Breadth Negative as Major Indices Fell

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -0.9%, the S&P 500 dropped -1.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite registered a -2.8% decline.
 The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 61 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows  outnumbered new highs 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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a 4th consecutive gain and hit a new all-time high. 

Losses in Microsoft (MSFT -6.0%) and Meta Platforms (META -4.1%) weighed down the equity market after their earnings reports. Monolithic Power (MPWR -17.5%) was the worst performer in the SOX Index even though the company beat Q3 expectations due to softer guidance than the market hoped for.

The S&P 500 information technology sector was the worst performing sector by a wide margin, ending with a -3.6% decline. The consumer discretionary sector was the next worst performer, dropping -1.8%. Sharp earnings-related declines also weighed on the market from Aptiv (APTV -17.7%), MGM Resorts (MGM  -11.0%), and eBay (EBAY -8.2%).

The 10-yr yield settled at 4.28%. The 2-yr yield settled at 4.16%. The latest economic data included initial jobless claims, which were a low 216,000, and the Q3 Employment Cost Index, which was up 0.8%. Also, the fed's preferred gauge on inflation, the core-PCE Price Index, stuck at 2.7% year-over-year for the third straight month. Personal income was up 0.3% month-over-month in September and personal spending increased 0.5%.
