Major Indices Ended Mixed With Breadth Also Evenly Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 slipped 0.2%, eking out a weekly advance of 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite shed 0.5%, still logging a five-session gain of 2.2%. Both benchmarks notched their first three-week winning stretch since the very beginning of April. The Dow added 76 points in a late-session rebound, paring its weekly decline to 0.1%..The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the NYSE. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 22 on the prior session. New 52-week highs were outnumbered by new 52-week lows on the NYSE, meanwhile news highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange for again. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the recent improvement in leadership was a reassuring sign.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain with lighter volume. It has recently been making progress above its June high but still remains well below its 200 DMA line.
U.S. equities finished mixed on Friday as Wall Street assessed the likely path of Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes in light of the latest monthly jobs data. The Labor Department showed the U.S. economy added 528,000 non-farm payrolls in July, the most since February, and more than double estimates of a 250,000 increase. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5%, while average hourly earnings climbed 5.2% year-over-year, matching the prior month’s upwardly revised gain.
Stocks traded mostly lower as the update dampened optimism over a central bank policy pivot. Instead, the report bolstered expectations for another ultra-aggressive 0.75% rate hike in September as it provided evidence of economic resiliency following hawkish Fedspeak this week.
Treasuries tumbled, with the more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield closing the week 36 basis points (0.36%) higher at 3.24%. The yield on the 10-year note jumped to 2.83%, but remained well below the shorter-term yield as the inversion of this part of the yield curve deepened amid recessionary concerns. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar surged 0.8%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude retreated over 10% for the week, closing at $88.35/barrel.
In earnings, Warner Bros Discovery Inc. (WBD -16.53%) fell following a quarterly loss and reduction to its forward guidance. In other corporate news, Tesla Inc. (TSLA -6.53%) after its shareholders approved a three-for-one stock split.
