Major Indices Pulled Back from Record Highs

The Nasdaq Composite Index was little changed while the S&P 500 Index fell -0.29% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -0.86%. The Russell 2000 fell -1.8%. Volume totals reported were mixed, slightly higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 5-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 85 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 179 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from its all-time high.

The New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations for October was released this morning, but received a muted response. It showed that year-ahead inflation expectations dipped to 2.9% from 3.0% while the three-year outlook decreased to 2.5% from 2.7%, and the five-year expectations dipped to 2.8% from 2.9%. The NFIB Small Business Optimism survey rose to 93.7 in October from 91.5 in September. Wednesday's calendar features the October Consumer Price Index and core-Consumer Price Index at 8:30 ET.

Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered losses. The consumer discretionary sector (-1.1%) was among the worst performers. The 10-yr yield settled 12 basis points higher at 4.43% and the 2-yr yield settled nine basis points higher at 4.34%.

Retail Index Rose While Most Groups Fell

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.08%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.52%) both pulled back, meanwhile the Retail Index ($RLX +0.40%) ended slightly higher on Tuesday.  The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.93%), Biotech Index ($BTK -1.46%), and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.97%) each lost ground. Commodity-linked groups also had a negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.51%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.44%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.66%) each lost ground.

Extended From Any Sound Base After Impressive Rally

U.S. Lime & Minerals (USLM -$4.52 or -3.18% to $137.78) is extended from any sound base and hovering at its all-time high following a noted spurt of volume-driven gains. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($100) defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Fundamentals remain strong. USLM reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +59% on +19% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. USLM has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Its shares split 5:1 effective on 7/15/24 and still the thinly-traded firm has only 28.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

USLM was highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/07/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hovering Above Prior Highs Near All-Time High"The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 192 in Mar '23 to 262 in Sep '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an Accumulation/Distribution rating of A+ and a Timeliness rating of A.
