Nasdaq Compsite Led Major Indices Lower

The S&P 500 settled -0.6% lower and the Nasdaq Composite closed down -1.1%. Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 54 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Bullish action in the major indices recently confirmed a new market uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has recently been consolidating after rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It is -1.4% off its all-time high hit on 7/16/24.

The information technology sector fell -1.3%. A sharp decline in shares of Super Micro Computer (SMCI -19.02%), the worst performing stock in the S&P 500, contributed to the underperformance of the info tech sector. SMCI said it is delaying its annual 10K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, to "complete its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of its internals controls over financial reporting." Bath & Body Works (BBWI -7.00%) and J.M Smucker (SJM -4.95%) were the next worst performing stocks in the S&P 500 following their quarterly results. 

The financial sector (+0.3%) and the health care sector (+0.1%) led S&P 500 sectors. Gains in many bank stocks boosted the financial sector. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B +0.86%) contributed to the performance of the financial sector after briefly topping a $1 trillion value in terms of market capitalization.

The 10-yr note yield settled one basis point higher at 3.84% and the 2-yr note yield settled three basis points lower at 3.87%.
