Indices Reversed Breaking Recent Winning Streak

The Dow dropped 108 points (-0.3%) while the Nasdaq Composite declined by -0.7% and the S&P 500 lost -0.4%. Volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative with decliners leading advancers by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 87 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 67 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index ended lower on Friday after touching a new 2023 high. The benchmark index rallied +6.9% while posting 5 consecutive weekly gains.

Only three of 11 sectors ended higher on Friday. Traders grappled with the difficult choice of possibly missing out on the rally or dealing with a potentially overbought market. On the data front, the monthly University of Michigan Sentiment Index beat expectations in June, showing marked improvement compared to May. Consumer expectations on inflation also showed more optimism compared to market forecasts; the University of Michigan Expected Change in Prices During the Next Year came in at 3.3% in June, lower than the surveyed expectation of 4.1%.

Treasury yields increased today. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note added five basis points (0.05%) to 3.77%, while the 30-year bond yield added one basis point (0.01%) to 3.85%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Federal Reserve policy, increased by eight basis points (0.08%) to 4.72%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased to $71.69/barrel finishing the week in positive territory. Market concerns on weakening demand from a softening economy are balanced by optimism on Chinese demand strength and supply cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+).

Financial, Retail, and Semiconductor Indexes Fell

The Gold & Silver ($XAU +0.89%) posted a standout gain on Friday. The Bank ($BKX -0.71%), Broker/Dealer ($XBD -0.43%), and the Retail ($RLX -0.97%) each lost ground and created a drag on the major averages. The Semiconductor ($SOX -0.94%) led the tech sector lower, meanwhile the Biotech ($BTK -0.12%) and the Networking ($NWX +0.09%) both ended little changed. The Integrated Oil ($XOI -0.03%) finished flat while the Oil Services ($OSX -0.49%) edged lower.

PICTURED: The Bank ($BKX -0.71%) finished Friday's session lower but remains above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It is still -45% off its record high hit 1/13/22.

"Negative Reversal" Following Recent Volume-Driven Gains

Comfort Systems U S A (FIX -$1.07 or -0.66% to $161.58) had a "negative reversal" after hitting a new all-time high. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. 

Annual earnings history has been strong and steady.  It now has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Bullish action came after it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +66% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. FIX was highlighted in yellow in the 2/23/23 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 11/23/22 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in greater detail on 5/12/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Churning Action While Recently Hovering Near All-Time High". 

It hails from the Building - A/C & Heating Products group which is currently ranked 23rd on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a small supply of only 35.8 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 that own its shares rose from 487 in Jun '22 to 607 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign regarding the I criteria.
