Tech-Heavy Nasdaq Composite Led as Major Indexes Ended Mixed

The Dow fell 4 points (-0.01%), while the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.0%. Volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 29 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 54 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs for the 3rd consecutive session 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 is consolidating after hitting a new 2023 high. 

Five of 11 sectors rose while U.S. equities were mixed on Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite recovering from losses early in trading. Investors reacted to economic data and hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Consumer Discretionary led the way, up 1.5%.

Treasuries weakened today. The yield on the 10-year note rose seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.79%, and the 30-year bond yield was up six basis points (0.06%) to 3.87%. Meanwhile, the yield on the two-year note climbed eight basis points (0.08%) to 4.78%.

On the data front today, initial jobless claims for the week ended June 17 came in higher than expected, holding steady at 264,000 from the prior week’s slight upward revision, suggesting the labor market is cooling somewhat. Continuing claims fell 13,000 to 1.759 million. On the housing data front, existing home sales beat expectations, increasing 0.2% to 4.3 million. Meanwhile, the Conference Board U.S. Leading Index of economic indicators fell 0.7% in May, continuing to signal an economic slowdown.

In the central bank arena, Fed Chair Jerome Powell wrapped up his testimony to the Senate Banking Panel where he reiterated that the Fed is not done hiking rates. Meanwhile in comments to the Cleveland Fed, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman reinforced that “additional policy-rate increases will be necessary to bring inflation down to our target over time.”

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 4.3% to $69.43/barrel on lingering demand concerns.

Retail Index Posts Standout Gain and Tech Indexes Edged Higher

The Bank Index ($BKX -2.32%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.44%) both lost ground while the Retail Index ($RLX +2.46%) helped offset the drag on the major averages as it posted a solid gain. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.57%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.22%), and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.23%) each posted modest gains. The energy-linked groups fell as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.42%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.66%) each lost ground, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.27%) also edged lower.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.57%) is consolidating near its 2023 high after rallying well above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Hubbell on Track for 11th Weekly Gain

Hubbell (HUBB -$1.34 or -0.42% to $321.43) pulled back today with below-average volume following a new all-time high. It is very extended from the prior base and on track for an 11th consecutive weekly gain. Prior highs in the $263 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.

HUBB was highlighted yellow in the 4/25/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/06/23 high as it gapped up after a 4-month "double bottom" base. It was last shown in great detail in this FSU section on 6/01/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Extended From Prior Base and Perched Near High".

Strong action came after it reported strong Mar '23 quarterly earnings +70% on +11% sales revenues over the year-ago period. Its Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '22 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic. It has a 94 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates..

The high-ranked Electrical-Power/Equipmt firm has 53.6 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 owning its shares rose from 805 in Jun '22 to 1,335 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 is an unbiased indication it has been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a C Sponsorship Rating.

A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to help its outlook improve. It was repeatedly noted - "It did not form a sound new base of sufficient length but quickly recovered after testing its 4/27/23 low. Reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings +60% on +9% sales revenues versus the year-ago period."
