TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses last week signaled a market correction (M criteria).  Limiting losses and reducing market exposure is prudent until a new confirmed rally is noted. 


Major Indices Fall Decisively as Market Correction Worsens

The Nasdaq Composite slumped nearly 4% for its worst day since September 2020. The tech-heavy index fell back into bear market territory (defined as a 20% drawdown from a recent peak). The Dow dropped 809 points, while the S&P 500 lost 2.8%. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There was 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus zero on the prior session.  New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchangeThe damage to the major indices last week signaled a market correction (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system know to use great caution and always be prepared to reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index abruptly slumped to a new 2022 low.

U.S. stocks sold off on Tuesday as a rout in growth-related shares deepened ahead of profit tallies from key mega-cap companies. Investors remained cautious as looming central bank rate hikes and renewed concerns around COVID-19 lockdowns in China lingered as market overhangs. 

Perceived safe haven assets caught a bid. A gauge of the U.S. dollar climbed 0.6% to a fresh two-year high, while the yield on the 10-year note slid eight basis points (0.08%) to 2.74%. Meanwhile, the two-year note yield shed 12 basis points (0.12%) to 2.50% following robust demand for a $48 billion auction of the maturity. On the data front, the Conference Board’s measure of consumer confidence unexpectedly eased in April. Separately, new home sales slumped a larger-than-anticipated 8.6% in March, while two gauges of home prices saw record monthly upticks.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. Consumer Discretionary lagged, pressured by a slump in Tesla Inc. (TSLA -12.18%) amid concerns that CEO Elon Musk would sell shares to fund his takeover of Twitter Inc. (TWTR -3.91%)  The Energy group provided a bright spot, with Valero Energy Corp. (VLO +4.22%) up after reporting its best margins since 2015. In other earnings, United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS -3.48%) fell as fading pandemic demand offset its upbeat profit tally. General Electric Co. (GE -10.34%) fell after flagging inflation and supply chain headwinds.

Retail, Financial, and Tech Indexes Led Decliners

The Retail Index ($RLX -3.15%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.37%), and Bank Index ($BKX -2.58%) each lost ground and weighed on the major averages. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.38%), Biotech Index ($BTK -4.34%), and Networking Index ($NWX -3.36%) suffered unanimous losses. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.66%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.56%) to the downside while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.19%) eked out a small gain.

Y - Pulled back today for a 5th consecutive loss with higher volume since a "negative reversal" at its 52-week and all-time highs.

Subsequent gains backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Reported Dec '21 earnings +31% on +17% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been very strong in recent years.
