Distributional Pressure Sends Nasdaq Composite Back Below 200-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow was off 174 points to 17541. The S&P 500 lost 24 points at 2041. The NASDAQ fell 72 points to 4848. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a clear sign of distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 16 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 22 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange.PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index slumped back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with a loss on higher volume.
The DOW and S&P 500 Index both remain above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. The major averages (M criteria) have recently encountered pressure. For any rally to be sustained it requires a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs). 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. Stocks retreated on Thursday and the S&P 500 moved into negative territory for the year while the yen surged against the dollar as a perceived “risk-off” trade took hold in the markets. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 18% to 16.7 while Treasuries and gold rallied. In Fed news, current chair Janet Yellen will appear alongside former heads Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker on stage in New York after the close. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 267,000, less than the 270,000 predicted by analysts. All ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the session. Financial shares led the losses with Citigroup (C -3.80%) and Goldman Sachs (GS-3.08%) both falling. In earnings, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY +0.33%) inched higher after the company beat Wall Street profit expectations and announced a new quarterly dividend. CarMax (KMX -7.15%) fell despite exceeding expectations on the top and bottom line. Treasuries strengthened as the session wore on with the benchmark 10-year note adding 19/32 to yield 1.69%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slid 0.8% to $37.44/barrel after sharp gains on Wednesday. COMEX gold rebounded 1.5% to $1241.10/ounce. In FOREX, the yen advanced 1.3% against the U.S. dollar. |
