Major Indices Posted Modest Gains on Day 3 of Rally Attempt

Stocks finished higher Thursday as investors assessed a strong batch of corporate earnings reports and better than expected economic data. The Dow climbed 214 points, while the S&P 500 added 0.9%, its best three-day performance in two months. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.0%. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of greater institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 63 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 27 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) were noted recently for action indicative of a "correction" while leadership (stocks hitting new highs) thinned.  ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.
Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and posted a 3rd consecutive gain but remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Disciplined investors will watch on Day 4-7 of the rally attempt for a follow-through day of big gains from at least one of the major indices backed with higher volume and an expansion in new 52-week highs - all of which are critical components of a confirmed uptrend.
 
Trade updates remained in focus after President Trump signed an executive order that forces Chinese telecom giant Huawei to gain government approval before acquiring components and other technology from U.S. companies. An additional report indicated Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Robert Lighthizer are expected to visit China at the end of May for another round of trade discussions.

On the data front, a report showed housing starts rose 5.7% in April, topping March’s upwardly revised 1.7% figure. Additionally, initial jobless claims came in at 212,000 in the most recent week, below projections of 225,000. The strong economic updates sent Treasury prices lower with the yield on the 10-year note climbing four basis points to 2.41%. In commodities, WTI crude gained 1.1% to $63.08/barrel. COMEX gold slipped 0.8% to $1,287.10/ounce amid a stronger dollar.

The spike in Treasury yields helped Financials stocks rebound from recent weakness with the sector advancing 1.1%. The Materials and Technology groups also outperformed, gaining 1.3% and 1.0% respectively. In earnings news, Walmart (WMT +1.4%) rose after besting analyst earnings projections. Cisco Systems (CSCO +6.7%) rallied after topping analyst earnings projections and raising its forward guidance.
