TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Lower volume on the NYSE suggested that both Thursday and Friday's solid gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index were not the result of increasing institutional buying demand. The market remains in a correction (M criteria) as arguably the rally still needs a solid confirmation. An opportunity for a valid follow-through day remains open unless the recent lows or May 20th lows are violated.

Major Averages Fell With Higher Volume Totals

The Dow slid 222 points, snapping a six-day winning streak but still eking out monthly gain of less than 0.1%. The S&P 500 lost 0.6%, finishing little changed in May. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4% extending its monthly decline to 2.1%. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling termed "distribution". Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 42 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 46 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have been in a noted market correction (M criteria). Sources at the newspaper, following Thursday's session, relabeled it a "confirmed uptrend" despite flaws noted in our market commentaries. Followers of the fact-based investment system know to watch for a follow-through day backed by higher volume which could signal a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index churned heavier volume Tuesday following Monday's closure in observance of Memorial Day, ending virtually unchanged for the month of May.

Lower volume on the NYSE on prior sessions suggested that both Thursday and Friday's solid gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index were not the result of truly increasing institutional buying demand. Arguably, the rally still needs confirmation, and an opportunity for a valid follow-through day remains open unless the recent lows or May 20th lows are violated.

U.S. equities resumed their downward trajectory on Tuesday as investors took stock of a volatile month and assessed renewed worries that persistent inflation could dampen economic growth. An update showed consumer prices in Europe surged a record 8.1% year-over-year in May. Meanwhile, oil prices held near their highest level in 12-weeks after the European Union said they would place a partial ban on Russian crude imports.

Treasuries weakened following hawkish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller. He voiced support for raising rates by 0.50% at the next several policy meetings until inflation comes down closer to the Fed’s 2% target. The yield on the 10-year note spiked 13 basis points (0.13%) to 2.87%, though shed five basis points (0.05%) in May. On the data front, the Conference Board’s gauge of consumer confidence fell to 106.4 in May from last month’s upwardly revised 108.6 print. Separately, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index showed home prices jump 21.2% year-over-year in March. Meanwhile, the Dallas Fed’s index of general business activity unexpectedly fell into negative territory for the first time since July 2020.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. The Consumer Discretionary group outperformed after shares of Amazon.com, Inc (AMZN +4.40%) rose. In corporate news, Unilever PLC (UL +9.89%) rose after the company named an activist investor to its board.
