Major Indices Pulled Back With Lighter Volume Totals

The S&P 500 shed 0.3%, while the Dow lost 46 points, with both benchmarks coming off their best month since November 2020 (+9.1% and 6.7%, respectively). Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.2% following its strongest monthly performance since April 2020 (+12.4%). The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was fairly even as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 37 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the recent improvement in leadership is a reassuring sign.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back with lighter volume after recently climbing above the June high. It found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on the last pullback and remains well below its 200 DMA line.

US stocks finished slightly lower on Monday, with the recent rally in equities taking a breather. Investors weighed recessionary risks amid weakening global economic data. Boeing Co. (BA +6.13%) was a standout gainer, rallying after U.S. regulators approved plans paving the way for the jet maker to resume deliveries of its 787 Dreamliners.  Corporate earnings from big tech lifted the mood in July, while optimism over a potential Federal Reserve (Fed) policy pivot also bolstered risk appetite. However, weekend commentary from Fed officials highlighted the need to continue hiking interest rates to cool inflation.

On the data front, an update on U.S. manufacturing activity from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed growth in the sector slowed less than anticipated in July, with the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) print dipping to the lowest level since June 2020. However, the prices paid component fell to a trough not seen in nearly two years. Overseas, China’s official measure of manufacturing activity posted a surprise drop into contractionary territory. In Europe, manufacturing surveys in the largest countries also reflected shrinking activity.

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude retreated 4.9% to $93.78/barrel, a five-month low. Longer-dated Treasuries extended their recent rally, with the yield on the 10-year note down seven basis points (0.07%) to 2.59%, the lowest level since April. The 30-year bond yield slumped 11 basis points (0.11%) to 2.92%.

Retail Index and Semiconductor Index Rose

Pullback Following 3 Consecutive Gains With Heavier Volume

Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH -$3.29 or -1.16% to $280.89) reversed into the red and closed back below the pivot point after hitting another new high today. The pullback below the pivot point raised some concerns. It faces no resistance due to overhead supply. It was highlighted in yellow in the 7/28/22 mid-day report (read here). There were 3 consecutive volume-driven gains last week as it rallied and closed above the pivot point cited based on its 11/22/21 high plus 10 cents triggering a technical buy signal.

Fundamentals remain strong. ENPH went through a deep and choppy consolidation since last shown with an annotated graph on 12/02/21 under the headline, "Pullback Testing Near Prior High". It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98. The company has reported very strong sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Jun '22 versus the year ago periods, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history since FY '18 after years of losses.

The company hails from the Energy-Solar group which is currently ranked 2nd of the 197 Industry Groups (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,068 in Dec '20 to 1,764 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
