TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Weak action has been noted as a more worrisome market correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts during market corrections and to reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.


Major Indices Rose With Less Volume Conviction

The major indices logged gains ranging from +0.8% to +1.2%. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster institutional buying demand following a more decisive sell-off. Advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 13 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a market correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that in corrections it is wise to reduce market exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain Tuesday with lighter volume following 3 straight damaging volume-driven losses. The deterioration raised greater concerns for the broader market outlook.

The recent retreat in equities was partially due to the yen's rapid strengthening against the dollar, which triggered the plunge in Japan's Nikkei. The yen weakened slightly against the dollar Tuesday, acting as support for US equities and helping drive a 10% move higher in the Nikkei. The USD/JPY pair trade is +0.3% to 144.72.

Positive earnings news from Uber (UBER +10.9%), Caterpillar (CAT +3.0%), and others aided the upside bias. San Francisco Fed President Daly (FOMC voter) that policy adjustments will be necessary in the coming quarter. The CBOE Volatility Index, which spiked above 65.00 Monday before returning to the 35.00 area, pulled back to 27.71.

Treasuries saw a new $58 billion 3-yr note auction meet solid demand. The 10-yr note yield jumped ten basis points to 3.89% and the 2-yr note yield settled ten basis points higher at 3.98%.

Y - Finished flat after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 5/20/24 high plus 10 cents. Found prompt support at its 200 DMA line ($1,578) last week and challenged its 52-week high with today's early gain. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Jun '24 quarterly earnings +103% on +42% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Following losses in FY '18 -'20 and annual earnings (A criteria) have improved greatly. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
