Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose

The Dow advanced 369 points, ending the week with a 1.0% gain. The S&P 500 rose 1.1%, and finished with a weekly advance of 1.8%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.7% for its fourth record closing high this week, and extended its weekly gain to 4.0%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 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. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 95 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -6.1% of its record high and -1.4% year-to-date.

U.S. equities finished higher Friday, amid promising drug developments for the novel coronavirus reviving hopes for a swift economic recovery. Gilead Sciences (GILD +2.15%) said its coronavirus treatment drug, Remdesivir, reduced the risk of mortality by 62% compared to standard care, while BioNTech (BNTX +7.24%) stated its vaccine could be ready for approval by December. 

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory, as Financial and Energy stocks gained more than 3.0%. Travel-related stocks also outperformed, with Carnival Corp (CCL -10.84%) and American Airlines(AAL +6.80%) rallying. In other corporate news, Tesla (TSLA +10.78%) rose amid speculation the company is on the verge of joining the S&P 500 with analysts expecting the electric car maker to report a profit for the fourth consecutive quarter, an index requirement. Meanwhile, Netflix (NFLX +8.07%) rose after a Goldman Sachs analyst raised his 12-month price target to a street high $670/share.

On the data front, the producer price index unexpectedly fell 0.2% in June. Core PPI (excluding food and energy) advanced just 0.1% year-over-year, down from May’s 0.3% reading. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year increasing by two basis points to 0.63%. In commodities, WTI crude jumped 2.3% to $40.50/barrel, only to end the week little changed.

Financial and Energy-Linked Groups Led Gainers

The Bank ($BKX +5.28%) and Broker/Dealer ($XBD +3.12%) posted solid gains that helped underpin the major indices while the Retail ($RLX +0.74%) posted a smaller gain. Energy-linked groups were standout gainers as the Oil Services ($OSX +2.79%) and Integrated Oil ($XOI +3.07%) both posted solid gains. The tech sector had a slightly negative bias as the Semiconductor ($SOX -0.31%), Networking ($NWX -0.58%), and the Biotech ($BTK -0.68%) each edged lower.  The Gold & Silver ($XAU -0.48%) also edged lower.

Hovering Near High With Volume Totals Cooling

Biomarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN -$0.75 or -0.59% to $126.06) is hovering near its all-time high with volume totals cooling after a streak of 5 consecutive gains. It is very extended from any sound base. It stubbornly held its ground after a streak of gains for new highs marked by heavy volume. The prior high ($112.57) defines initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($107.92) on pullbacks.

BMRN was highlighted in the 6/17/20 mid-day report in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/04/20 high after forming an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/17/20 with an annotated graph under the headline "Hit New 52-Week High But Closed Below Pivot After 3-Weeks Tight". At the time it hit a new 52-week high with a 4th consecutive gain backed by +55% above average volume, however it retreated and finished the session below the pivot point. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by well above average volume helped clinch a convincing technical buy signal.

It has an Earnings Per Share Rating that is 99, the highest possible rank. It reported strong earnings up +343% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter versus the year ago period and recent quarterly comparisons showed solidly improved earnings increases with strong underlying sales revenues growth. Since turning profitable in FY '17 its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

The company hails from the Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry group which is currently ranked 12th 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 1,174 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has 180.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria).

Hit a new all-time high on the prior session and volume was +105% above average as it traded above the pivot point but stalled and ended in the lower half of its intra-day range. Subsequent volume-driven gains and a close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Important near-term support is at its 50 DMA line ($119.28). Fundamentals remain strong.
