Major Indices Were Little Changed While Leadership Remained Thin

Stocks finished mixed Wednesday as investors assessed the latest news surrounding U.S.-China trade relations. The Dow added 2 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.2%, and Nasdaq Composite fell 0.3%. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 9 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) have seen their uptrend come under pressure while market leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has recently thinned. Healthy leadership must be present for any sustained market rally, so this will be watched very closely in the days ahead. ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has encountered distributional pressure, indicated by losses with heavier volume, since reaching a new record high last week.

U.S. equities fluctuated, with investor sentiment lifted mid-day following a tweet from President Trump. His message reassured market participants that Chinese delegates are traveling to Washington to solidify a final trade pact. A prior report from Reuters had indicated Beijing backtracked on key commitments in the draft trade deal. The Industrials sector, which has recently served as a proxy of the trade dispute, finished just above the flat line but remains down 3% for the week.

In corporate news, Electronic Arts (EA +1.24%) rose after the game developer topped consensus projections. Meanwhile, U.S. Steel (X -6.15%) fell following an analyst downgrade. Intel (INTC -2.46%) fell following disappointing guidance at its Investor Day. In M&A news, Andeavor Logistics (ANDX +4.28%) rose after agreeing to be acquired by Marathon Petroleum (MPC -7.07%) for $9 billion.

Treasuries erased earlier gains to finish lower, with the yield on the 10-year note up three basis points to 2.48%. On the data front, the lone domestic update showed mortgage applications rose 2.7% in the last week after dipping 4.3% during the prior period. In commodities, WTI crude climbed 0.8% to $61.91/barrel following a surprise drawdown in U.S. inventories. COMEX gold dipped 0.3% to $1,282.20 after rising to the highest level in more than three weeks.

Needs Rebound Above 50-Day Average for Outlook to Improve

S S & C Technologies Holdings, Inc (SSNC -$0.02 or -0.03% to $58.90) still needs a rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($63.12) for its outlook to improve. It halted its slide after a damaging gap down violated its 50 DMA line triggering a technical sell signal noted on 5/01/19. 

It reported earnings +72% on +170% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and fundamentals remain strong.  SSNC was last shown in this FSU section on 3/27/19 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Hovering Near High With Volume Totals Cooling in Recent Weeks." It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/03/19 high plus 10 cents in the 2/15/19 mid-day report (read here).

Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been very strong. The Computer Software - Financial industry group currently has an A+ Group Relative Strength Rating, and leadership among other individual issues in the group is a reassuring sign.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 817 in Mar '18 to 1,108 in Mar '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria of the fact-based investment system. The high-ranked Computer Software - Financial firm completed new Public Offerings in April 2018 and June 2015. It proposed a Secondary Offering on 12/03/18. Secondary Offerings were previously noted 5/09/13, 3/14/13, and on 7/19/12. Such offerings can be a short-term hindrance, however new institutional owners are often attracted when a company has the help of underwriters in placing shares during offerings.
