TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Since the Monday, January 31st follow-through day in the market (M criteria) confirmed a new uptrend, new buying efforts may be made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.


Indecisive Major Indices Ended Mixed Again

The S&P fell 0.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.6% on the heels of their best week of 2022 (+1.6% and +2.4%, respectively). The Dow ended just above the flat line following last week’s 1.1% advance. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the NYSE and by about 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 15 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 19 on the prior session. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchangeA follow-through day on Monday, January 31st confirmed a new uptrend for the market averages (M criteria).

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index met resistance near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and fell back near its 200 DMA line.

U.S. stocks finished mostly lower in choppy trading Monday. The major averages fluctuated between gains and losses as investors contended with the prospect of reduced monetary stimulus from global central banks. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Communication Services leading the decline amid weakness in mega-cap internet names and social media companies. Energy bucked the downtrend despite West Texas Intermediate crude slipping 1% to $91.35/barrel, still near a seven-year peak. In earnings, Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN +12.23%) following upbeat results, helped by price increases for its meat products. In merger and acquisition news, Spirit Airlines Inc. (SAVE +17.17%) rose after announcing plans to merge with Frontier Group Holdings  (ULCC +3.47%) in a deal worth $6.6 billion. Elsewhere, Peloton Interactive Inc. (PTON +20.93%) rose on reports the fitness equipment maker was mulling takeover options.

Meanwhile, Treasuries stabilized, though market participants braced for imminent Federal Reserve rate hikes. On Friday, a stronger-than-expected monthly jobs report reignited concerns surrounding a faster pace of monetary policy tightening, while an update this Thursday is anticipated to reflect still-elevated consumer price inflation. The yield on the 10-year note increased one basis point (0.01%) to 1.92%, its highest level since December 2019. Overseas, Germany’s 10-year bund yield rose for a 10th straight session—its longest such streak since 2000—as investors assessed perceived hawkish remarks from a European Central Bank (ECB) official.

Y - Still hovering above its 50 DMA line ($36) and perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high.

Disciplined investors may note a follow-through day in the market (M criteria) confirmed a new uptrend. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Churned above average volume and ended lower for a 2nd consecutive session, retreating after it hit a new all-time high. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/04/22 high plus 10 cents in the 2/03/22 mid-day report following a gap up, rebounding above its 50 DMA line ($37.76).
