Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals Behind Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 439 points, while the S&P 500 advanced 2%, bouncing back from its first three-session decline since early June. The Nasdaq Composite was up 2.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 surged 3%, its best one-day performance since April, as investors appeared to “buy the dip” in Tech and other mega-cap shares. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 13 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 7 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals improved and outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have seen their uptrend recently come under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains very important to see substantial improvement in the new highs totals.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index halted its slide near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Stock finished higher on Wednesday, with Wall Street rebounding from a three-day slump that dragged the Nasdaq Composite into correction territory. Through Tuesday’s close, the Tech-heavy index had fallen more than 10% from its record level notched last Wednesday.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory with Technology stocks jumping 3.4%. Microsoft (MSFT +4.26%) and Apple (AAPL +3.99%) made sharp reversals from the last three trading sessions, during which the two technology titans shed a combined $500 billion in market cap. In corporate news, AstraZeneca (AZN -1.96%) after the drugmaker paused global trials of its experimental coronavirus vaccine due to the unexplained illness of one of the study’s participants. Meanwhile, other COVID-19 vaccine developers benefitted from the news, with BioNTech (BNTX +4.16%) and Moderna (MRNA +4.64%) each advancing. Elsewhere, Tiffany & Co. (TIF -6.44%) fell after France’s LVMH Moet Henessey (LVMUY +0.26%) took steps to back out of its $16 billion acquisition of the U.S. luxury jeweler.
On the data front, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed 6.6 million job openings at the end of July. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.69%. In commodities, WTI crude finished 3.5% higher at $38.05/barrel, recouping some of Tuesday’s sell-off of nearly 8%. |

Gold & Silver, Retail, and Semiconductor Indexes Led Group Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.86%), Biotech Index ($BTK +1.46%), and Networking Index ($NWX +1.16%) posted unanimous gains. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.60%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.47%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.83%).
PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +1.16%) halted its slide near its 200 DMA line.

Recently Sputtering Below 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Emergent Biosolutions (EBS -$0.21 or -0.20% to $104.00) violated its prior high $107.16 on 7/20/20) and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($109) during a spurt of 12 losses over the span of 14 sessions. A rebound above its 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +890% on +62% sales revenue for the Jun '20 quarter versus the year ago period.
The company is in the Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry group group rank fell from 39th to 70th out of the 197 industry groups (L criteria) since last shown in this FSU section on 8/21/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "High Ranked Biomed Leader is Extended From Prior Base". It currently has a 94 Earnings Per Share Rating, putting it in the top 10% of all publicly traded companies based on its earnings history. It has shown very strong quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong since a downturn in FY '16.
It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 45.5 million shares in the publicly traded float 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 453 in Sep '19 to 539 in Jun '20, and its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a B Timeliness rating and a B- Accumulation/Distribution rating. |

G - Volume was lighter behind today's gain. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($203) after volume-driven losses. More damaging losses leading to a 50 DMA violation would trigger a technical sell signal. Recently 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.

Y - Testing near its 50 DMA line ($501) with today's 5th consecutive loss with near average or lighter volume. More damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. A new pivot point was cited based on its 7/13/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
