Major Indices Rose with Slightly Higher Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Nasdaq climbed 1.1% and the market-cap weighted S&P 500 rose 0.7%, both closing near their best levels of the day and above their respective 50-day moving averages. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 24 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 25 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid gain and closed back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Strength from some mega cap names provided a nice boost to the broader market. Tesla (TSLA +10.09%) was a notable outperformer after an analyst upgrade. Most of the S&P 500 sectors logged gains. Consumer discretionary (+2.8%) was the top performing sector by a wide margin. The energy sector (-1.3%) fell and was the worst performing sector.

The 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.99% and the 10-yr note yield rose three basis points to 4.29%. There was a lack of strong conviction ahead of a busy week of economic data. This week's calendar features the August Consumer Price Index on Wednesday, followed by the August Producer Price Index and Retail Sales report on Thursday.

The New York Fed's August 2023 Survey of Consumer Expectations showed that households are less optimistic about their financial situation. Inflation expectations rose slightly at the short- and longer-term horizons and fell slightly at the medium-term horizon. Income growth perceptions declined in August, and job loss expectations rose sharply to its highest level since April 2021.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +1.95%) posted a standout gain while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.30%) edged higher and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.02%) finished flat. The tech sector was indecisive as the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.55%) edged higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.09%) was little changed and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.19%) edged lower. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.52%) posted a solid gain, meanwhile the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.11%) inched lower and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.23%) suffered a larger loss.

Rebounded Above 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE +$23.14 or +3.54% to $676.00) volume was near average today while rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($667).

COKE was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/23 high plus 10 cents in the 8/03/23 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in this FSU section on 8/03/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Powerful Breakout for COKE".

COKE has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Jun '23 quarterly earnings +54% on +9% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, continuing its strong track record. The 6 latest quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been very strong after a slight downturn in FY '18.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 379 in Jun '21 to 511 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. There are only 5.8 million shares in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility due to any buying or selling by the institutional crowd.
