The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite sank 4.2% on the day and 3.9% for the week, capping its worst monthly performance since October 2008 (-13.3%). The Dow tumbled 939 points, extending its weekly loss to 2.5% and its April drawdown to 4.9%. The S&P 500 retreated 3.6%, posting its fourth consecutive weekly decline (-3.3%) and suffering its worst monthly drop since March 2020 (-8.8%). Volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchangeThe major indices are in a noted market correction (M criteria) and the technical damage continued to worsen this week. 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 dove to a new 2022 low.

US. stocks ended sharply lower on Friday as Amazon.com (AMZN -14.05%) tumbled and inspired a risk-off mood on Wall Street. The ecommerce giant notched its worst day since 2006 after reporting its first quarterly loss in seven years. 

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note rising nine basis points (0.09%) to 2.92%, settling up two basis points (0.02%) for the week. Market participants priced in a more aggressive path of monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve (Fed) following an update showing personal spending climbing a bigger-than-expected 1.1% in March. Separately, the core PCE deflator (the Fed’s preferred proxy of inflation) jumped 5.2% year-over-year in March, coming in just below February’s 5.3% annual pace which had marked the highest print since 1983. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 1% to $104.26/barrel, still capping its first five-month winning streak since January 2018.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with ten groups losing more than 2.4%. Consumer Discretionary stocks lagged with a 5.9% drawdown. In other earnings, Apple Inc. (AAPL -3.66%) as disappointing current quarter revenue guidance overshadowed an upbeat profit tally. Intel Corp. (INTC -6.94%) after missing earnings and revenue estimates.

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.
