Breadth Negative as Major Indices Fell With Less Leadership

The major indices lost ground on Wednesday. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 29 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index pulled back for a 5th consecutive loss, testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. 

The weakest sectors were the consumer discretionary (-1.8%), information technology (-1.7%), and communication services (-1.4%) sectors. The communication services sector had the benefit of a positive response to AT&T (T +4.6%) following its earnings report. McDonald's (MCD -5.2%) slumped with reports of an E. coli outbreak. Enphase Energy (ENPH -14.9%) and Seagate Technology (STX -8.1%) both faced selling pressure after their earnings reports.

The only two sectors were real estate (+1.0%) and utilities (+1.0%). The action was typical of defensive-oriented trading. There was a +6.7% gain in the CBOE Volatility Index to 19.41.

Losses for the other six sectors ranged from 0.1% to 0.5%. The industrials sector (-0.3%) was impacted by the loss in Boeing (BA -1.8%) after its earnings report and as the new CEO explained that it will take time to return the company to that of its former legacy.
