Major Indices Rose With More Leadership But Less Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow was up 0.3%, the S&P 500 added 0.6%, and the Nasdaq gained 0.9%. Stocks finished higher on Friday. The Dow was up 55 points to 21006. The S&P 500 added 9 points to 2399 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 25 points to 6100. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 69 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 52 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, perched within close striking distance of its record high.
The major averages' (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend, and there has remains a healthy level of market leadership (number of high-ranked stocks hitting new highs). New buying efforts should be made only in stocks matching all of the fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The S&P 500 climbed to a record high on Friday following a better-than-expected jobs report. Non-farm payrolls grew 211,000 in April versus a projected 190,000 increase. The labor force participation rate was modestly lower from the previous month at 62.9%. Finally, the unemployment rate came in at 4.4%, a 10-year low. According to Bloomberg data, futures are currently pricing a 100% probability of a rate hike at June’s FOMC meeting. Overseas, investors await Sunday’s final round of voting in the French presidential election.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Energy shares paced the gains with Occidental Petroleum (OXY +4.10%) rising. Telecom stocks outperformed with AT&T (T +1.45%) up. CBS Corp (CBS +2.11%) rose as quarterly results topped expectations, boosted by content licensing and subscription fees. In Technology, Activision Blizzard (ATVI +1.37%) rose as the video game maker reported better-than-expected quarterly profit. Shares of IBM (IBM -2.51%) was lower amid reports that Warren Buffett has sold about a third of his stake in the company.
Treasuries edged higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 2/32 to yield 2.35%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rebounded 1.8% to $46.34/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.2%. |

Commodity-Linked Groups Were Standout Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -0.29%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.48) ended slightly in the red on Friday. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.14%) finished with a tiny gain.

The tech sector was mixed as the Networking Index ($NWX +0.24%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.42%) both posted small gains and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.67%) lost ground. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.42%) stalled after recently touching a new record high, and now it is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Y - Pulled back today with light volume, closing just above its 50 DMA line. Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the above average volume needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. The 50 DMA line ($23.80) and recent low ($21.89 on 3/22/17) define support where violations would raise more serious concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.

Sank further below its 50 DMA line today with a loss on above average volume raising greater concerns. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line ($87.06) would help its outlook improve. Reported earnings +13% on +10% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns.

Repeatedly noted with caution - "The 2 latest quarterly comparisons (Sep and Dec '16) were below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), and its waning sales revenues growth rate was also noted recently as a fundamental concern.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/17/17 high plus 10 cents. Wedging into new high territory with recent gains lacking great volume conviction. Its current Relative Strength rank is 79, just below the 80+ guideline for buy candidates. Recent lows near the $276 area define important support where more damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
