Breadth Positive as Major Indices Show Resilience
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 199 points, a sharp turnaround from an earlier decline of more than 300 points. The S&P 500 turned 0.5% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite eked out a gain of 0.1%. The small-cap Russell 2000 jumped 2.7% after briefly dipping into correction territory (defined as a 10% decline from a recent peak). The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin 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 the total of 8 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals grew and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend under pressure while leadership has been thinning. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which defines important near-term chart support to watch.
U.S. stocks advanced in choppy trading Thursday, with quarter-end rebalancing contributing to increased volatility. President Biden announced an updated goal of deploying 200 million coronavirus vaccine doses during his first 100 days in office.
Longer-dated Treasuries weakened following a slightly softer-than-anticipated seven-year auction. The yield on the 10-year note rose two basis points to 1.63%. In central bank news, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that asset purchases would gradually be rolled back at some point, though any tapering would occur “very, very gradually over time.” On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims came in at 684,000, the lowest since the pandemic began. In commodities, WTI crude fell 4.5% to $58.44/barrel despite the removal of a container ship blocking traffic in the Suez Canal expected to take weeks.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Communication Services and Technology lagged as big tech CEOs appeared before Congress to discuss online misinformation. In corporate news, Boeing (BA +3.32%) after announcing plans to resume delivery of its 787 Dreamliner jets this week. Nike (NKE -3.39%) as the athletic apparel maker faced boycott pressure in China. Rite Aid Corp (RAD -20.44%) fell on news the drugstore chain is likely to post a loss for its most recent fiscal year. |
