Major Indices Were Little Changed as Leadership Waned

The major indices were little changed on Tuesday. The volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and nearly 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 53 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.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from its all-time high. 

Dow components Verizon (VZ -5.0%) and 3M (MMM -2.3%), GE Aerospace (GE -9.1%) and Lockheed Martin (LMT -6.1%) fell following their earnings reports. General Motors (GM +9.8%) was sharply higher after above-consensus earnings and guidance. Microsoft (MSFT +2.1%) and Meta Platforms (META +1.2%) were influential standouts. Six of the 11 S&P 500 sectors declined. The industrial sector was the worst performer, dropping -1.2%. The consumer staples sector logged the largest gain, increasing +0.9%.

Rising market rates contributed to the downside bias in equities. The 10-yr yield settled another two basis points higher at 4.20%. The 2-yr yield settled one basis point higher at 4.04%.
