Major Indices Make Another Big Bounce But Concerns Remain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 2,112 points to add 11.4%, notching its largest one-day percentage gain since 1933. The S&P 500 rallied 9.4%, its best day since October 2008. The Nasdaq Composite gained 8.1%.Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by an 11-1 margin on the NYSE and 6-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as zero high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 1 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week highs totals which were in the single digits on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) have been in a noted "market correction" and investors have been prompted since February 25th to reduce market exposure. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a big +9.38% gain marking Day 1 of a new rally attempt. Disciplined investors know to watch between Days 4-7 for a follow-through day of big gains from the major indices on higher volume coupled with an increase in the number of stocks hitting new highs to confirm a new market uptrend before initiating any new buying efforts.
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday, rebounding from three-year lows. Risk sentiment was supported by hopes that the U.S. Senate was nearing an agreement on the latest COVID-19 stimulus bill, reportedly worth up to $2 trillion. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters this morning that there is “real optimism” that Congress can reach an accord.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with six groups jumping more than 10%. Energy shares paced gains, while Consumer Staples lagged on a relative basis. The gains were broad-based, with Financials, Industrials, Utilities, and Technology all outperforming. In stock news, Chevron (CVX +22.74%) spiked higher after announcing plans to cut capital expenditures and suspend stock buybacks in order to protect the company’s dividend. Elsewhere, travel-related stocks rebounded with Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCLH +42.19%) and American Airlines (AAL +35.80%) posting huge percentage gains.
Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up eight basis points to 0.83%. In commodities, COMEX gold climbed another 5.9%, on the heels of its best day since March 2009. The U.S. dollar snapped a 10-session winning streak.
On the data front, a preliminary March update from research firm IHS Markit showed the composite gauge of both U.S. manufacturing and services sector activity fell the most since October 2009. Across the pond, the comparable measure for eurozone business activity dropped to the lowest point since the PMI surveys began in July 1998.
