Major Averages Lost Ground With Higher Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages closed with losses on Thursday. The Russell 2000 underperformed relative to the other major indices, dropping -2.2%, which brought the index into negative territory for the year (-1.5%). The volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing an increase in institutional selling pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 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 37 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages are in an uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be made only in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back with higher volume today after 4 consecutive gains, meeting resistance near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in the red. The materials (-1.5%), utilities (-1.5%), and real estate (-1.3%) saw the biggest declines. The information technology (+0.1%) and energy (+0.1%) sectors closed with small gains. Apple (AAPL +0.51%), Amazon.com (AMZN +0.38%), and NVIDIA (NVDA +0.30%) managed to hold onto gains at the close.
Another wave of selling hit the Treasury market coinciding with the completion of a $20 billion 30-yr bond auction, which met dismal demand. The 2-yr note yield rose six basis points to 5.06%, and the 10-yr note yield climbed 12 basis points to 4.71%.
Geopolitical uncertainty hangs over the market. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 0.7% to 106.58. Total CPI was unchanged at 3.7% year-over-year while core CPI, which excludes food and energy, dropped to 4.1% year-over-year from 4.3% in August. Initial jobless claims of 209,000 remained consistent with a tight labor market. Both reports failed to quell concerns about future rate hikes.
