Major Averages Ended Mixed With Less Volume and Less Leadership

On Wednesday the Dow was up 24 points to 18372. The S&P 500 gained less than a point to 2152 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 17 points to 5005. The benchmark S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both hit new record highs. 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).  Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 72 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 110 on the prior session. New 52-week highs contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

The major averages fluctuated in choppy trading as investors digested corporate earnings and updates on the economy. The Fed’s Beige Book release showed the economy expanded modestly in mid-May and June, but with little indication that inflation would pick up soon. In a separate report, import prices increased 0.2% in June, slightly below analyst estimates.

Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished the session in positive territory. Utilities and Telecom stocks paced the gains while Energy shares declined. Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA +3.81%) rose after a positive pre-announcement of fiscal second-quarter earnings. CSX (CSX +4.40%) rose as the freight transportation company topped analyst profit estimates. Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN -0.75%) edged lower despite the company reporting its “Prime Day” was its biggest sales day ever. The Michaels Co. (MIK -6.06%) fell as the company revised its quarterly guidance.

Treasuries finished higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 11/32 to yield 1.47%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 4% to $44.94/barrel, after the EIA’s weekly update on U.S. fuel inventories showed a 1.21 million barrel increase. COMEX gold gained 0.6% to $1343.90/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar index was off 0.1%.

Negative Reversal After Touching New High

China Lodging Group Ads (HTHT -$0.76 or -1.92% to $38.81) reversed into the red after touching a new 52-week high (N criteria) today. Members were cautioned - "Gains for new highs and a strong close backed by at least +40% above average volume may help clinch a convincing technical buy signal."

It has reported earnings increases more than +25% (C criteria) in the past 3 quarterly comparisons through Mar '16 while sales revenues increases were in the +11-14% range. Annual earnings (A criteria) have improved after a downturn in FY '11.

The number of top-rated funds owing its shares rose from 87 in Sep '15 to 108 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Currently the high-ranked  Leisure- Lodging firm has an A Timeliness rating but a D Sponsorship rating. Its small supply of 16.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
