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 Indices Fell With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow trimmed a more than 350 point decline to finish 176 points lower. The S&P 500 fell 0.8%, while the Nasdaq Composite retreated 0.7%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of a decrease in institutional selling. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 39 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 42 on the prior session. New 52-week highs matched 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 Nasdaq Composite Index is still sputtering well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

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. stocks finished lower on Wednesday as Wall Street deliberated the implications for monetary policy following upbeat economic data updates. Volatility remained elevated, with the major averages paring intraday losses of more than 1%.

On the data front, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed U.S. manufacturing sector growth unexpectedly accelerated in May, with the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) advancing to 56.1 from April’s 55.4 print. The update underscored solid demand as the new orders component advanced to the highest level in three months. Meanwhile, the measure of employment moved into contraction territory. Separately, the Jobs Opening and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) revealed job openings declined modestly to 11.4 million in April from March’s upwardly revised record 11.9 million open positions. In central bank news, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Beige Book indicated economic growth in four out of its 12 regions slowed since the prior period. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note rising five basis points (0.05%) to 2.92%. The more Fed sensitive two-year note yield spiked eight basis points (0.08%) to 2.65%.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory with Financials leading laggards. The Energy group was the lone advancer as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies forecasted further tightening of global oil supplies. In earnings, software maker Salesforce Inc. (CRM +9.88) rose after raising its full-year annual profit forecast.

Commodity-Linked Groups Had a Positive Bias
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.09%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.65%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.80%) each notched gains. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.64%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.97%) both created a drag on the major averages. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.23%) also edged lower. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.60%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -1.04%) both lost ground, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX +0.15%) inched higher.

Big Volume-Driven Gain Helped Technical Stance Improve
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Wesco International Inc (WCC +$6.71 or +5.34% to $132.29) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) after rebounding above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with gains lacking great volume but helping its outlook improve. Subsequent gains for a new high close backed by at least +40% above average volume would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand which could lead to a meaningful price advance.

WCC was last shown in this FSU section on 5/17/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Stalled After Recent Breakout But Remains Near High". The Electronic - Parts firm sputtered but showed resilience since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/20/22.

Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +154% on +22% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It reported strong Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '21 quarterly results versus the year ago periods, well above the +25% minimum guideline. Annual earnings growth has been steady. It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 97.

There is a small supply of only 50.7 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 owning its shares rose from 489 in Jun '21 to 546 in Mar '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication of slightly distributional action over the past 50 days.
