Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved but Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 (-0.9%) and Nasdaq Composite (-2.0%) both lost ground on Thursday breaking 7-session winning streaks into new high territory. The Russell 2000 surged +3.6% and the S&P Mid Cap 400 posted a +2.5% gain. Volume was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 102 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 55 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back on Thursday breaking a 7-session winning streak into new all-time high territory.
The CPI report for June revealed that Total CPI deflated -0.1% month-over-month, slowing the pace of growth to +3.0% on a year-over-year basis from +3.3% in May. Core-CPI, which excludes food and energy, decelerated to +3.3% on a year-over-year basis from +3.4%. The 10-yr note yield declined nine basis points to 4.19% and the 2-yr note yield fell 12 basis points to 4.51%.
Rate-sensitive areas of the market benefitted from the drop in rates. The S&P 500 real estate sector was a standout in that respect, jumping +2.7%. Homebuilder stocks also surged in response to the movement in market rates. The SPDR S&P Homebuilder ETF (XHB) logged a +5.9% gain. Mega caps and semiconductor stocks saw losses due to profit taking activity. Tesla (TSLA -8.4%) fell on news that it is delaying its robotaxi plans until October.

Sputtering Below 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
PDD Holdings (PDD +$1.17 or +0.85% to $139.24) posted a 3rd consecutive small gain with below average volume, sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which may act as resistance. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($142) is needed for its outlook to improve. Its 200 DMA line ($128.66) defines important near-term support. PDD was last shown in this FSU section on 6/17/24 under the headline "Still Sputtering Below Pivot Point After Negating Breakout". It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 showed encouraging sales revenues and greatly improved earnings versus the year-ago periods with growth rate acceleration. After years of losses, it had a profitable FY '21-23 helping it better match the fundamental annual earnings (A criteria) guidelines of the fact-based investment system.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,487 in Jun '23 to 1,888 in Jun '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a B Timelinesss Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
