Breadth Negative as Major Indices Ended Higher

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.1%), the S&P 500 (+0.3%), and the Nasdaq Composite (+0.8%) closed with gains. The Russell 2000 registered a 0.9% loss, and the S&P Mid Cap 400 fell 1.0%. Volume was lighter that the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, down from Friday's totals which were inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 30 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange for an 11th consecutive session. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating after a "negative reversal" on Friday at its all-time high.

The heavily-weighted information technology sector led the pack, gaining 1.3%, followed by the consumer discretionary (+0.7%) and financial (+0.2%) sectors. The materials sector (-1.6%) was the biggest loser followed by industrials (-1.1%). The rate-sensitive real estate (-1.0%) and utilities (-0.7%) sectors were also top laggards.

Apple (AAPL +2.91%), Amazon.com (AMZN +2.04%), Microsoft (MSFT +2.19%), and Tesla (TSLA +6.05%) were among the influential winners. Tesla was reacting to solid June deliveries from Chinese EV makers before reporting Q2 deliveries tomorrow. 

The latest economic news included below-consensus ISM Manufacturing Index for June. The 10-yr note yield settled 14 basis points higher at 4.48% and the 2-yr note yield jumped five basis points to 4.77%.

Perched Near All-Time High Following Recent Gap Up With Volume

Novo Nordisk (NVO +$2.68 or +1.88% to $145.42) posted a gain today with higher (near average) volume, consolidating above its "max buy" level. Fundamentals remain strong. Prior highs in the $138 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.

NVO was highlighted in the 6/07/24  mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/07/24 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 6/07/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Wedging Into New High Ground".

NVO reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +28% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 5th strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 372 in Dec '22 to 569 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B+.
