Major Indices Fell While Small Caps Posted Gains

The major averages lost ground on Friday. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 20 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 7 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE but new lows still outnumbered new highs 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 Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back for a 3rd consecutive loss.

Microsoft (MSFT -1.2%) and Apple (AAPL -0.6%) were among the more influential laggards, contributing to the underperformance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.6%) and the information technology sector (-0.4%). 

Small caps and value stocks exhibited relative strength throughout the session, reflecting the pro-growth mentality. The Russell 2000 rose 1.2% while the Russell Value Indices all outperformed their growth counterparts.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 209,000 while nonfarm private payrolls rose by just 149,000. The ADP Report on Thursday estimated that 497,000 jobs were added to private sector payrolls in June, so the official employment report mitigated the strength of that reading. Overall, the employment report supported the soft landing narrative.

Concerning Treasuries, the 2-yr note yield fell seven basis points to 4.94% and the 10-yr note yield rose one basis point to 4.05%.
