Nasdaq Composite Rose as Major Indices Sputtered

Relative strength from the mega cap space limited downside moves for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average while the Nasdaq Composite (+0.3%) closed with a small gain. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin 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 zero 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 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 S&P 500 Index met resistance at its 50-day moving average then slumped below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and below the prior low with 5 consecutive losses.

The energy sector (-1.6%) was the worst performer, weighed down by a loss in Chevron (CVX -3.69%), which announced a $53 billion, or $171.00 per share, all stock acquisition of Hess Corp. (HES -1.1%). A drop in oil prices ($85.50/bbl, -2.55, -2.9%) was spurred in part by global growth worries. 

An X post from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman made it known he has covered his short in bonds because - "There is too much risk in the world to remain short bonds at current long-term rates." The 10-yr note yield moved from 4.97% to as low as 4.84% following his remark and the S&P 500 hit an intraday high of 4,255.

The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK) climbed 0.4%. Despite reports of discounted iPhone 15 sales in China and supplier Foxconn facing a tax probe by Chinese authorities, Apple (AAPL +0.07%) ended the session slightly higher after trading down as much as -1.7%.
