Benchmark S&P 500 Index Hits New Record High

Stocks finished higher on Monday. The Dow was up 80 points to 18226. The S&P 500 gained 26 points to 2124 and the Nasdaq Composite added 31 points to 4988. The benchmark S&P 500 Index hit a new record high while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended -0.7% off its record high. Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria).  The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 119 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 98 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

The S&P 500 climbed to an all-time high on Monday extending the rally from last week’s better-than-expected jobs report. Stocks advanced as investors looked ahead to the start of second-quarter earnings season. There was a gain for shares of Alcoa (AA +3.26%), which unofficially kicked off reporting season after the close. In M&A news, Kinder Morgan (KMI +3.67%) rose as the company sold a 50% stake in its southeastern pipeline system to Southern Co (SO -0.65%) for $1.47 billion.

Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session in positive territory. Technology stocks paced the gains while Health Care shares declined. Alliance Data Systems (ADS +4.69%) rose as ValueAct Capital disclosed a 6.8% stake in the company. CBS (CBS +0.79%) rose after the media giant filed to take its CBS Radio business public. CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW -3.45%) was a notable decliner after being the subject of negative analyst commentary.

Treasuries declined along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 22/32 to yield 1.43%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 2% to $44.51/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.3% to $1354.90/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar surged over 2.2% against the yen.

New Highs Lack Important Institutional Volume Punch

Fortune Brands Home & Security Inc (FBHS +$0.89 or +1.48% to $61.10) hit another new high with below average volume behind today's 4th consecutive gain. Without volume at least +40% above average there is not the critical proof of lurking heavy institutional buying demand which is likely to lead to a sustained and meaningful price advance. Members were repeatedly reminded since first featured in the 6/22/16 mid-day report - "It needs subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point to trigger a technical buy signal.")

FBHS was last shown in this FSU section on 6/22/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Wait Continues for Technical Breakout", after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/21/16 high plus 10 cents. The high-ranked Building - Construction Products firm has shown encouraging earnings acceleration in sequential quarters, up +16%, +23%, +27% and +39% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '15 and Mar '16 quarters, respectively. The larger than +25% increases (C criteria) help it better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
