Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume and Thinner Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 jumped 2.6%, posting its best day since June 2020, while the Dow rallied 653 points. The Nasdaq Composite surged 3.6%, clawing out of bear market territory (defined as a more than 20% drawdown from a recent record). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly 3-1 on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 14 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals 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 S&P 500 Index posted a gain with lighter volume as it sputtered near its 2022 low following 4 consecutive losses with higher volume totals.
U.S. stocks snapped a four-session losing streak as commodity prices stabilized, offering a slight reprieve from recent inflationary concerns. Also buoying sentiment was renewed hope that the conflict in Ukraine could be resolved diplomatically during a meeting tomorrow between top officials. Additionally, Ukraine President Zelensky has reportedly said he is no longer interested in joining NATO, one of Russia’s stated reasons for its invasion.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude tumbled 11.2% to $109.87/barrel after the United Arab Emirates said it would encourage other OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) members to increase output. Still, oil prices remain up 47% year-to-date. Treasuries weakened ahead of tomorrow’s key inflation reading, with the yield on the 10-year note up nine basis points (0.09%) to 1.94%. Meanwhile, a gauge of the U.S. dollar fell for the first time in five days (-1.1%). On the data front, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed the number of job openings eased to 11.3 million in January, still holding near December’s record level.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Technology and Financials outperforming. In corporate news, Match Group Inc. (MTCH +12.81%) and Bumble Inc. (BMBL +41.90%) both rallied after an analyst upgraded the two companies. Meanwhile, XPO Logistics Inc. (XPO +13.10%) rose after unveiling plans to spin off its brokerage transportation services unit.
