Leadership Thin and Breadth Negative as Indices' Losses Grow

The major indices finished between -1.1% and -1.6% lower on Tuesday after erasing Monday's modest rebound right at the open. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by more tha a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 3 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 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a correction (M criteria).  New buying efforts should be avoided until a new rally is confirmed by a solid follow-through day.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average violated its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Tuesday's negative bias was due in part to ongoing worries about higher interest rates. The 10-yr note yield climbed another two basis points to 4.56%, and the 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 5.12%. Concerns were stoked by JPMorgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon, who told the Times of India that he is not sure the world is prepared for 7%. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari said, according to Bloomberg, that he thinks another rate hike before year end would likely be needed if the economy is stronger than expected.

The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Russell 2000 are now down -5.2%, -6.9%, and -7.2%, respectively, this month. September, historically, has been the worst month of the year for the S&P 500.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in the red. The energy sector (-0.5%) saw the smallest decline as oil prices climbed ($90.49/bbl, +0.87, +1.0%). The consumer discretionary sector (-2.0%) was another laggard of note along with the information technology (-1.8%) and real estate (-1.8%) sectors. The rate-sensitive utilities sector (-3.1%) actually saw the biggest decline. 

Amazon.com (AMZN -4.03%) slumped badly following news that the FTC and 17 state attorneys general are suing the company for illegally maintaining monopoly power.
