Major Averages Sputtered With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 finished just below the flat line, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.4%, with both indexes snapping a four-day rally which had capped their best weekly performance since November 2020 on Friday. The Dow fell 201 points on the heels of its first weekly advance (+5.5%) in six weeks. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, as Friday's totals were inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 25 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but 52-week lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the Nasdaq exchange. The recently noted follow-through day confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria).
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average paused after a streak of 5 straight gains rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities finished lower on Monday, reversing earlier gains following perceived hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. The Fed chief said policymakers could raise benchmark rates by a more-aggressive 0.50% at future meetings to combat high inflation, if appropriate.
Treasuries resumed their recent sell-off, with the yield curve flattening. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note jumped 14 basis points (0.14%) to 2.30%, while the more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield spiked 18 basis points (0.18%) to 2.12%, with each maturity yield trading near their highest levels since May 2019. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude rose 7.4% to $112.47/barrel after the European Union said it would deliberate an oil embargo on Russia as the war in Ukraine extends into a fourth week.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. The Energy group notably outperformed, jumping 3.8%. In corporate news, Boeing Co. (BA -3.59%) following reports one of its 737 passenger planes operated by China Eastern Airlines crashed in southern China. Elsewhere, Alleghany Corp. (Y +24.80%) rose after agreeing to be acquired by Berkshire Hathaway for $11.6 billion in cash. Nielsen Holdings Plc. (NLSN -6.87%) fell after rejecting a $9.1 billion takeover bid from a consortium of private equity firms.
