Breadth Negative and Leadership Thinned as Major Indices Sputtered
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 82 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each dipped less than 0.1%. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There was 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Solid gains from all major averages on Friday with much higher volume, coupled with an increase in the number of stocks hitting new highs, marked a powerful follow-through day confirming a new market uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered a 3rd consecutive loss and remains well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.
U.S. stocks finished little changed in directionless trading Wednesday. Investors digested commentary from central bank leaders and continued to weigh the likelihood of a looming recession. The path of least resistance has continued to skew to the downside as worries of slowing economic growth and persistent inflation remain market overhangs. However, outsized quarter-end rebalancing have been widely cited as buoying equities over the past week. Both the Dow and S&P 500 are positioned for their worst quarter since 2020, while the Nasdaq Composite is on track for its worst three-month period since 2008.
Treasuries rallied, with the yield on the 10-year note falling nine basis points (0.09%) to 3.09%. In central bank news, Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell stated the U.S. economy was in “strong shape,” suggesting that monetary policy tightening could bring down inflation while preserving a solid labor market. On the data front, a final reading of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) showed the U.S. economy contracted at a 1.6% annualized pace during the January through March period, compared to the prior -1.5% reading. Notably, the measure of personal consumption was downwardly revised to reflect an annualized 1.8% uptick, well below the previous 3.1% increase.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with the more defensive Health Care and Consumer Staples groups outperforming. Shares of cruise line operators slumped after Carnival Corp. (CCL -14.13%) fell following downbeat analyst commentary. In earnings, General Mills Inc. (GIS +6.35%) rose after boosting its quarterly dividend and providing better-than-expected forward guidance.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.20%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.91%) suffered a smaller loss and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.20%) eked out a small gain. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.92%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -3.72%) both outpaced the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.08%) to the downside.
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.08%) is undercutting prior lows after its 50-day moving average (DMA) line recently sliced below its 200 DMA line.
