SPX All-time High by .22 of a Point...Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Financial Led Sectors....Afterhours: AVGO Gaps Up on Positive EPS Reactions...Jobs Report Friday 8:30 am ET...

© 2025

SPX +53.82, 6,502, opened higher, trended up, closed higher after a bull flag bounce on Wednesday.  A new all-time closing high by .22 of a point.  Breadth strengthened meaningfully on Thursday.

One headline today indicated the SPX closed at a new high on “Thursday on hope jobs report won’t be too cold or hot.”  I find this type of observation to be both questionable and sillier than the classic fairy tale Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, “not too hot not too cold.” 

Seriously, what institutions buy stocks that push the SPX to a new high because of hope?  Thursday’s volume in AMZN alone was 59,391,800 shares.  Multiplying the volume by an average AMZN price of $233.27 per share results in more than $13.8 billion. And that is just a single stock.  Institutions which use rigorous fundamental, macro and geopolitical analysis to make decisions, don’t invest tens of billions of dollars across the 500 SPX stocks on the emotion of hope.

Institutions do know what the consensus estimate of the Jobs Report and they are willing to take the risk that an investment on Thursday will earn them a positive return over the next several days to weeks, it’s not based on hope.  Someone observed “hope is not a strategy!”  They are right, it’s not.

NDX +0.93%, opened slightly higher, trended higher and closed higher.

DJI, 45,621, +0.77%, opened flat, trended up and closed 10 points below it recent all-time high, led by strength in GS, AMZN and AXP.

NVDA +1.04, +0.61%, opened flat, traded in a range, formed a spinning top.

AVGO +3.71, +1.23%, gapped open, traded in a range, formed a spinning top.  After the close reported EPS beat, Sales beat, 63% growth in AI sales, raised guidance.  Afterhours: +11.30, +3.69%,

After hours: GOOGL +15.73, +7.43% after judge issues limited remedies in the Google monopoly case and will not have to sell its Chrome web browser.

New information did come into the market over the 3-day Labor Day weekend including an appeals court ruling (7-4) against the Administration’s tariff process and Ukrainian drone attacks forcing Russia to shut 17% of its oil-processing capacity. 

Futures traded lower both Sunday and Monday evening and Tuesday pre-market.  SPX -44.72, 6,415, opened 58 points lower and fell another 40 points during the first two and a half hours of trading.  Sellers exhausted and buyers controlled last four hours of trading as the SPX formed a bullish red outlined white hammer candle pattern.

NDX Closed Lower Following MRVL's Negative EPS Reaction and Weakness in Semiconductor and Technology Stocks...Health Care, Consumer Staples and Real Estate Led Sectors...Markets Closed Monday for Labor Day...Happy Holiday!

© 2025

Markets are closed Monday for the Labor Day Holiday...Have a safe and relaxing weekend!  We're back on Tuesday.

A significant portion of Friday’s selling occurred in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors.  MRVL was lower on a negative EPS reaction and all but one of the 25 semiconductor stocks in SMH moved lower in sympathy.  Only TER +0.30% was positive.  Heavy selling also occurred in NVDA, AVGO and AMD.  In the consumer discretionary sector there was heavy selling in TSLA.

Notwithstanding weakness in semiconductor stocks and the technology sector, the SPX is just .64% below its all-time high on Thursday.  A one-day pullback with a lower shadow on Friday’s candle does not change the four and half month uptrend.  We are looking for a re-breakout and new highs next week.

SPX -41.60, 6,460, pulled back on a breakout test following Thursday’s breakout to a new high.  Breadth was mixed and weaker on Friday.

NDX -1.22%, closed lower following weakness in semiconductor and technology stocks following a MRVL negative EPS reaction.

DJI, 45,544 -0.20%, traded in a range, closed slightly lower, led by weakness in CAT, NVDA and MSFT.

MRVL -14.36, -18.60%, opened lower on a negative EPS reaction on an EPS beat, sales slight miss and softer guidance. 

DELL -11.90, -8.88%, opened lower on a negative EPS reaction on an EPS, Sale beat, raised FY 2026 guidance, issued softer guidance for Q3 EPS.

NVDA -5.99, -3.32%, moved in sympathy with a negative MRVL eps reaction, formed a 3-day bull flag pattern.

AVGO -11.26, -3.65%, is a bull flag bounce pause day.

Mega caps BRK/B, GOOGL, rose and AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, META, TSM, NVDA, TSLA, AVGO fell on Friday.
