Leadership Lacking as Major Indices Fell Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices eac lost ground and settled near their worst levels of the day, which left the S&P 500 below its 200-day moving average (4,233). The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were zero 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 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages are in an uptrend under pressure (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 slumped below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line toward the prior low with a 3rd consecutive loss.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed down by at least 1.0%. The defensive-oriented consumer staples (-0.4%) and health care (-0.4%) sectors saw the smallest declines. Meanwhile, the energy (-1.7%) and information technology (-1.7%) sectors logged the steepest losses. Uncertainty surrounding potential developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict and ongoing interest rate volatility contributed to a "risk-off" vibe. The 10-yr note yield ultimately settled at 4.92%, which was six basis points lower.
Ongoing dysfunction in the House of Representatives followed three failed rounds of voting as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) lost the status of Speaker of the House nominee.
Weakness in regional bank stocks was another overhang for the market while Regions Financial (RF -12.38%), Comerica (CMA -8.53%), and Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL -8.38%) were among the losing standouts. Dow component American Express (AXP -5.4%) fell after reporting better than expected earnings and reaffirmed FY23 guidance.
