Major Indices Fell With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 592 points, while the S&P 500 retreated 1.8%. The Nasdaq Composite was down 1%. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating less institutional selling pressure. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 23 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered the new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. 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). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it is important to see continued improvement in this area. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index paused near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities finished lower on Monday as increasing concerns surrounding a global supply glut caused the price of oil to collapse. This followed Friday’s session that capped the first back-to-back weekly advance for the S&P 500 in more than two months, and its strongest two-week performance since 1974.
WTI crude May futures expiring Tuesday plunged into unprecedented negative territory as insufficient storage capacity became more worrisome in the near-term. Further pressuring risk sentiment was a delay in a new fiscal stimulus package aimed at small business and hospitals.
All 11 S&P 500 closed in negative territory with Utilities, Real Estate, and Energy leading the decline. Industrials also underperformed, with Boeing (BA -6.75%) down following an analyst downgrade and news that the China Development Bank partially cancelled orders for the company’s 737-MAX aircrafts. In other corporate news, United Airlines (UAL -4.44%) fell after reporting a $2.1 billion pre-tax loss as the coronavirus outbreak pressured travel demand to its lowest point in decades. Elsewhere, Disney (DIS -4.10%) fell on the heels of multiple analyst downgrades. In earnings, Halliburton (HAL +0.66%) inched higher after a top and bottom line beat, and despite the oilfield services company cautioning investors that North American activity would fall sharply during this quarter.
Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down four basis points to 0.61%. On the data front, a report from the Chicago Fed revealed U.S. economic activity declined more than expected in March. |
