Major Averages Fell With Lighter Volume Totals

Stocks retreated on Monday’s session. The Dow fell 180 points to 17730. The S&P 500 lost 21 points to 2078, and the NASDAQ Composite fell 52 points to 5095. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by nearly a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 47 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 81 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. There was only 1 gainer from the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a disproportionately negative bias versus the broader market.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched only -3.38% off its all-time high.

The major indices have established a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Coupled with a reassuring expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) big gains helped the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index unanimously rally above their respective 200-day moving average lines. The market environment is technically in healthier shape. New buying efforts may be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria, and some new candidates have met the strict guidelines of the fact-based investment system in the recent recovery.

The major averages finished firmly in negative territory as investors weighed the prospects for the Fed to begin raising interest rates by yearend. In a speech today, Boston regional president Eric Rosengren indicated the central bank could consider tightening as soon as next month due to an improved labor market and consumer spending. Market weakness was also attributed to a report that showed China’s imports dropped 18.8% in October.

Consumer Discretionary and financials were the worst-performing sectors on the session. Priceline (PCLN -9.57%) fell after the online travel agent reduced its fourth-quarter forecast. Affiliated Managers (AMG +5.87%) as sales trailed analyst estimates.

In M&A news, Plum Creek Timber (PCL +17.30%) rose after it agreed to be acquired by rival Weyerhaeuser (WX -2.96%) or $8.4 billion. Norfolk Southern (NSC +10.96%) amid reports Canadian Pacific (CP +5.86%) was exploring a possible takeover of the railroad operator.

Treasuries were lower amid the increased expectations of a Fed rate hike in December. Benchmark 10-year notes declined 7/32 to yield 2.35% and the 30-year bond lost 18/32 to 3.12%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude declined 0.7% to $44.00/barrel. COMEX gold rose 0.3% to $1090.80/ounce.

Biotech and Gold & Silver Indexes Posted Gains

The Retail Index ($RLX -2.13%) created a drag and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.78%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.97%) both had a negative influence on the major averages on Monday. The Networking Index ($NWX -2.28%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.96%) led the tech sector higher lower while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.12%) posted a gain. The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.24%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.78%) ended with small losses. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.26%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED:  The  Bank Index ($BKX -0.97%) recently rebounded above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line toward prior highs.

Perched at High Following Breakout

Pinnacle Financial Prtnr (PNFP -$0.47 or -0.83% to $56.33) pulled back today with volume closer to average. It finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 11/06/15 mid-day report (read here). While hitting a new 52-week high the strong gain and finish above the pivot point backed by +98% above average volume clinched a technical buy signal.

PNFP found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation. Reported earnings +27% on +35% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) helping it better match the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 269 in Dec '14 to 313 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 33.1 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
