Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 344 points, while the S&P 500 jumped 1.1%, snapping a three-day losing streak. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 2%, posting its best day in nearly a month as Tech and growth-related led the gains. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, hinting at lackluster institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 29 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has come under pressure (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a gain on lighter volume.

U.S. stocks finished firmly higher on Wednesday as Wall Street assessed the unofficial start of first-quarter earnings season and another round of inflation data. Financials underperformed with JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM -3.22%) down on mixed results that included a 42% drop in year-over-year profit, partly attributed to a sizeable loss related to the market fallout from Russia invading Ukraine. In other earnings, Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL +6.21%) rose after delivering a smaller-than-anticipated quarterly loss and offering upbeat guidance on summer bookings. The positive outlook spurred a rally among other travel-related stocks, with American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL +10.62%) and Marriott International Inc. (MAR +7.53%) both rising. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude added 3.6% to $104.26/barrel despite a larger-than-forecasted weekly buildup in domestic stockpiles.

Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points (0.03%) to 2.69%. The more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield declined two basis points (0.02%) to 2.35% after yesterday dropping the most since late February (-0.13%) as a smaller-than-projected core Consumer Price Index (CPI) (ex-food and energy) eased expectations of ultra-aggressive monetary policy tightening from the Federal Reserve. Still, the headline CPI jumped 8.5% year-over-year, the most since December 1981. Investors evaluated another inflation reading today, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) climbing a larger-than-expected 11.2% year-over-year in March, representing the fastest pace on record.

Retail, Tech, Broker/Dealer, and Commodity-Linked Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The tech sector saw unanimous gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.36%), Biotech Index ($BTK +2.55%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +1.79%). The Retail Index ($RLX +2.27%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.82%) also posted gains while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.15%) finished little changed. Commodity-linked groups also had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.23%) Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.36%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.40%) rounded out a solidly positive session.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +2.27%) rebounded above Its 50-day moving average (DMA) but met resistance recently at its 200 DMA line. Subsequent gains above the 200 DMA line would bode well, meanwhile further deterioration would be a worrisome sign for the market outlook.
