Major Indices Erased Early Losses to Close Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 87 points, erasing a nearly 300 point decline seen earlier in the session, while the S&P 500 added 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%, but remains on track for a 2.6% weekly drawdown. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 34 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has come under pressure (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain with lighter volume and rebounded above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. stocks turned higher on Thursday, rebounding from a two-day losing streak inspired by a decidedly hawkish tone from Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield curve steepening. The yield on the 10-year note added four basis points (0.04%) to 2.64%, while the two-year note yield slipped four basis points (0.04%) to 2.45%.
Wednesday’s release of the Fed’s March meeting minutes revealed that officials “generally agreed” to reduce the size of its nearly $9 trillion balance sheet by $95 billion per month. They also set the expectation that upcoming interest rate hikes could come in larger 0.50% intervals as the central bank prioritizes its fight against persistent inflation. Earlier today, St. Louis Fed President Bullard stated that he would prefer to see another 300 basis points (3.00%) in rate hikes by year-end. On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims came in at 166,000, dropping to the lowest level since November 1968.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Health Care stocks outperforming. In corporate news, HP Inc. (HPQ +14.75%) rose after Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB +0.52%) disclosed a 121 million share stake valued at more than $4.2 billion. In earnings, Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ +4.61%) rose after topping earnings estimates. Packaged food company Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (LW +7.97%) rose following an upbeat profit tally that included an improving margin outlook.
