The S&P 500 Index set a record high as it increased 19 points to 1,587. The Dow gained points to 14,802 and the Nasdaq Composite Index touched a fresh 12-year high as it rallied 59 points to 3,297. 

Monetary policy was in focus. The March FOMC minutes revealed a majority of the Fed remains opposed to tapering its bond-buying program. In addition, Japan's Prime Minister reiterated the nation's bold stimulus measures and said its central bank will take the needed steps to achieve its 2% inflation target. Pac-Rim economic data added to the positive tone after Chinese imports of key commodities unexpectedly rebounded in March. Meanwhile, Washington's budget battle came back into focus after President Obama's latest budget proposal reignited deficit-reduction talks.

Earnings results were in the spotlight. CarMax Inc (KMX +3.91%) rose after posting a +13% gain in earnings. Fastenal Co (FAST -3.46%) doubled its quarterly dividend, but lost ground after missing on revenue estimates. In addition, Family Dollar Stores Inc (FDO +1.07%) rose although it posted a disappointing profit tally and full-year outlook. Overall, the resurgence of the risk trade pushed all sectors higher. Technology was the best performing group as Apple Inc (AAPL +2.92%) and Intel Corp (INTC +2.78%). Health Care also paced the advance thanks to a rally in pharmaceutical stocks as Merck & Co (MRK +2.9%) and Pfizer Inc (PFE +3%) both rallied. 

After the close, a notable earnings report was due out from Bed Bath & Beyond Inc (BBBY +1.55%) and Chevron Corp (CVX  +0.84%) was expected to post its interim results. 

In fixed-income, Treasury prices declined and a government auction of 10-year debt drew weaker-than-average demand. The 10-year note was down 15/32 to yield 1.81% and the 30-year bond lost over a full point to yield 3.01%.

Recent distribution days and weak action among high-ranked stocks has resulted in a noted shift in the market's (M criteria) stance. Early last week the rally was noted as "under pressure", and Friday's early action had the look of a more worrisome market "correction" before a resilient finish from the major indices provided some encouraging signs.  Members have been reminded repeatedly that any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it is always essential to see meaningful leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs).  Investors who should be watchful for individual issues flashing sell signals.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied to 12-year highs with ever increasing volume behind its recent 3-day winning streak. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during the latest consolidation.

 Tech stocks were strong as the Networking Index ($NWX +3.96%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.69%), Internet Index ($IIX +2.04%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.15%) posted unanimous gains of greater than +2%. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.41%) was a standout decliner as it erased the bulk of its prior gain.  The Retail Index ($RLX +1.03%) was a positive influence on the major averages along with financial shares as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.26%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.37%) tallied solid gains.  The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.45%) posted a decent gain while the   Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.11%) finished flat. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.22%) rounded out the mostly positive session with a gain.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +3.96%) rallied toward its 50-day moviong average (DMA) line.

Cardinal Financial Corp (CFNL +$0.20 or +1.16% to $17.44) recently retreated near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, enduring distributional pressure instead of rallying from the previously noted advanced "3-weeks tight" base. Previously noted - "Gains above the pivot point must have at least the bare minimum +40% above average volume, preferably more, to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal."

It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/18/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Holding Ground in Tight Range Following Technical Breakout."  The high-ranked leader hailing from the Banks - Southeast industry group reported earnings +54% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its track record of strong quarterly earnings comparisons underpinned by encouraging sales revenues increases. It has earned the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rank, and its high ranks and long term earnings history help it match favorably with the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 172 in Sep '11 to 219 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 30.3 millions shares outstanding is a favorable characteristic, yet it can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distributional pressure.
