Breadth Negative as Major Indices Were Mixed

The market had a mixed showing on Wednesday. Volume totals reported were mixed, slightly lower than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-5 margin on the NYSE and almost a 2-1 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, matching the total of 85 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still 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 S&P 500 Index posted a small gain, consolidating near its all-time high.

The October Consumer Price Index.was released with Total CPI up +2.6% year-over-year, versus +2.4% in September. Core CPI was up +3.3% year-over-year, unchanged from September, stoking worries about inflation persisting above the Fed's 2.0% target.

The 10-yr yield settled two basis points higher at 4.45%. The 2-yr yield settled four basis points lower at 4.28%. Rate cut expectations increased slightly in response to the CPI print. The fed funds futures market now sees a 82.3% probability of a 25 basis points rate cut at the December FOMC meeting, up form 58.7% yesterday, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

Semiconductor stocks were a pocket of weakness. This S&P 500 information technology sector fell -0.3% despite gains in Microsoft (MSFT +0.51%) and Apple (AAPL +0.40%).

Retail and Integrated Oil Indexes Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX +1.99%) posted an influential gain while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.05%) was unchanged and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.04%) fell on Wednesday.  The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.00%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.89%) to the downside, meanwhile the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.09%) was unchanged. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.47%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.57%) both lost ground while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.42%) rose.

Pulling Back After Considerable Rally

Celestica (CLS -$2.01 or -2.39% to $82.05) pulled back for a 3rd consecutive loss backed by average volume after a "negative reversal" at its all-time high. It is extended from any sound base after a noted spurt of volume-driven gains. Prior highs in the $63 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($59.12). 

CLS was highlighted in yellow in the 10/11/24 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 7/16/24 high plus 10 cents. It was shown in greater detail in this FSU section that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Celistica Hits New All-Time High With 8th Straight Gain". It hails from the high ranked Elec-Contract Mfg group which is now ranked 50th on the 197 Industry Groups List (L criteria). CLS recently reported earnings +60% on +22% sales revenues for the Sep '24 quarter versus the year ago period, and 9 of the last 10 quarterly comparisons were at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since bottoming in FY '19. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are only 116.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 322 in Jun '23 to 644 in Sep '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
