TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Deterioration has the market uptrend under pressure (M criteria) and having the overall look of a more serious correction. A caution flag has been raised by the technical damage in the major indices coupled with a shrinking list of stocks hitting new highs. 


Leadership Thin as Major Averages Inched Higher

The Dow added 30 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.7%. The S&P 500 climbed 0.3%. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was fairly even as decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange while advancers slightly outnumbered decliners on the NYSE. Leadership remained thin as there were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 3 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is now under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and slumped back toward the June low with a big loss on higher volume.

U.S. equities finished higher in volatile trading Wednesday as Wall Street rebounded from its worst day since June 2020. Investors also assessed the latest round of inflation data. Yesterday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in hotter than expected, climbing 0.1% in the month of August, while the headline figure remained elevated at 8.3%, well above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 2% target. Today, the Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.1% in August, in line with estimates, while the headline figure climbed at a still elevated 8.7% year-over-year pace, moderating from the previous 9.8% annual increase. Core PPI (excluding the more volatile food and energy components) jumped 7.3% year-over-year, compared to July’s upwardly revised 7.7% annual clip.

Shorter-dated Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the two-year note adding four basis points (0.04%) to 3.79%, its highest since 2007. Longer-dated Treasury yields fell, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note dipping one basis point (0.01%) to 3.41%, while the 30-year bond yield shed three basis points (0.03%) to 3.47%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 1.6% to $88.69/barrel following a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and news of loosening COVID-19 restrictions in China. As one of the world’s largest consumers of oil, China’s recent restrictions have kept a cap on oil prices. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has announced they are considering refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve if prices slide below $80/barrel. A gauge of the U.S. dollar slipped 0.1%, adding further support to oil prices.

Energy-Linked Groups Led Retail and Tech Indexes Higher

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.50%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.26%) each posted a small gain while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.50%) edged lower. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.14%) and Networking Index ($NWX +1.13%) noted solid gains while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.39%) posted a smaller gain. Energy-linked groups posted solid gain as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.32%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.40%), meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.12%) finished slightly in the red.

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.32%) has recently been consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Consolidating Near High Well Above 50-Day Moving Average

Carlisle Cos Inc (CSL +$1.23 or +0.41% to $302.70) has been consolidating near its all-time high. Its prior low $291 defines near term support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($289).

Bullish action continued since highlighted in yellow in the 7/28/22 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/22 high plus 10 cents. CSL was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 8/22/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pulling Back From All-Time High After Volume-Driven Gains".

CSL has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating. It recently reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +185% on +57% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th very strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history included a small downturn in FY '20 that was previously noted.

There are 51.7 million shares outstanding, 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 772 in Sep '21 to 839 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
