Major Indices Continued in Rally Mode

The market-cap weighted S&P 500 settled +0.4% higher  Volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 129 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 104 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking 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 Nasdaq Composite Index was little changed on Thursday, lagging its peers.

Solid economic data underpinned the market. The U.S. S&P Global Services PMI for November showed an acceleration in services sector activity. Manufacturing PMI remained in contraction, but at a slower pace than in October. The final reading of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment for November showed a dip to 71.8 from 73.0 in the preliminary reading, but it was still above October's final reading of 70.5.

Large-cap stocks underperformed the broader market, with capital rotating into small and mid-cap stocks, along with other sectors that have trailed mega cap performance. The broad buying activity lifted 25 of the 30 Dow components.

Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors rose. The consumer discretionary sector (+1.2%) was a top gainer while the communication services sector (-0.7%) was a laggard.

Ross Stores (ROST +2.2% and Gap (GAP +12.8%) both closed higher after reporting quarterly results. Companies related to Bitcoin outperformed as crypto market participants awaited Bitcoin’s potential move to the $100,000 milestone. Coinbase (COIN +3.2%) and MicroStrategy (MSTR +6.2%) were notable standouts in the space.

The 10-yr yield settled two basis points lower at 4.41% and the 2-yr yield settled two basis points higher at 4.37%.
