Leadership Evaporates as Major Averages Fall With Higher Volume

Stocks finished lower on Thursday. The Dow was down 45 points to 18098. The S&P 500 lost 6 points to 2132 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 25 points to 5213. Behind the losses the reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of increasing institutional selling pressure. Decliners led advancers 2-1 on the NYSE and 11-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 15 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended near the session high after undercutting the recent low intra-day.

Recent deterioration in the charts of the major averages (M criteria) and evaporating leadership (fewer stocks hitting new highs) are signs that the uptrend is under pressure. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance near their respective 50 DMA lines and abruptly retreated near prior lows.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages declined on the session as Financials slid and investors digested weaker-than-expected economic releases. On the domestic front, import prices ticked up 0.1% in September, slightly below analyst expectations. In a separate release, initial jobless claims came in at 246,000, below the projected 253,000. Overseas, a report showed that China’s September exports were down 10% from a year earlier, as global demand for goods remained sluggish.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. In the consumer space, ULTA Salon (ULTA +11.37%) rallied after the cosmetics retailer raised its forward EPS guidance. MecradoLibre (MELI -8.05%) fell with news EBay (EBAY +0.03%) will sell 5.5 million shares of its stake in the company. In Tech, shares declined with GoPro (GPRO -3.22%) fell amid reports the company is currently not shipping products to Amazon.com (AMZN -0.58%). On the earnings front, Delta Air Lines (DAL +1.88%) rose as the airline’s quarterly profit was slightly ahead of forecasts. Shares of Progressive (PGR +2.56%) rose after the company’s revenue topped Wall Street estimates.

Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 7/32 to yield 1.74%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.5% to $50.43/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.4%.
