TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses quickly negated Tuesday's follow-through day and signaled a continuation of the market correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until more decisive strength returns.


Major Indices Lose More Ground While Market Leadership Thins

The S&P 500 fell 0.6% after suffering its worst session since June 2020 (-4%) yesterday, and now sits within 1.5% of bear market territory (defined as a 20% drop from a recent peak). The Dow shed 236 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.3%. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by just a narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 6-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership was thin as there were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered the very short lists of new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchangeThe damaging losses for the major indices effectively negated Tuesday's noted follow-through day, quickly signaling a continuation of the market correction (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered another damaging loss on higher volume, erasing recent gains and slumping to a new 2022 low.

U.S. stocks finished lower during a choppy session Thursday as worries over inflation and tighter monetary policy incited a cautious tone. Corporate earnings reports from high-profile retailers have disappointed in recent days, with both Target Corp. (TGT -5.06%) and Walmart Inc. (WMT -2.74%) flagging higher costs and signs of weakening consumer spending.

Treasuries strengthened, with the 10-year note yield down three basis points (0.03%) to 2.85%. In FOREX trading, the U.S. dollar fell 1.0% against a basket of its peers. On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims came in at 218,000, unexpectedly rising to the highest level since January. Still, continuing claims dropped to the lowest level since 1969 in the week ending May 7, underscoring a still-robust labor market. Separately, the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook slumped more than forecasted in May to 2.6, the lowest level in two years. Finally, the leading index of economic indicators unexpectedly dipped 0.3% in April, while existing home sales declined 2.4% during the month.

In corporate news, Kohl’s Corp. (KSS +4.43%) rose after executives alluded to the possibility of multiple takeover bids following a downward revision to its full-year guidance. Meanwhile, Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO -13.73%) gapped down after warning that lingering supply chain issues should adversely impact current-quarter results. Elsewhere, shares of Under Armour Inc. (UA -15.76%) saw a double-digit percentage decline after unexpectedly announcing the departure of its CEO.

Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.
