Major Averages Fell With Heavier Volume Indicative of Distribution
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow was up 0.4%, the S&P lost 0.1%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.1%. For the week, the Dow was up 0.4%, the S&P lost 0.1%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.1%. Stocks declined on Friday. The Dow was down 9 points to 19842. The S&P 500 lost 3 points to 2258 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 19 points to 5437. Volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by 6-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 48 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 49 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has been encountering distributional pressure as indicated by recent losses on higher volume while retreating from record high territory.
The major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages finished lower as investors digested economic releases and geopolitical concerns. Early Friday morning, reports surfaced that China seized an unmanned U.S. vessel in international waters. Treasury yields fell and gold futures spiked as investors sought perceived safe haven assets. Equity volatility was also heightened in Friday’s session, with the quadruple-witching expiration of index futures and options. On the data front, housing starts tumbled 18.7% in November, firmly below analyst expectations. In a separate release, building permits fell 4.7% last month.
Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Technology stocks declined with Adobe Systems (ADBE -1.47%) falling. Shares of Oracle (ORCL -4.431) sank amid a weaker-than-expected rate of growth in the cloud unit. In Financials, MetLife (MET -5.08%) fell as the life insurer lowered its forward revenue guidance. Gilead Sciences (GILD -1.92%) was lower with news the company was ordered to pay Merck (MRK +0.11%) $2.5 billion in damages for patent infringement. In Industrials, General Electric (GE +1.57%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary.
Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 1/32 to yield 2.59%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 2% to $51.90/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.7% to $1135.30/ounce. |
