TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Lower volume on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange suggested that the latest solid gains for the major indices 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 slid 348 points, posting a 0.9% weekly drop. The S&P 500 declined 1.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 2.5%. Both benchmarks turned negative for the week, falling 1.2% and 1%, respectively. Volume totals for Friday were reported lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and almost 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchangeThe major indices have been in a noted market correction (M criteria). Sources at the newspaper, following last Thursday's session, relabeled it a "confirmed uptrend" despite flaws noted in our ongoing 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average ended lower on Friday with lighter volume. The 3 major indexes cannot be said to be in "healthy" technical shape while all of them are sputtering well below both their 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Regular readers of this commentary know to be watching closely for signs 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 ended firmly lower on Friday as a solid monthly jobs report heightened expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would continue to aggressively tighten monetary policy in a bid to combat inflation. On the data front, the Department of Labor showed nonfarm payrolls climbed a better-than-expected 390,000 in May, easing from April’s upwardly revised 436,000 addition. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.6% for a third straight month. Average hourly earnings climbed 5.2% year-over-year, moderating from April’s 5.5% annual uptick. Elsewhere, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed growth in the U.S. services sector eased last month, with the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) declining to 55.9 from the prior 57.1 print. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note adding three basis points (0.03%) to 2.94%, settling the week 0.20% higher.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with Energy the lone advancer. Consumer Discretionary stocks lagged amid a drop in Tesla Inc. (TSLA -9.22%) after its CEO provided a gloomy economic outlook and said the electric car maker needs to reduce 10% of its workforce. Information Technology also underperformed, with Micron Technology Inc (MU -7.20%) down after being the subject of an analyst downgrade. In other corporate news, Turning Point Therapeutics Inc. (TPTX +118.35%) gapped higher after Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (BMY +0.13%) said it would pay $76 a share to acquire the biotech company known for developing lung cancer treatments.
