The Nasdaq Composite was up 10 points to 7,034. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Wednesday.

The major averages extended gains as strong earnings reports from several large-cap banks boosted investor sentiment. On the data front, a report showed mortgage applications spiked 13.5% in the most recent week as interest rates eased. An additional update showed home builder sentiment rebounded in January after posting losses in the prior two months. A separate release revealed import prices dipped 1.0% in December, which led to the largest year-over-year decline since 2016 of 0.6%.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory as Financials paced gains. Shares of Bank of America (BAC +7.16%) rose after besting profit projections. Goldman Sachs (GS +9.54%) rose, its best day in ten-years as the investment bank beat forecasts on the top and bottom line. In Industrials, United Continental (UAL +6.35%) rose after topping revenue projections. However, not all corporate updates were positive as shares of Ford (F -6.33%) fell after the automaker pre-announced earnings that fell short of analyst expectations. Elsewhere, Nordstrom (JWN -4.76%) fell after the retailer revealed disappointing holiday sales figures.

Treasuries weakened as the yield of the 10-year note advanced one basis point to 2.72%. In commodities, WTI crude declined 0.2% to $52.02/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.4% to $1,294.00/ounce.

Y - Managed a "positive reversal" after early weakness today. Stubbornly holding its ground perched within close striking distance of its prior high. Due to report earnings news after market close on Thursday, January 17, 2019. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 10/01/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation in recent months.
