Major Indices Shook Off Early Weakness to Close Higher

The Dow climbed 157 points, erasing an early session loss of more than 760 points. The S&P 500 advanced 0.8%, reversing course from a 2.5% drop. The Nasdaq Composite added 1.4%. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of a slight increase in institutional buying demand. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices remain in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria)Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it will be important to see the new highs totals improve.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -9.6% off its record high.

U.S. equities finished higher on Monday as additional stimulus support from the Federal Reserve overshadowed worries surrounding a resurgence in COVID-19 infections. The central bank announced plans to purchase a broad portfolio of individual corporate bonds in the secondary market. Stocks had been pressured in early trading after portions of Beijing closed following a spike in coronavirus cases tied to the largest wholesale food market in Asia. This followed the worst week for U.S. equities since March as a downbeat economic outlook from the Federal Reserve and a rise in reported coronavirus cases weighed on the mood.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory with Financials pacing gains. In corporate news, BP (BP -1.58%) fell after indicating plans to writedown up to $17.5 billion of assets this quarter following sizeable reductions to its long-term outlook for oil prices. WTI crude rebounded to finish more than 2% higher despite the downbeat forecasts. Elsewhere, Moderna (MRNA +7.37%) rose following reports that Israel was in advanced discussions with the drugmaker to purchase its coronavirus vaccine.

On the data front, industrial production in China increased the most since December last month, but retail sales declined for a fourth-consecutive month. In the U.S., a gauge of manufacturing activity in the New York State region improved more than projected this month. Treasuries finished little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note steady at 0.71%.

The tech sector had a positive bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.02%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.43%) both rose while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.09%) finished flat.

Y - Abruptly retreated near its 50 DMA line ($52.97) with volume +15% above average behind today's big loss. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to trigger a convincing technical buy signal. Previously met stubborn resistance in the $57-59 area. Gains into new high territory may mark the beginning of a substantial leg higher. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 showed very strong earnings increases with greatly improved sales revenues growth in the Dec '19 and Mar '20 comparisons versus the year ago period.
