Breadth Positive as Major Averages Rose With Greater Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow advanced 499 points, turning positive month-to-date. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each notched their best one-day performance in a month, jumping 1.6% and 2.2%, respectively. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 39 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 32 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly 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 rebounded near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. equities staged a relief rally on Tuesday as Wall Street digested central bank commentary and corporate earnings reports. Depressed sentiment and positioning levels serving as contrarian indicators were widely cited as supportive of risk appetite.

Hawkish remarks from St. Louis Federal Reserve (Fed) President Bullard were in focus, as he said more aggressive 0.75% rate hikes--while not his base case--“should not be ruled out” as a policy tool to quickly move interest rates to a neutral level. Market participants are essentially pricing in a bigger-than-normal 0.50% rate increase at the upcoming May 3-4 policy meeting. A rout in Treasuries deepened, with the yield on the 10-year note up seven basis points (0.07%) to 2.93%, while the 30-year bond yield briefly traded at 3.00% for the first time in three years. The more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield spiked 13 basis points (0.13%) to 2.59%. On the data front, both housing starts and building permits unexpectedly advanced in March, up 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors rose more than 1%, with growth-related stocks outperforming alongside companies benefiting from reopening activity. Energy was the lone laggard as West Texas Intermediate crude slumped 5% to $102.81/barrel. In earnings, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +3.05%) rose as a dividend boost helped offset disappointing first-quarter sales. Meanwhile, Travelers Companies Inc. (TRV -4.89%) fell as a closely watched underwriting metric fell short of expectations, overshadowing an otherwise upbeat report.
