Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved Behind More Gains

Stocks finished higher Wednesday. The Dow added 91 points to 23,879 while the S&P 500 gained 10 points to 2,584. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 60 points to 6,957. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the prior session total. There was an increase in new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE.  The newspaper reported that Friday's session was a follow-through day and the major indices are in a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors know that a proper follow-through day requires big gains from at least one of the major indices with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new highs). New leadership was a critical missing element on Friday, however, additional confirmation this week has helped to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

The major averages extended gains as a perceived “dovish” stance from the Federal Reserve boosted investor sentiment. The minutes from the most recent FOMC meeting indicated policymakers are willing to take a “patient” approach to future rate hikes. However, market gains remained capped as investors kept a watchful eye on Capitol Hill after a “disappointing” meeting in which Senate leaders met with President Trump in an attempt to end the partial government shutdown. On the data front, mortgage applications jumped 23.5% while refinancing applications spiked 35% in the period ending Jan 4th.

Energy shares paced gains as Chevron (CVX +1.34%) rose. Technology stocks also outperformed as Apple (AAPL +1.70%) and Microsoft (MSFT +1.43%) rose. Consumer Staples underperformed as Constellation Brands (STZ -12.42%) fell after the adult beverage distributor provided weaker than expected forward guidance. In other earnings news, Lennar Corp (LEN +7.93%) rose after the home-builder advised it’s seeing increased buyer traffic as rates have eased from multi-year highs.

Treasuries were mixed with the yield on the 10-year note off one basis point at 2.72%. In commodities, WTI crude climbed 4.9% to $52.24/barrel, the eight consecutive daily advance. COMEX gold added 0.6% to $1,294.00/ounce amid a weaker dollar.
