TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market remains in a correction (M criteria), as arguably the rally still needs a solid confirmation. An opportunity for a valid follow-through day remains open unless the recent lows or May 20th lows are violated. 


Major Indices Trimmed Early Gains Yet Still Closed Higher

The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, trimming an earlier advance of 1.5%. The Nasdaq Composite increased 0.4%. The Dow added 16 points, paring a gain of more than 300 points. Volume totals for Monday were reported higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 6-5 margin on the NYSE while decliners narrowly led advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 31 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have been in a noted market correction (M criteria). Sources at the newspaper, following the Thursday 5/26/22 session, relabeled it a "confirmed uptrend" despite flaws noted in our ongoing market commentaries. Followers of the fact-based investment system know to watch for a follow-through day backed by higher volume which could signal a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index was seen lighter volume totals while recently sputtering. The 3 major indexes cannot be said to be in "healthy" technical shape while all of them are sputtering well below both their 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Regular readers of this commentary know to be watching closely for signs of truly increasing institutional buying demand. Arguably, the rally still needs confirmation, and an opportunity for a valid follow-through day remains open unless the recent lows or May 20th lows are violated.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday in lackluster trading. The major averages consolidated from a downbeat week, as the latest monthly jobs report bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would continue to aggressively tighten monetary policy in an effort to combat inflation. Investors monitored another back-up in Treasury yields. The benchmark 10-year note yield jumped 10 basis points (0.10%) to 3.04%, reclaiming the 3.00% level for the first time in nearly a month.

Still, risk appetite was supported by reopening efforts in China, with the world’s second largest economy lifting a broad range of COVID-19-related restrictions. Also buoying the mood were signs of easing regulation in the nation’s tech sector. DiDi Global Inc. (DIDI +24.32%) rose amid reports Chinese regulators would restore the ride-hailing giant’s app to mobile stores as they conclude their year-long investigation.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory. The Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services groups outperformed amid strength in Google parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL +1.99%) and Amazon.com Inc (AMZN +1.99%). Elsewhere, solar energy stocks were among the standouts as the Biden administration moved to halt tariffs on solar panel products from certain countries.

Market participants are awaiting Friday’s release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which could impact the pace of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening cycle. Fed officials are currently in their media blackout period ahead of next week’s June 14-15 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

Retail, Financial, and Energy-Linked Groups Rose

A solid gain for the Retail Index ($RLX +1.21%) and modest gains for the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.61%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.39%) helped give the major averages a boost. The tech sector was mixed as the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.40%) slumped while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.00%) finished flat and the  inched higher. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.91%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.31%) both edged higher while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.99%) fell.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.36%) graph shows it still well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Encountering Distributional Pressure After Reaching New Highs

Eli Lilly & Co (LLY +$1.71 or +0.57% to $303.36) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($297) which defines important near-term support to watch. It has encountered distributional pressure with volume-driven losses. Although it recently wedged above the pivot point cited based on its 4/07/22 high plus 10 cents, the gains above the pivot point lacked the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Confirming gains for new highs with at least +40% above average volume would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand.

LLY was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/07/22 high plus 10 cents in the 5/16/22 mid-day report (read here). This giant Medical - Diversified firm was covered in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Eli Lilly & Co Challenges All-Time High".  

Fundamentals remain strong. LLY has a 92 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +63% on +15% 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 (A criteria) improved steadily since a downturn in FY '14.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 3,055 in Dec '20 to 3,538 in Mar '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are 950.2 million shares outstanding, making it an unlikely sprinter, while it is also well-recognized already by the institutional crowd.
