There were 9 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 7 on the prior session.

Recent deterioration in the charts of the major averages (M criteria) and less leadership (fewer stocks hitting new highs) are signs of poor market conditions and uncertainty ahead of the election. Disciplined investors following the fact-based investment system will have a bias toward reducing exposure until recognized strength returns. The Featured Stocks Pagelists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages declined on the session Friday following a weaker-than-expected jobs report. Non-farm payrolls grew 161,000 in October versus a projected 173,000 increase. The labor force participation rate was slightly lower from the previous month at 62.8%. Finally, the unemployment rate came in at 4.9%, in-line with estimates. According to Bloomberg data, futures are currently pricing a 74% probability of a rate hike by December versus 80% odds before the jobs figure.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished positive on the session. Consumer shares declined as Monster Beverage (MNST -3.55%) fell after the company missed estimates on the top and bottom line. Kraft Heinz (KHC -2.55%) fell as quarterly sales fell 1.5% amid a stronger dollar and pricing pressure in Europe. Shares of Fluor (FLR -13.50%) fell after being the subject of negative analyst commentary. Elsewhere in earnings, Starbucks (SBUX +1.95%) rose as the coffee chain announced a 25% quarterly dividend increase. Shares of CBS (CBS +2.72%) were higher after reporting strong advertising growth in the quarter.

Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 11/32 to yield 1.77%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.3% to $44.07/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.2% to $1305.20/ounce.

Y - Found support above its 50 DMA line during its quiet consolidation following 2 big volume-driven gains. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/20/16 high plus 10 cents in the 10/27/16 mid-day report. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a technical buy signal following a base-on-base pattern. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply.
