Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Friday the Dow climbed 546 points (1.7%), while the Nasdaq Composite added 2.3% and S&P 500 advanced 1.9%. For the week, the S&P 500 and Dow finished lower, while the Nasdaq Composite notched a weekly gain. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by almost a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 29 on the prior session. New 52-week lows narrowly outnumbered new highs on the NYSE and led by a larger margin on the Nasdaq exchange.The major indices are in an uptrend under pressure (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index quickly rebounded near its 2023 high with a gain backed by lighter volume breaking a 4-day losing streak.

All sectors finished in positive territory on Friday as investors digested better-than-expected quarterly earnings from Apple Inc (AAPL +4.69%) . The technology giant beat top- and bottom-line estimates in the latest quarter amid a jump in iPhone sales. Regional bank shares also rallied today after being under pressure this week due to concerns about the health of the Financials sector.

On the data front today, the U.S. added 253,000 nonfarm payrolls in April, up from March’s revised 165,00 jobs, amid gains in healthcare and education jobs. The unemployment rate ticked lower to 3.4%, matching the lowest reading since 1969. Average hourly earnings rose 0.5% month-over-month, the biggest increase in wages since July, and 4.4% year-over-year. The labor force participation rate came in at 62.6%, unchanged from March’s data. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.43%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed three basis points (0.03%) to 3.75%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, advanced 15 basis points (0.15%) to 3.91%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude jumped 4.1% to $71.38/barrel but still finished the week lower amid concerns over the course of monetary policy and the global demand outlook.

Powered above its 50 DMA line ($140.70) with a considerable gain backed by twice its average volume. Its color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/23 high plus 10 cents. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $152 level.
