Major Indices Rallied With Positive Breadth and More Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 558 points, while the S&P 500 gained 3.1% to its best level in a month. The Nasdaq Composite was up 4%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, slightly lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and yet much higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 21 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 10 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals on 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. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a solid gain, rebounding toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The follow-through day of big confirming gains on Monday, April 6th from the major indices on higher volume, coupled with an increase in the number of stocks hitting new highs, signaled a valid new market uptrend (M criteria).
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday as investors weighed an improving virus outlook against mixed earnings reports. More countries are considering lifting restrictions and reopening business activity sooner than previously anticipated amid expectations that the COVID-19 outbreak may have peaked.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory with Tech and Consumer Discretionary stocks outperforming. Apple (AAPL +5.05%) rose after iPhone shipments to China increased 19% year-over-year in March. Amazon (AMZN +5.28%) rallied to an all-time high. Financials lagged on a relative basis amid disappointing quarterly results from some of Wall Street’s biggest banks. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -2.74%) fell after reporting its lowest profit in six years as a significant buildup in potential loan default reserves pressured its bottom line. In other earnings, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +4.48%) rose after exceeding profit and revenue estimates and raising its dividend. Roku (ROKU +10.33%) rose after its quarterly results indicated a spike in streaming service demand.
Investors are bracing for heightened uncertainty surrounding corporate profit tallies. First-quarter S&P 500 earnings are now projected to decline more than 11%, according to Bloomberg.
Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on 10-year note down two basis points to 0.74%. In commodities, WTI crude extended Monday’s drop after the International Monetary Fund projected global GDP to shrink by 3% this year, suggesting a dismal outlook for energy demand. Meanwhile, COMEX gold closed at its best level since October 2012. |
