Major Indices Rose With Improved Leadership

The Dow rose 55 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both added 0.2%. The major averages each rose to another all-time high, with the S&P 500 notching its 12th record closing level in less than a month. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on both major exchanges, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. Leadership improved as there were 77 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 71 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index  rallied for a new record high close with a gain backed by higher volume. 

US Stocks finished higher on Tuesday, as investors assessed developments on the trade front. Overnight, China’s Ministry of Commerce revealed Washington and Beijing “reached consensus on properly resolving relevant issues” during a phone conversation with top officials. Comments from President Trump that the U.S. was nearing a preliminary trade deal further boosted investor sentiment. 

On the data front, an update from the Conference Board showed consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in November, sending the gauge lower for a fourth straight month. Wholesale inventories rebounded 0.2% in October from the prior month’s downwardly revised 0.7% decline. A separate release showed advance goods trade deficit narrowed in October. Another report showed new home sales dipped 0.7% in October, but the prior month’s reading was upwardly revised to a 4.5% increase, marking the best two-month pace in more than 12 years. Treasuries advanced with the yield on the 10-year note off two basis point to 1.74%.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Retail earnings remained in focus, with Best Buy (BBY +9.86%) rose following its quarterly results that included a top and bottom line beat and a boost to its full-year outlook. Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS +18.62%) rose after its comparable-store sales jumped more than double analyst’s forecasts. Dollar Tree (DLTR -15.24%) after reporting that tariffs are expected to pressure fourth-quarter profit margins.

Gold & Silver Index and Retail Index Led Group Gainers

Commodity-linked ground were mixed, with the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.53%) outpacing the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.08%) to the downside, meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.99%) was a standout gainer on the session.
