Indices Reverse to End Lower After Surge to New All-Time Highs

The major indices extended further into record territory on Thursday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above 40,000 for the first time, but all indices closed with modest losses after early gains faded. Volume reported was mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth had a slightly negative bias as decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained healthy as there were 89 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 115 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index paused and churned heavier volume after hitting a new all-time highs with volume-driven gains.

Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered declines, but none fell more than -0.8%. The consumer discretionary sector was the worst performer, dropping 0.8%, followed by the materials sector, which closed 0.7% lower.  The S&P 500 consumer staples sector was alone in positive territory at the close, showing a 1.5% gain. A sizable gain in shares of Walmart (WMT +6.99%) following impressive earnings results and outlook. Fellow Dow component Cisco (CSCO -2.68%) fell following its earnings news.

Thursday's economic data included weekly jobless claims below slowdown-like levels and housing starts weaker-than-expected April. April import-export prices, the May Philadelphia Fed Index, and April industrial production were reported without any drastic surprises. The 10-yr note yield settled two basis points higher at 4.38% and the 2-yr note yield settled five basis points higher at 4.79%.
