TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market averages are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a solid follow-through day signals a new confirmed rally. 



Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals

The major indices closed near their best levels of the day with gains ranging from +0.7% to +1.6% on Monday's session. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 8 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a solid follow-through day signals a new confirmed rally.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is quietly sputtering near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line after damaging losses on higher volume.

All 11 sectors registered gains as communication services (+2.1%) and financials (+1.7%) led the pack while the energy sector (+0.3%) saw the slimmest gain. Semiconductor stocks were a notable pocket of weakness, sliding alongside ON Semiconductor (ON -21.77%), which reported better-than-expected Q3 results, but issued disappointing Q4 guidance. Apple (AAPL +1.23%) logged a gain ahead of its earnings report due on Thursday. McDonald's (MCD +1.72%) reported impressive quarterly results. Stellantis (STLA -0.22%) and General Motors (GM +0.51%) reached tentative deals with the UAW. Healthpeak (PEAK -2.68%) and Physicians Realty Trust (DOC -0.54%) announced an all-stock merger of equals valued at approximately $21 billion.

The U.S. Treasury quarterly refunding statement showed plans to borrow $776 billion in Q4, which is $76 billion below the estimate from three months ago. The 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 5.05% and the 10-yr note yield climbed three basis points to 4.88%. 

This week includes the Bank of Japan policy decision overnight that might feature a tweak to the yield curve control policy, the ISM Manufacturing PMI on Tuesday, the FOMC decision on Wednesday, the Bank of England policy decision on Thursday, and the October Employment Situation Report and ISM Services PMI on Friday.
