Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 Index Rise to New Highs

The S&P 500 Index (+0.9%) and Nasdaq Composite Index (+1.5%) rallied further into record territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.1%) ended slightly lower. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Market breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 66 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, more than tripling the total of 21 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. It was encouraging to see improvement in the new highs totals with the market showing some broad-based strength and resilience. Any uptrend requires healthy leadership.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

The May Consumer Price Index reflected some welcome disinflation on a year-over-year basis in total CPI (actual +3.3%; prior +3.4%) and core CPI (actual +3.4%; prior +3.6%).  The FOMC left the target range for the fed funds rate unchanged at 5.25-5.50%, as expected. The Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) showed a median estimate of only one rate cut this year versus three at the time of the March projections. The 10-yr note yield fell 11 basis points to 4.30% and the 2-yr note yield fell eight basis points to 4.75%. 

Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors rose and information technology logged the biggest gain. Apple (AAPL +2.9%), NVIDIA (NVDA  +3.6%), and Microsoft (MSFT +1.9%) were standouts. Oracle (ORCL +13.3%) jumped 13% on quarterly results and guidance.

Transdigm Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average

Transdigm Group Inc (TDG +$28.25 or +2.18% to $1,322.13) rose back above its "max buy" level with today's gain and its color code was changed to green. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($1,278) defines important near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.

TDG was last shown in this FSU section on 5/21/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Aerospace/Defense Firm Hitting Another All-Time High".  TDG reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +34% on +21% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 12th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Growth has been very strong after a downturn in FY '20 and '21 (A criteria) hurt its earnings track record. It has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,332 in Dec '22 to 1,580 in Mar '24, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 53.7 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of C-.
