Nasdaq Composite Index Outpaced Peers on Mega-Cap Strength
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite posted a +0.67% gain while the S&P 500 Index finished flat, meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Russell 2000 registered losses of -0.2% and -1.6%, respectively. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the total of 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking 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 S&P 500 Index has been recently undercutting its August low and its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
A better-than-expected ISM Manufacturing Index was reported for September. Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors saw a decline. The rate-sensitive utilities sector was noticeably weak, plunging -4.7%. The energy sector (-2.1%) was another laggard, sliding with oil prices ($89.71/bbl, -1.10, -1.2%). Following a big move in September, the 10-yr note yield jumped another 11 basis points to 4.68%. The 2-yr note yield settled seven basis points higher at 5.11%.
The communication services (+1.5%), information technology (+1.3%), and consumer discretionary (+0.3%) sectors, were in positive territory at the close. Mega cap stocks seemed to be looked at as a safe-haven NVIDIA (NVDA +2.95%), Apple (AAPL +1.48%), and Microsoft (MSFT +1.92%), were relative strength leaders and standouts.
