Major Indices Rallied Again for New Record Highs

The Dow rose 174 points. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.1%, with both benchmark indexes closing at a fresh record highs. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster institutional buying demand. There were 57 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 35 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) remain in a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors buy individual stocks on a case-by-case basis only if all key criteria are met. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with the Energy group the lone laggard.

The Consumer Discretionary group also outperformed with Amazon (AMZN +2.63%) rallying up above the $2,100 mark for the first time. In earnings, Allergan (AGN +1.32%) up after the drug maker beat Wall Street estimates on the top and bottom line. Edgewell Personal Care (EPC +27.53%) rose after the maker of Schick razors nearly doubled consensus profit estimates. In M&A news, Taubman Centers (TCO +53.2) rose on news that Simon Property Group (SPG +1.45%) will acquire the company in an all-cash deal valued at $3.6 billion.

There were no notable economic updates today. Treasuries advanced with the yield on the 10-year note and two-year note both off two basis point to 1.56% and 1.38%, respectively. In commodities, WTI crude fell 1.4% to $49.62/barrel after capping a fifth consecutive weekly decline on Friday. COMEX gold gained 0.4% to $1,574.70/ounce.

Retail and Tech Groups Rose; Commodity-Linked Groups Fell

50-Day Moving Average Line Violation Hurts Outlook

Stoneco Ltd Cl A (STNE -$0.73 or -1.79% to $40.05) after quietly touching a new all-time high last week it has pulled back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($40.77) with a streak of 5 consecutive losses and its color code is changed to green. A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. More damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.

STNE was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/02/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It faces little remaining resistance due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 175 in Mar '19 to 236 in Dec '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days.
