poorly for the market outlook because consumer spending accounts for about 2/3 of the US economy.
