Breadth Negative as Major Indices Pulled Back

The Nasdaq Composite outperformed other major indices, climbing 0.3%. The S&P 500 (-0.2%) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.8%) both ended lower. The volume reported was near the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 53 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 103 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still 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.

Th10-yr yield settled 11 basis points higher at 4.18% and the 2-yr yield settled seven basis points higher at 4.02%. 

Gains in some mega cap names including NVIDIA (NVDA +4.1%) were influential. Meanwhile, 23 of the 30 Dow components fell. Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors declined. The information technology sector (+0.9%) was a standout gainer. The rate-sensitive real estate sector (-2.1%) logged the largest decline. The health care sector (-1.2%) was the next worst performer. A sizable decline in shares of Cigna (CI -4.7%) came as Bloomberg reported that it was in talks to takeover Humana (HUM -2.5%).

The latest earnings reports from Boeing (BA +3.1%) and UPS (UPS  -3.4%) are due this week.
