Major Averages Rose Again But With Less Volume Conviction

The major indices extended their winning streak on Wednesday. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing a lack of institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by nearly a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 22 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 9 stocks on the prior session.  New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while the new highs and new lows totals were virtually even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for all of the 4 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has grown shorter as numerous leaders have broken down in recent weeks. The Market (M criteria) pullback earned the label of a "correction" as a result of recent pressure on the indices, especially the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, coupled with waning leadership (fewer stocks hitting new 52-week highs).  Investors are reminded to limit losses by always selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. This is precisely how the fact-based investment system prompts investors to reduce their overall market exposure during weak periods.

 

The Dow rose 162 points to 16,424. The S&P 500 gained 19 points to 1,862. The NASDAQ rallied 52 points to 4,086. The major averages advanced for a third straight session amid optimism on the economy and corporate profits. Before the open, reports showed manufacturing activity improved in March. The market added to its gains following commentary from the Fed. In a speech today, Janet Yellen indicated the central bank is likely to remain accommodative on interest rates for the foreseeable future. The Beige Book survey showed economic activity improved in most regions as the U.S. recovers from tough winter weather.
On the earnings front, Yahoo! (YHOO +6.26%) rallied as profits topped consensus estimates. Bank of America (BAC -1.59%) fell after posting a quarterly loss. Shares of Google (GOOGL +2.77%) ahead of its earnings release after the closing bell.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Materials and industrials were the best performing groups as Dow Chemical (DOW +1.96%) and General Electric (GE +1.16%) rose. Railroad operator CSX (CSX -1.77%) was notable decliner, after providing a cautious earnings outlook.
Treasuries were mixed on the session. The 10-year note was down fractionally to yield 2.63%.
