Major Indices Rebounded With Lighter Volume and Less Leadership

The Dow extended its midday gains, climbing 556 points to its highest level in five weeks. The S&P 500 rose 1.3% after fluctuating earlier in the session. The Nasdaq Composite reversed a 2% decline to advance 0.9%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 3-2 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 buying conviction coming from institutional investors. There were 15 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 91 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted abruptly yet still 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 Nasdaq Composite Index rebounded with a gain on lighter volume following a "negative reversal" with heavier volume at its all-time high.

Stocks finished higher during a volatile trading session on Tuesday, as investors digested second-quarter earnings results from some of Wall Street’s biggest banks. All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory with the Energy, Materials, and Industrials groups each rising more than 2%. The Consumer Discretionary sector underperformed on a relative basis, with Amazon (AMZN -0.64%) falling. In earnings, JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +0.57%) rose despite reporting a 51% decline in profit during the April-June period and its largest loan-loss provision on record. However, the largest U.S. bank by assets was helped in part by record revenue in its trading division. Meanwhile, Citigroup (C -3.93%) fell following a 73% drop in its earnings compared to a year earlier. Elsewhere, Delta Air Lines (DAL -2.65%) fell after posting a 91% decline in revenue and warning it would likely take more than two years before the industry could fully recover.

On the data front, the NFIB’s gauge of small business optimism improved last month to 100.6, but remained below February’s 104.5 pre-pandemic level. A separate update showed consumer prices rose 0.6% in June, the first uptick in four months. Core CPI (ex-food and energy) advanced 1.2% year-over-year, matching May’s pace. Treasuries modestly declined, with the yield on the 10-year note holding steady at 0.62%. In commodities, WTI crude added 0.4% to $40.27/barrel. COMEX gold fell 0.1% to $1,811.90/ounce.

Broker/Dealer Index, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The tech sector also had a positive bias as the Semiconductor ($SOX +1.81%), Networking ($NWX +2.09%), and Biotech Index ($BTK +2.24%) posted unanimous gains.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer ($XBD +1.46%) posted a gain, and it recently has been consolidating above its 50 and 200 DMA lines. The financials are reliable "leading indicators" and may give investors an important signal as to whether or not the current rally will continue  to be productive. Stay tuned!

Managed Positive Reversal After Testing 50-Day Moving Average

Axon Enterprise Inc (AAXN +$2.06 or +2.27% to $92.83) managed a "positive reversal" today after slumping near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($87.75) today. Its color code was changed to yellow after slumping below its "max buy" level with a big loss on light volume. It undercut prior highs in the $90-91 area but found prompt support. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal. 

AAXN completed a new Pubic Offering on 6/17/20. Such offerings often hinder price progress temporarily, yet they help companies attract greater institutional ownership interest (I criteria).  AAXN was highlighted in yellow in the 5/08/20 mid-day report with pivot point cited based upon its 2/19/20 high plus 10 cents (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/19/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Completed New Pubic Offering and Found Support Near Prior High". 

The company has a small supply of only 63 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 400 in Sep '19 to 468 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AAXN has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B-. The Security/Safety industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of A- (81).

The Sep, Dec '19 and Mar '20 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong, helping it get a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating.
