TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market (M criteria) is still in a correction. Disciplined investors know to protect cash by avoiding any new buys until a new uptrend is confirmed with a proper follow-through day.


Major Averages Sputter and Continue to Lack Leadership

The Dow lost 28 points, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.1%. The S&P 500 slid 0.3%. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with Utilities leading laggards. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There was 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals again solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is still in a correction (M criteria). Caution and patience remain paramount. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of big gains to confirm a new uptrend.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended lower on Day 8 of the rally attempt. A solid follow-through day of gains is needed as confirmation of a new market uptrend. Only the Dow Jones Industrial Average has avoided undercutting its Day 1 low.

U.S. equities finished lower after volatile afternoon trading Wednesday as investors shift their focus to tomorrow’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Market participants will parse through the report for any clues as to the future course of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed). 

On the data front, market participants assessed September’s Producer Price Index (PPI) data. The PPI climbed more-than-expected to 0.4% month-over-month. Meanwhile, core PPI (which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices), remained unchanged from August’s revised 0.3% monthly gain. The headline PPI figure came in slightly higher than expected at 8.5%, while the headline core PPI print remain unchanged from August’s 7.2% year-over-year rise. This afternoon, the Fed released their meeting minutes from September. The key takeaway was Fed officials expect interest rates to remain elevated for some time. The minutes confirmed they will continue to hike rates until they see clear signs of slowing inflation.

Treasuries strengthened in the afternoon, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down four basis points (0.04%) to 3.94%, while the 30-year bond shed three basis points (0.03%) to 3.88% The yield on the two-year note dipped two basis points (0.02%) to 4.29%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 2.6% to $87.02/barrel amid a darkening economic outlook. However, increasingly tight supply conditions have kept a floor under prices.
