Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were higher on Monday. The Dow was up 117 points to 17891. The S&P 500 added 16 points to 2081 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 42 points to 4817. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 15 on the prior session. The new 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The Blue Chip index is -2.5% off its record high hit last May.
The market is maintaining a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) while the DOW and S&P 500 Index are consolidating above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. Sustained rallies require a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs) so the recent expansion in new highs was a reassuring sign. However, very few issues have appeared to meet the fact-based investment system's guidelines or make meaningful headway in recent weeks. 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 advanced to begin May as investors gauged corporate earnings reports and disappointing numbers on the data front. In economic news, the ISM’s survey of U.S. manufacturing fell to 50.8 in April, below expectations of 51.4 and last month’s 51.8 reading. Markit’s US manufacturing survey also yielded a 50.8 reading. All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session in positive territory. Consumer discretionary stocks paced the gains as Wynn Resorts (WYNN +6.77%) and Amazon.com (AMZN +3.68%) rose. Consumer staples shares outperformed as well, with Sysco (SYY +5.51%) rose as the food distributor’s earnings topped estimates. Helmerich & Payne (HP -4.64%) weighed down the Energy sector. AIG (AIG +1.38%) rose ahead of its scheduled release after the bell. In M&A news, Halliburton (HAL +1.79%) rose and Baker Hughes (BHI -1.99%) fell after the companies called off a $28 billion merger amid stiff resistance from regulators on antitrust concerns. Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note losing 8/32 to yield 1.86%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 2.2% to $44.90/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.2% to $1292.50/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar weakened against the euro. |
