Major Indices Post Big Gains With a Little More Leadership

The Dow climbed 1,627 points, while the S&P 500 advanced 7%. The Nasdaq Composite was up 7.3%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 10-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 5-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were near the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus zero on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered the new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a new confirmed uptrend. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a solid gain with higher volume on Day 10. Disciplined investors know that a follow-through day of big confirming gains from the major indices on higher volume coupled with an increase in the number of stocks hitting new highs signals a valid new market uptrend (M criteria).

Stocks finished higher on Monday amid optimistic COVID-19 reports around the globe. Signs of easing coronavirus cases in many pockets of the world helped lift investor sentiment. Data from Germany, Spain, and Italy over the weekend showed the pandemic slowing somewhat, while New York reported its first decline in deaths on Sunday. In Washington, the White House suggested the coming week would be America’s “toughest” in terms of dealing with the outbreak, but also highlighted signs of stabilization.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory with Technology shares surging 8.8%. Utilities also led advancers, while the Consumer Discretionary group was another outperformer, with beleaguered retailers and travel stocks some of the standouts. In corporate news, Boeing (BA +19.47%) rose after announcing plans to extend the suspension of its Washington state production operations and halt payment to roughly 30,000 employees this week.

Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up six basis points to 0.67%. In commodities, WTI crude fell 8% to $26.08/barrel, on the heels of its best week on record during which it rallied nearly 32%. News that OPEC and its allies postponed today’s virtual meeting until Thursday weighed on oil prices, leaving market participants awaiting clarity on possible production cuts.

This follows a downbeat week on Wall Street which saw the Dow drop 2.7% and the S&P 500 shed 2.1%, representing the fifth weekly loss in the last seven for each benchmark.
