Leadership Waned as Major Indices Were Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 ended just below the flat line, but still posted a gain of 0.6% for the week and remains within 0.4% of its February 19 all-time closing high. The Dow added 34 points, trimming its weekly advance to 1.8%. The Nasdaq Composite was down 0.2%, dipping 0.1% for the week as Tech shares underperformed. The reported volume totals were near the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the Nasdaq exchange while the mix was nearly even on the NYSE. Leadership thinned as there were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 42 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals again on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. 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. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched -5.5% off its record high. Stocks finished mixed on Friday as investors digested economic data. Retail sales increased 1.2% in July, falling short of consensus estimates and well below the prior month’s upwardly revised 8.4% gain. Separately, a preliminary update from the University of Michigan revealed consumer sentiment unexpectedly improved in August. Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note steady at 0.71%, though the benchmark rate saw its largest weekly uptick since March (+15 basis points). In commodities, COMEX gold retreated 0.8% to $1,941.00/ounce, snapping a nine-week winning streak, while WTI crude pared its second-straight weekly gain.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory with Utilities leading decliners. The more traditionally cyclical groups continued to outperform, with Industrials climbing more than 3% for the week. In earnings, Applied Materials (AMAT +3.92%) rose after the chipmaker delivered a top and bottom line beat and provided upbeat forward guidance. In other corporate news, Novavax (NVAX +9.93%) rose after negotiating a deal with the United Kingdom to provide 60 million doses of its coronavirus vaccine.
In geopolitical news, reports indicated that this weekend’s meeting between top U.S. and China trade officials was canceled due to scheduling issues. The two sides had planned to review terms of the “phase one” trade deal.

Financial and Energy-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial stocks had a positive bias as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.90%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.83%) both posted gains, but the Retail Index ($RLX -0.17%) ended slightly in the red. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.89%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -0.91%) both slumped and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.10%) also ended slightly in the red. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.56%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.73%) each posted modest gains, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.41%) edged lower.
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.83%) recently rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line helping its technical stance, but it still faces near-term resistance at its 200 DMA line and its June high.

AMD Rose +46% Since First Featured on June 9th
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -$0.54 or -0.66% to $81.30) is consolidating near its all-time high, still very extended from the previously noted base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($62.27) and prior highs in the $59 area define important support to watch on pullbacks.
Bullish action came after it reported earnings +125% on +26% sales revenues for the Jun '20 quarter versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '20 showed very strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues growth versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been very strong after losses in FY '15 and '16. it has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.
AMD hails from the Electronics - Semiconductor Fabless industry which has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 95 (L criteria). It has a large supply of 1.17 billion shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it less likely to be a quick sprinter. However, the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,669 in Jun '19 to 2,109 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A, a Sponsorship Rating of B, and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of B+.

G - Quickly rebounding near its all-time high with light volume behind today's big gain. Bullish action last week came after it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance. The prior high ($189.85 on 6/03/20) defines initial support to watch above its 50 DMA line ($189.40).
