Further gains have helped the DOW and the S&P 500 Index both rally above their downward sloping 200-day moving average lines. The improvement for the major averages (M criteria) was backed by an expansion in healthy leadership (new highs), another encouraging sign for the current confirmed rally. The Featured Stocks Page includes most current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts.

The major averages staged another afternoon rally after the Federal Reserve hinted that it was prepared to keep interest rates lower for longer. The committee suggested it still intended to hike rates twice in 2016, but cited weaker global growth and financial market turmoil as impediments to the U.S. economy. Traders are now pricing in a 52% chance of a rate increase in the Fed’s September meeting. The U.S. dollar, which was trading higher before the release, tumbled more than 1% against its peers after the announcement.

On the data front, consumer prices ticked down 0.2% in February. Subtracting food and energy, prices climbed 0.3%, representing the first time the gauge has increased that much in consecutive months since 2001. Separate releases showed that housing starts jumped by 5.2% in February while building permits declined 3.1%. In earnings, Oracle (ORCL +3.8%) rose as the company beat fiscal third quarter earnings expectations.

Eight out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 advanced on the session with Energy and Materials stocks leading the way.

Treasuries rallied after the Fed release with the 10-year note gaining 16/32 to yield 1.92%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rebounded 5.8% to $38.46/barrel. COMEX gold climbed 2.6% to $1263.10/ounce.
