TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

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. 


Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved as Major Indices Rose

The Dow rallied 264 points, while the S&P 500 climbed nearly 1%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.9%. Volume totals for Tuesday were reported mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 33 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 exchange. The major indices have been in a noted market correction (M criteria). Sources at the newspaper, following the Thursday 5/26/22 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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain 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 finished firmly higher during a volatile session Tuesday as investors continued to weigh economic uncertainty ahead of Friday’s update on U.S. inflation. Treasuries strengthened, recouping some of yesterday’s sell-off. The yield on the 10-year note slid six basis points (0.06%) to 2.98% after reclaiming the 3.00% level for the first time in nearly a month on Monday. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 1.3% to $120.01/barrel.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Energy pacing the gains. The Consumer Discretionary group was the lone laggard with Target Corp. (TGT -2.31%) fell after the retailer slashed its profit forecast for a second time in just three weeks amid excess inventory. In earnings, J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM +5.72%) rose as analyst commentary leaned positive despite the company providing lower-than-expected full-year earnings estimates.

Global central bank tightening remained in focus. The Reserve Bank of Australia increased its benchmark rate by a larger-than-expected 0.50%, while the European Central Bank is widely anticipated to announce the end of its bond buying program this week, setting the stage for rate hikes in July. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve officials are in their quiet period ahead of next week’s June 14-15 meeting.

On the data front, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed the most on record (in dollar terms) in April to $87.1 billion from the prior month’s $107.7 billion shortfall as COVID-19 lockdowns in China pressured imports. An update on consumer credit showed borrowing surged by a bigger-than-expected $38.1 billion in April.

Financial, Tech, and Energy Linked Groups Led Gainers

The Bank Index ($BKX +0.83%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.21%) both had a positive influence on the major averages, meanwhile weakness for the Retail Index ($RLX -0.98%) created a drag. The Biotech Index ($BTK +2.36%) led the tech sector higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.99%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.74%) both posted smaller gains. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.27%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.95%) both posted solid gains while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.55%) also edged higher.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -0.98%) pulled back today after recently rebounding toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior low.

Paused After Hitting New High With Volume-Driven Gains

Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE -$0.79 or -0.12% to $634.98) paused today after reaching a new all-time high following 4 consecutive volume-driven gains. Confirming gains for new highs with at least +40% above average volume would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand. It was highlighted in yellow in the 6/06/22 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 1/13/22 high plus 10 cents and it was noted - "A strong gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal."

Fundamentals have been strong. COKE has a 93 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +29% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been very strong after a slight downturn in FY '18.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 379 in Jun '21 to 425 in Mar '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. There are only 4.6 million shares in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility due to any buying or selling by the institutional crowd.
