Leadership Waned and Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks recovered to finish modestly lower Monday. The Dow, which fell as many as 148 points, closed down 27 at 17977. The S&P 500 trimmed a 14 point loss to end the day off 4 to 2087. The Nasdaq Composite was off 10 points to 4895. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 15 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. The new 52-week highs totals contracted again yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index ended -2.2% off its record high hit last May.
Members are reminded that any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs). The DOW, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite have established confirmed uptrends and are above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. The Featured Stocks Page includes current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts. The major averages spent the session in negative territory as investors appeared cautious ahead of the start of the Fed’s two-day policy meeting tomorrow. On the earnings front, Xerox (XRX -13.3%) tumbled as results missed forecasts. Lab Corp (LAB +2.7%) rose after posting profits above projections. On the data front, new home sales unexpectedly fell 1.5% in March versus a projected 1.6% gain. In a separate release, the Dallas Fed reported activity contracted at a slower pace in April. Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished down on the session. Energy was the worst-performing group amid a decline in oil prices. Transocean (RIG -4.9%) fell worse than Chevron (CVX -0.5%). Materials also weighed on the market as Freeport-McMoRan (FCX -2.7%) fell ahead of its earnings release Tuesday. Consumer Staples were the up the most with Kroger (KR +3.3%) and Tyson Foods (TSN +1.6%) both ending higher. Treasuries were lower for a sixth consecutive session. The benchmark 10-year note was down 6/32 to yield 1.91%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude declined 1.9% to $42.88/barrel. COMEX gold rose 0.8% to $1238.60/ounce. |
