Breadth Positive as Major Indices Ended Mixed

The Dow slipped 28 points, extending its weekly loss to 1.0%. The S&P 500 added 0.3%, paring its weekly decline to 0.5%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.4% for the day but slid 1.1% for the week. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 32 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 27 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts may be justified in leading stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and near its record high.

Stocks finished mixed on Friday, as investors digested corporate earnings reports and continued to monitor negotiations on a pre-election fiscal stimulus deal. Talks for a fifth coronavirus relief bill seemed to reach a stalemate on Friday, with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin remarking “significant issues” remained unresolved despite making progress this week.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with the Communication Services group pacing the gains. Energy stocks lagged the most amid a 2.2% drop in WTI crude oil prices. Information Technology also bucked the uptrend amid a disappointing earnings report from Intel. Shares of the chipmaker slid 10.8% after the company reported an unexpected decline in data center sales and provided tepid forward guidance. Meanwhile, Barclays (BCS +6.00%) rose after the bank reported better than expected profit and revenue numbers. Elsewhere, Boston Beer Company (SAM 18.85%) after strong forward guidance driven by seltzer growth. In other corporate news, Gilead Sciences (GILD +0.20%) edged higher after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its COVID-19 antiviral drug, Remdesivir.

On the data front, a flash reading from research firm Markit showed the U.S. manufacturing sector expanded at a slightly slower pace than expected in October, while the services sector increased more than anticipated. Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis point to 0.84%.

G - Rebounded near its 50 DMA line ($82.04) today with a gain backed by higher (near average) volume. Damaging deterioration below the recent low ($73.85 on 9/18/20) would raise greater concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Faces some near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $94 level. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Challenged its all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain backed by ever-increasing volume. A Subsequent gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +53% on +41% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Sequential comparisons show encouraging acceleration in its sales revenues growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow after it rebounded near its 50 DMA line ($116.74) with light volume today helping its outlook to improve after damaging volume-driven losses. Members were cautioned with a recent note - "Recent gains above the new pivot point lacked the +40% above average volume needed to clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal."
