Major Indices Ended Mixed as Volume Totals Cooled

The Dow fell 170 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.2% for the benchmarks fourth straight day of gains. Decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of less institutional selling pressure. There were 44 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 43 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 was encouraging to recently see the new highs totals improve.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite is perched near its record high. 

U.S. equities were whipsawed Wednesday, as investors weighed signs of improving economic data against developments on the COVID-19 front. Sentiment was mainly pressured by reports that showed an uptick in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations in several U.S. states. Meanwhile, in China’s capital, Beijing, officials canceled 1,200 domestic flights and closed schools to contain a localized outbreak.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified in front of Congress for the second day, reiterating the need for fiscal support on households and small business to mitigate economic damages. On the data front today, mortgage applications rose 8% overall in the week ending June 12, while applications for new homes rose to their highest volume in more than 11 years. Separate updates on housing starts and building permits showed both figures rebounded in May after experiencing sharp declines in April. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note falling two basis points to 0.73%.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the session in negative territory. The Energy sector led declines with WTI Crude slipping 1.9% to $37.66/barrel. In earnings, Oracle (ORCL -5.62%) fell after the company’s fourth-quarter results missed Wall Street’s revenue projections. In other corporate news, Chegg (CHGG +5.76%) rose after announcing a $500 million dollar stock buyback over the next year and a half. Stocks in the cruise line industry declined, with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH -8.40%) fell after cancelling the majority of its cruises through at least September.

It hit a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by +55% above average volume, however it retreated and finished the session bellow the pivot point. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help clinch a convincing technical buy signal.

The company hails from the Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry group which is currently ranked 6th of the 197 Industry Groups ( L criteria). It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of B. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,086 in Jun '19 to 1,123 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has 180.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria).
