TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain with higher volume and with an expansion in new highs signaled a new market uptrend (M criteria) confirmed by a follow-through day.  New buying efforts should be made only in stock meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.


Major Indices Rose With Nasdaq Gain of +1.6% a Follow Through

The major indices closed Friday's session near their highs, which had the S&P 500 (+1.2%). The Nasdaq Composite, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.6%, 1.0%, and 0.9%, respectively. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 22 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 8 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain with higher volume and with an expansion in new highs signaled a new market uptrend (M criteria) confirmed by a follow-through day.  New buying efforts should be made only in stock meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rose +1.6% with higher volume on Day 8 of the rally. It remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Stocks initially moved lower after a sharp move higher in Treasury yields. A strong nonfarm payrolls number for September was accompanied by upward revisions to July and August data that summed to 119,000 more jobs than previously thought. Treasury yields quickly pulled back. The 2-yr note yield settled at 5.06% and the 10-yr note yield rose to 4.78%. 

Mega cap stocks led the recovery, and market breadth saw advancers move comfortably ahead of decliners as the rebound gained steam. Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed the session with gains. The heavily-weighted information technology sector (+1.9%) led the pack while the consumer staples sector (-0.5%) was alone in the red.
