Major Indices Rose With Greater Volume and More Leadership

The Dow climbed 526 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1.9%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.8%. Advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of another increase in institutional buying demand. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, more than doubling the total of 18 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices remain in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria)Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it was encouraging to see the new highs totals improve.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is -11% off its record high. It found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and rebounded near its 200 DMA line.  Subsequent gains above the 200 DMA line and above the prior high would be a reassuring sign of improving market health. 

Stocks advanced for a third-straight session on Tuesday as investors assessed a record rebound in retail sales and raised expectations for additional stimulus measures. Media outlets reported that the Trump administration was drafting an infrastructure plan worth nearly $1 trillion. Elsewhere, news that a widely available steroid drug showed promise in treating critically ill COVID-19 patients also boosted risk sentiment.

On the data front, retail sales posted a record rebound of 17.7% in May, more than twice consensus estimates, as states began easing COVID-19-related restrictions. Separately, both industrial and manufacturing production advanced by less than projected last month. Additionally, a release from the NAHB revealed homebuilder sentiment improved more than forecasted in June. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note adding four basis points to 0.75%.

The Federal Reserve’s semi-annual monetary policy report was also in focus, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell testifying before Congress. He reiterated that the U.S. economy faces a long road to recovery despite signs of stabilization. Yesterday, the major averages erased early session losses as the Federal Reserve announced plans to purchase individual corporate bonds, broadening their credit facility and signaling its ongoing support to the economy.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with 10 group rising more than 1.2%. The Energy group paced the gains as WTI crude rose 2.6% to $38.08/barrel. Health Care stocks also outperformed, with Eli Lily (LLY +15.68%) surging after the drug maker revealed positive results for a potential breast cancer therapy.

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Energy Groups Led Gainers

The Retail Index ($RLX +2.25%) posted a solid gain, and the Bank Index ($BKX +2.19%) outpaced the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.55%) as financials also helped underpin the market rebound.  The tech sector had a positive bias as the Networking Index ($NWX +3.70%) set a strong pace and the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.21%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.80%) both rose. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.14%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI 3.16%) both rose, but the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.67%) was a standout decliner .
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

Still Below 50-Day Moving Average Following Damaging Gap Down

Emergent Biosolutions (EBS -$0.88 or -1.24% to $70.19) has continued to sputter after a damaging gap down and volume-driven loss on 6/08/20 triggered a worrisome technical sell signal. Subsequent gains and a convincing rebound above the 50-day moving average DMA line ($75.75) are still needed to help its outlook improve. 

Fundamentals remain strong. EBS was last shown in this FSU section on 5/26/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Light Behind Recent Pullback From All-Time High". It currently has a 91 Earnings Per Share Rating, putting it in the top 10% of all publicly traded companies based on its earnings history. It reported Mar '20 earnings of 1 cent per share versus a 10 cents per share loss for the year ago period with +1% better sales revenues. Earnings rose +101% on +33% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, and earnings rose +120% on +80% sales revenues in the Sep '19 quarter, very strong quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong since a downturn in FY '16.

It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 45.1 million shares in the publicly traded float 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 453 in Sep '19 to 467 in Mar '20, and its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness rating and an B- Accumulation/Distribution rating. The company is in the Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry group which is a leading group currently ranked 7th out of the 197 industry groups (L criteria).
