Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rebound From Damaging Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow advanced 1,293 points, its largest point gain in history. The S&P 500 rallied 4.6%, its best day since December 2018, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 4.5%. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were only 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals easily outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) have come under heavier pressure and earned the label of a "market correction". Disciplined investors know to watch for technical sell signals on a case-by-case basis and stand ready to reduce exposure especially if the market suffers more damaging losses. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with a big gain breaking a streak of 7 consecutive damaging volume-driven losses. The Blue Chip index is -9.7% off its all-time high hit on 2/12/20.

Stocks finished firmly higher in volatile trading Monday, rebounding from the worst week since the Financial Crisis. Risk sentiment was boosted by expectations that global central banks would intervene to support their economies and help offset any negative impact from the coronavirus.

All S&P 500 sectors closed in firmly positive territory, with Utilities and Technology shares pacing gains. Apple climbed back from a two-year low, surging 9.3% on the heels of an analyst upgrade. Twitter (TWTR +7.89%) rose on reports that Elliott Management founder Paul Singer was looking to replace CEO Jack Dorsey. In M&A news, biotech company Forty Seven (FTSV +61.91%) rose after agreeing to be acquired by Gilead Sciences (GILD +8.71%) in a $4.9 billion deal.

On the data front, a reading from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed U.S. manufacturing activity expanded for a second-straight month in February following a five-month streak of contraction to end 2019. Meanwhile, a gauge of global manufacturing contracted the most since 2009 as the coronavirus disrupted trade and supply chains. Treasuries pared an early session gain to finish modestly higher. The yield on the 10-year note was down one basis point to 1.15% after sliding to a new record low of 1.03% overnight. In commodities, WTI crude gained 4.5% to $46.75/barrel after tumbling more than 16% last week. COMEX gold added 1.3% to $1,586.30/ounce.
