Breadth Positive as Major Indices Ended Mixed

There were losses on Friday for the Nasdaq Composite (-0.4%) and S&P 500 (-0.1%) while there were gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.3%) and the Russell 2000 (+0.7%). The volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 54 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the prior session total. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched near its fresh all-time high.

The information technology sector (-1.0%) was the weakest sector while the materials (-0.2%), consumer discretionary (-0.1%), health care (-0.04%), and consumer staples (-0.01%) sectors suffered only small losses. The best winners were the energy (+2.1%) and utilities (+1.0%) sectors. 

Treasury yields moved lower in response to the latest PCE data and geopolitical angst.  The 2-yr note yield fell six basis points to 3.56% and the 10-yr note yield declined four basis points to 3.75%.
