Leadership Improved But Major Indices Still Appear Indecisive
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow declined 8 points while the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.4% and the S&P 500 fell 0.2% on Friday. For the week, the major averages finished mixed amid recessionary woes and optimism on easing inflation. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of less institutional conviction. Decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on 3-2 the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 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 19 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and 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 S&P 500 Index is consolidating above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and remains perched within close striking distance of its 2023 high.

Seven of 11 sectors finished in positive territory while U.S. equities finished lower Friday amid heightened concerns over the economic outlook. Investor sentiment came under pressure after today’s planned meeting between President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy regarding the debt ceiling was postponed. Regional bank shares tumbled today as worries over the banking sector persisted.

On the data front, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index ticked lower to 57.7 in May, its lowest in six months. The short-term inflation expectations component of the report eased less than expected to 4.5%, while the long-term expectations component unexpectedly ticked higher to 3.2%, its highest level in over ten years. Meanwhile, the import price index came in higher than expected at 0.4% month-over-month in April, notching its first rise in 2023, after falling a revised 0.8% in March. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.46%, while the 30-year bond yield advanced five basis points (0.05%) to 3.78%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, rose 10 basis points (0.10%) to 3.99%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude shed 1% to $70.13/barrel amid strength in the U.S. dollar and concerns over the global demand outlook.

Retail and Financial Indexes Edged Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.73%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.79%) both lost ground and created a drag on the major indices on Friday and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.33%) also edged lower. Commodity-linked groups were little changed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.04%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.07%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.06%) all finished flat. The tech sector was indecisive as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.20%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -0.08%) inched lower while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.24%) inched higher.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -0.73%) has made gradual progress above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines toward the February high.

Churning Action While Recently Hovering Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Comfort Systems U S A (FIX +$0.29 or +0.19% to $150.29) inched higher today with lighter volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made no meaningful price progress in the past 2 weeks while churing above average volume, which is action indictive of distributional pressure. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication of neutral action over the past 50 days concerning Accumulation/Distribution. Additional confirming volume-driven gains to new highs would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($141) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Annual earnings history has been strong and steady. It now has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Bullish action came after it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +66% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. FIX was highlighted in yellow in the 2/23/23 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 11/23/22 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in greater detail on 4/21/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Near 50-Day Moving Average and -10.5% off High."

It hails from the Building - A/C & Heating Products group which is currently ranked 26th on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a small supply of only 35.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds that own its shares rose from 487 in Jun '22 to 594 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign regarding the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio is 1.0, an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
