TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Continued distributional action recently was noted as it signaled a shift in (M criteria) conditions from an "uptrend under pressure" to a market "correction". Use greater caution, raise cash and reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.


Negative Bias as Major Indices Sputter

The S&P 500 Index settled -0.2% lower and the Nasdaq Composite fell -0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a +0.2% gain thanks to strength in its heaviest component, UnitedHealth (UNH +5.22%), which rallied after its earnings report. Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as only a few high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows totals again expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have shown distributional action indicative of a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors. Always stand ready to protect against losses.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com


PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is falling below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with 3 consecutive losses. 

Commentary from Fed Chair Powell concerning recent rate cut recalibrations suggested that restrictive policy needs more time to work. Recent data has not shown progress on the inflation front.  Meanwhile there was a report of eaker-than-expected Housing Starts and Building Permits for March. The 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.96% and the 10-yr note yield settled three basis points higher at 4.66%.

Negative responses to earnings news from Bank of America (BAC -3.5%) contributed to the overall downside bias.

Financial and Commodity-Linked Groups Lost Ground

The Bank Index ($BKX -1.63%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.50%) both outpaced the Retail Index ($RLX -0.23%) to the downside. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.89%) rose and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.01%) was unchanged and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.10%) inched lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.31%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.88%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.31%) rounded out the mostly negative session with losses.

PICTURED: ThOil Services Index ($OSX -1.31%) is slumping toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with 4 consecutive losses.

Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +59% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $866 level.
