Major Averages Slumped Yet Again Erasing Early Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 7 points, wiping out an earlier advance of more than 600 points. The S&P 500 slipped 0.5%, erasing a morning rally of nearly 2%. The broad benchmark is now 9.8% below its January 3 record and poised for its worst month since March 2020 (-9.2% month-to-date). The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.4%, heading toward a fifth consecutive weekly decline, which would mark its longest losing streak since 2012. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 12 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled again and easily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have seen damaging losses noted that signaled a more serious market correction. Greater caution is suggested until noted strength returns. PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index suffered its 7th loss in the span of 8 sessions. It halted its slide after undercutting its September low and decisively violating its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. At Monday's low it was -12.4 off its January 4 record high. Friday marks Day 5 of the rally attempt - an important time for all disciplined investors now watching for a follow-through day to confirm a new uptrend.
U.S. stocks finished lower on Thursday, with the major averages once again giving up early session gains. Wall Street remained jittery about the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) pivot away from highly accommodative, pandemic-era monetary stimulus. Yesterday, officials set the stage for an interest rate hike in March, while Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks were interpreted as more hawkish than expected.
In earnings, Tesla Inc. (TSLA -11.55%) fell after warning of ongoing supply chain disruptions, while Intel Corp. (INTC -7.04%) fell following weaker-than-anticipated guidance. In other corporate news, Netflix, Inc. (NFLX +7.51%) rose on reports billionaire investor William Ackman’s hedge fund purchased more than $1 billion worth of shares.
On the data front, an advance reading of fourth-quarter U.S. GDP showed the economy expanded at a 6.9% annualized pace, capping the strongest year-over-year growth rate since 1984. Separately, weekly initial jobless claims eased to 260,000. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the 10-year note retreating six basis points (0.06%) to 1.81%, while the yield on the two-year note rose three basis points (0.03%) to 1.19%, a 23-month peak. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar jumped the most since March 2020, rallying 0.8% to its highest level since mid-2020.
