The Dow lost 112 points, to cap weekly gains at 0.6%. The S&P 500 declined 0.4%, but ended the week up 1.0%. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% but still rallied 1.7% this week. For the month, the S&P 500 rose 3.4%, its best monthly performance since June. The Dow advanced 3.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 4.5%. Decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. The shortened session's volume totals were obviously lighter than the prior session on both major exchanges. There were 34 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 82 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its record high.

The major averages fell from their record highs in Friday’s abbreviated trading session. Investor sentiment was dampened after China’s foreign ministry warned of unspecified retaliation against President Trump’s decision to sign a Human Rights Protest Bill supporting the protestors in Hong Kong. There were no economic releases scheduled.

Next week’s data docket will be highlighted by separate updates on manufacturing and service sector activity as well November’s payroll figure. Treasuries were mixed along the curve, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note adding one basis point to 1.78% and the two-year note down one basis point to 1.61%. In commodities, COMEX gold rose 0.7% to $1,463.50/ounce. Despite the gains, the precious metal declined nearly 3.4% in November, its largest monthly drop in three years.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory. The Energy group led laggards as WTI crude slumped 4.4% to $55.52/barrel, with oil prices snapping a three week winning streak. Shares of retailers were in focus during today’s session as market participants closely monitored updates on holiday shopping sales figures. Estimates from Adobe (ADBE +0.12%) suggested this year’s Black Friday sales totals, which included both in-store and online shopping, were expected to increase by 20.5% year-over-year to $7.5 billion.

Rebound Leaves Supply Chain Management Software Firm Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

S P S Commerce Inc (SPSC -$1.21 or -2.10% to $56.33) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 7/26/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It is consolidating near its all-time high. Subsequent gains above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal.

A 2:1 split impacted share price on 8/23/19 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list. It reported earnings +27% on +13% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A small downturn in FY '16 earnings was previously noted as a flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history.

SPSC went through a choppy consolidation and rebounded impressively since last shown in this FSU section on 8/08/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support at 50-Day Average". The high-ranked Computer Software firm's current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

It completed new Public Offerings on 11/20/13 and 9/06/12. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 238 in Mar '18 to 483 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of D. The small supply of 34.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the even of institutional buying or selling.
