Major Averages Posted Gains on Lighter Volume

The Nasdaq Composite Index posted its biggest weekly loss since October 2012 as it fell -2.8%. The S&P 500 Index lost -0.5% but the Dow rose +0.1% for its second straight week of gains. Behind Friday's modest gains the volume totals were reported lighter on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE while advancers had only a narrow lead over decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 13 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 5 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, however new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. Gains were posted by 6 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks PageWeakness in the major indices coupled with waning of leadership in the Market (M criteria) earned the label of a "correction" again.  Investors are reminded to reduce market exposure and avoid new buying efforts until the market produces a new confirmed uptrend.

 

The major averages pared earlier gains on Friday but managed to snap a two-day slump. The Dow gained 58 points to 16,323. The S&P 500 increased 8 points to close at 1,857. The Nasdaq Composite Index was flat as it added less than 5 points to 4,155.
Investors were focused on a batch of economic data. Personal spending rose the most in three months while incomes increased for a second month. On the downside, the University of Michigan consumer confidence index slipped in March from the previous month.
Eight of the 10 S&P 500 sectors advanced. Energy and industrials were the best performing groups as Schlumberger (SLB +1.1%) and 3M (MMM +0.9%) edged higher. However, losses in health care limited the day's gains amid a retreat in biotechnology stocks including Gilead Sciences (GILD -4%) and Biogen (BIIB -5.4%).
Treasury prices fell for the first time in three sessions. The 10-year note lost 10/32 to yield 2.72%. The 30-year bond declined 12/32 to yield 3.55%.

Semicondutor, Retail, Financial, and Commodity Linked Groups Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.51%) was a positive influence on the major averages and financial shares helped as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.20%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.52%) edged higher.  The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.81%) dragged the tech sector down with a big loss, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX +0.00%) finished flat and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.73%) posted a gain. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.16%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.58%) rose and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.68%) also tallied a gain.
