TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Conditions are technically still considered a market "correction" (M criteria). Investors are still cautioned about making new buying efforts until a solid follow-through day marked by higher volume is noted confirming a new uptrend.


Major Indices Rose With Better Leadership But Lackluster Volume

The major indices all registered gains ranging from 0.3% to 0.9%. Volume reported was 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 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 91 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 65 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. The major indices remain in a market correction (M criteria). Patience is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating after rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Gains have lacked great volume after damaging losses.

Equinix (EQIX +11.5%), NRG Energy (NRG +7.8%), and Steris (STE +7.6%) were the top performing stocks in the S&P 500 following pleasing earnings and/or guidance. Meanwhile, EPAM Systems (EPAM -27.0%) was the worst performing stock in the S&P 500. 

The S&P 500 information technology sector (-0.3%) was the lone sector to finish in negative territory. The other ten S&P 500 sectors aside from info tech logged gains ranging from 0.4% to 2.3%. The real estate sector was the top performer, followed by the utilities (+1.5%) and energy (+1.4%) sectors. 

The 2-yr note yield settled three basis points lower at 4.81% and the 10-yr note yield declined four basis points to 4.45%. There was a weaker-than-expected weekly jobless claims report. A fresh $25 billion 30-yr bond auction attracted solid demand.

PICTURED: The 3-year graph of the Bank Index ($BKX +0.78%) illustrates the deep and choppy consolidation since its January 2022 all-time high. During that period of time interest rates rose more quickly and sharply than any other time in 40 years. Recent improvement for bank stocks has come in anticipation of rate cuts that have not yet been seen.
