Major Indices Continue to Rally on Reopening Optimism
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 gained 1.2% to rebound back into positive territory for the year. The benchmark index has surged 44.5% since bottoming on March 23, now within 4.6% of its record level reached on February 19. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.1%, closing at a fresh all-time high, while the Dow added 461 points. Advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the 60 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so the recent improvement in new highs totals was noted as an encouraging sign.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index hit a new record high.

Stocks finished higher on Monday amid continued optimism surrounding economic reopenings. All 11 S&P 500 sectors advanced, with Energy and Utilities pacing gains. In earnings, Thor Industries (THO +11.14%) rose after posting a surprise profit during the latest quarter. In stock news, Boeing (BA +12.20%) rose following a positive analyst rating initiation. Meanwhile, travel-related stocks outperformed, with airlines and cruise line operators among the standouts.

In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar declined for the eighth-straight session, marking the longest stretch of losses since 2011. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 3.4% to $38.19/barrel amid disappointment that Saudi Arabia would not extend its additional production cuts beyond this month. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the 10-year note down one basis point to 0.87%. The yield curve flattened slightly after steepening the most since March last week. In the central bank space, the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting will likely garner attention on Wednesday.

This followed Friday’s session, during which a surprise jump in non-farm payrolls bolstered market expectations for a swift economic recovery. For the week, the S&P 500 advanced 4.9%, marking its third-straight weekly gain of more than 3% for the first time since 1982.

Pullback Into Prior Base Negated Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX +$2.65 or +2.29% to $118.51) posted a gain today with below average volume. Its recent slump below the pivot point and back into the previously noted base raised concerns. Today's rebound was reassuring, but more damaging losses would not bode well.

NBIX was last shown in this FSU section on 5/19/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Biotech Firm Has New Parkinson's Treatment Drug Approved by FDA". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/04/20 high plus 10 cents in the day's earlier mid-day report (read here). It reversed into the red and closed lower after early gains touched a new all-time highs (above the $126.98 in Sep '18). Technically, it broke out for a new 52-week high (N criteria) on the 5/18/20 with +101% above average volume behind a big gain after a gap up and its finished strong.

It reported earnings +545%, +200%, +163%, and +183% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '19 and Mar '20 quarters, well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year ago periods, respectively. It showed greatly improved sales revenues up +89%, +46%, +86%, and +71% during that same span of quarterly comparisons. After years of losses it reported strong annual earnings (A criteria) results in FY '18 and '19.

There are 92.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 651 in Jun '19 to 908 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship Rating. It hails from the strong Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry which is currently rated 6th of the 197 industry groups listed in the newspaper (L criteria). In late April it received approval from the FDA for ONGENTYS, a new medication (N criteria) to help patients with Parkinson's disease better manage motor fluctuations.
