Major Averages Slumping Further as Leadership Dries Up
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks declined on Thursday. The Dow was down 91 points to 17435. The S&P 500 lost 7 points to 2040 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 26 points to 4712. The volume total was reported higher on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers on the NYSE by 11-4 and on the Nasdaq exchange by more than 2-1. Leadership was increasingly elusive as there were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 10 on the prior session. New 52-lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The market's confirmed uptrend (M criteria) has come under pressure in recent weeks. The Dow and S&P 500 both violated their 50-day moving average lines. Sustained rallies require a healthy crop of leaders (stocks hitting new highs), however leadership has recently waned. Very few issues have appeared to meet the fact-based investment system's guidelines or make meaningful headway in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page includes current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts. The S&P 500 moved into negative territory for the year as investors reacted to yesterday’s hawkish Fed release. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 278,000, above the predicted 275,000. A separate report showed that U.S. leading indicators rose 0.6% in April, after a 0.2% increase in March. Finally, the Philadelphia Fed reported activity slowed in the Mid-Atlantic region in May. Six of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the session. Industrials and Financials were the worst performing groups. Consumer Staples shares outperformed with Wal-Mart (WMT +9.58%) rallying after beating results on the top and bottom line. Elsewhere in earnings news, Cisco (CSCO +3.18%) rose as the network equipment maker bested expectations. L Brands (LB -4.95%) fell after lowering its forward guidance. On the M&A front, Monsanto (MON +3.52%) on news the company received an unsolicited takeover bid from German agriculture giant Bayer AG (BAYRY -7.74). FMC Technologies (FTI -4.71%) after announcing an all-stock merger with Technip. Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note adding 1/32 to 1.84%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slipped 0.1% to $48.14/barrel. COMEX gold fell 1.5% to $1255.20/ounce. |
