Major Indices Rose With Less Volume Conviction but More Leadership

The Dow rebounded from a more than 200 point drop to finish 299 points higher. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both rallied 1.1%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 12 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. 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 Nasdaq Composite Index is -13.9% off its record high, consolidating above its February high.

U.S. equities pushed higher during a volatile day of trading on Thursday, with a rally in Financials helping to reverse early session declines. Investors also continued to monitor updates on the coronavirus front. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the next phase of reopening in the Lone Star State would be halted, citing the recent surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with the Utilities group the lone laggard. The Financials group paced the gains with a 2.7% advance. Bank stocks provided a tailwind, following news federal regulators will ease some restrictions created after the Financial Crisis, which could free up capital for major banks. The Energy sector also outperformed as WTI crude climbed 2.7% to $39.02/barrel. In earnings, Accenture rose more than 7% after the consulting firm beat profit and revenue estimates.

Economic data was also in focus. The weekly initial jobless claims remained elevated at 1.48 million in the most recent week, while continuing claims dipped below 20 million for the first time since mid-April. Elsewhere, the final revision to first-quarter U.S. GDP showed the economy contracted at a 5.0% pace during the January-March period, in-line with expectations. Another update showed durable goods orders rebounded in May, posting the largest increase since 2014. Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note holding steady at 0.68%.

Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to clinch a convincing technical buy signal. It previously met stubborn resistance in the $82-84 area.
