Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose With Tech Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow advanced 456 points, while the S&P 500 gained 2.3%. The Nasdaq Composite was up 2.8%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by near a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating less institutional buying conviction. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered the new 52-week highs on the NYSE while new highs outnumbered new lows 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Stocks finished higher on Wednesday, as investors digest corporate earnings results and a rebound in oil prices. Sentiment was also lifted on reports that Congress remains on track to pass additional COVID-19 legislation worth $484 billion, which would provide further assistance to small businesses and funding for hospitals and testing.
WTI crude climbed more than 20% to $13.97/barrel, partly boosted by escalating U.S.-Iranian tensions. However, oversupply concerns lingered as U.S. crude stockpiles increased by more than 10 million barrels for the fourth-consecutive week.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory with Technology shares pacing gains. In earnings, Netflix (NFLX -2.86%) fell despite reporting a record 15.8 million increase in first-quarter subscribers, as the streaming giant warned the growth may not persist as lockdowns ease. Delta Airlines (DAL -2.77%) despite posting a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss. In Consumer Staples, Kimberly-Clark (KMB +2.47%) following an 11% jump in organic sales. Elsewhere, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG +14.00%) rose after delivering an 80% spike in digital sales. In the semiconductor space, Texas Instruments (TXN +4.81%) on the heels of a top and bottom line beat. Meanwhile, Snap (SNAP +36.7%) on a surge in engagement levels, while AT&T (T -1.44%) fell after pulling its full-year guidance amid COVID-19 uncertainty.
On the data front, a release from the FHFA revealed home prices rose 0.7% in February, accelerating from January’s 0.3% advance. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up six basis points to 0.62%. |
