Major Indices Rose With Greater Leadership and Higher Volume

The S&P 500 ascended 1.4%, ending the week 4.3% higher, while Dow added 315 points, recording a five-session increase of nearly 3%. Both benchmarks notched their best month since November 2020 (+9.1% and 6.7%, respectively). The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.9%, bringing its weekly advance to 4.7%. The tech-heavy index recorded its strongest monthly performance since April 2020 (+12.4%). The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 29 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend has been under some pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the improvement in leadership was a reassuring sign.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a 3rd consecutive gain with higher volume, rebounding further above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It remains well below its 200 DMA line.

U.S. stocks finished firmly higher Friday, with the major averages capping robust monthly gains. Notably, all three major averages logged their first two-week winning streak since the end of the first quarter. The yield on the 10-year note slipped one basis point (0.01%) to 2.66%, finishing the month 36 basis points (0.36%) lower at a trough not seen since April.

In earnings, reports from mega-cap names lifted the mood. Apple Inc. (AAPL +3.25%) rose after resilient iPhone sales helped the company beat expectations. Meanwhile, Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN +10.40%) rose as the e-commerce giant provided upbeat guidance.

Optimism over a potential Federal Reserve (Fed) policy pivot in light of weakening data has also aided risk appetite this week. Yesterday’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) print showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly contracted during the April-June period, marking a second consecutive negative reading and meeting one widely-cited definition of a technical recession.

On the data front today, personal spending jumped a better-than-projected 1.1% in June. Separately, a final July update from the University of Michigan confirmed consumer sentiment recovered from its all-time low of 50.0 in June, with the reading upwardly revised to 51.5 from an initial 51.1 print. However, long-term inflation expectations remained elevated near an 11-year peak, while the core PCE Deflator (the Fed’s preferred proxy for inflation) climbed 4.8% year-over-year in June, accelerating modestly.

Volume Heavy Behind Technical Breakout

Clearfield Inc (CLFD +$13.98 or +16.53% to $98.55) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/30/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It spiked to a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal. The volume total was +395% above average behind the gain, action indicative of institutional buying demand

CLFD has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +109% on +84% sales revenues above the year ago period. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '17.

CLFD was last shown in this FSU section on 12/30/21 with an annotated graph under the headline "Negative Reversal After Hitting a New All Time High". It showed resilience and made a choppy rebound since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/19/22.

TheTELECOMMUNICATIONS - Fiber Optics group is currently ranked 39th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). There are only 13.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 132 in Jun '20 to 259 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating is A and Timeliness Rating is A, but its Sponsorship Rating is C.
