Ten-year Treasury yields slipped again Wednesday, helping the S&P 500® Index (SPX) and Nasdaq Composite (COMP) clinch their fourth-straight day of gains, while the release of the most recent batch of Federal Reserve meeting minutes stirred hopes the central bank may be done raising interest rates.
On the inflation front, the Labor Department said the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.5% in September from the month before. That was slower than August's 0.7% increase but still above the 0.3% increases analysts had expected. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.3%. That was slightly above the 0.2% analysts had forecast.
Of potentially greater interest to the market will be the Consumer Price Index (CPI) update, which is due Thursday. An unexpectedly fast acceleration in price pressures could scramble expectations for the future path of interest rates.
Investors got a backward glance at Fed officials' thinking Wednesday afternoon, with the release of the minutes from the Fed's September policy meeting.
Schwab Chief Fixed Income Strategist Kathy Jones notes that the tone of recent "Fedspeak" has been more neutral than the hawkishness we saw over the summer, "indicating Fed leaders believe monetary policy is restrictive enough to continue bringing inflation down to the bank's 2% long-term target."
"That's been the consistent message from a range of Fed officials," Kathy says. "The bar for another rate hike appears to be high, which is helping push intermediate to long-term bond yields lower."
Here is where the major benchmarks ended:
S&P 500 Index was up 18.71 points (0.4%) at 4,376.95; Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was up 65.57 points (0.2%) at 33,804.87; Nasdaq Composite was up 96.83 points (0.7%) at 13,659.68. The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was down nearly 10 basis points at 4.558%. Cboe's Volatility Index (VIX) was down 0.93 at 16.10.
Real estate and utilities were among the market's strongest sectors Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Utility Index (DJU) jumping more than 1% to a two-week high. Communication services and technology shares were also higher. Energy stocks led sector decliners as crude oil futures fell more than 2%, pressured by reports Saudi Arabia will support efforts to stabilize oil markets to account for uncertainty caused by the fighting in Israel.
Stocks on the move
The following companies had stock price moves driven by quarterly earnings, analyst ratings, or other news:
Ally Financial (ALLY) fell 2.1% after CEO Jeffrey Brown announced plans to step down at the end of January.
Amgen (AMGN) rose 4.6% after Leerink Partners upgraded the stock to "outperform" from "market perform," citing expectations for an expanding earnings multiple.
Dialysis provider DaVita (DVA) dropped 17%, while fellow provider Fresenius Medical Care (FMS) tumbled 18% on reports that Novo Nordisk's (NVO) diabetes drug Ozempic had showed signs of successfully treating kidney disease. Novo Nordisk shares rose 6.2% and are up nearly 45% this year.
Humana (HUM) fell 1.4% after the company said Bruce Broussard would step down as CEO in the second half of 2024.
Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) rose 1.4% after Exxon Mobil (XOM) agreed to buy the energy producer for nearly $60 billion, or $253 per share, in an all-stock merger. Exxon Mobil shares fell 3.6%.
Plug Power (PLUG) rose 5.3% after the battery company forecast a sharp rise in revenue by 2027 to roughly $6 billion.
Shoals Technologies (SHLS) rose 5.4% after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral," citing potential for stronger gross margins.
Silk Road Medical (SILK) fell 49% after Citi double downgraded the stock to "sell" from "buy," citing the CEO's recent departure and other factors. B. Riley and Stifel also downgraded the medical device maker.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) rose 1% after former Cigna executive Tim Wentworth was named CEO effective October 23.
Companies including Delta Airlines (DAL), Domino's Pizza (DPZ), and Walgreens Boots Alliance are due to report third-quarter results Thursday. Friday brings reports from some major banks, including Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Wells Fargo (WFC).
Fed notes
The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) September 19–20 meeting noted "solid" economic growth in the third quarter, continued tightness in the labor market, and still-elevated inflation. But bank officials also said the supply-demand imbalance for labor "appeared to be easing."
Kawan Food broke out from its 4-week bullish flag pattern with a long white candle on Friday, implying that its previous uptrend may have resumed. With the 20-day EMA remaining above the 50-day EMA since the bullish crossover in mid-July, the uptrend may continue in the near term. A bullish bias may emerge above the RM2.24 level, with a stop-loss set at RM2.05, below 30 Sep’s low. Towards the upside, the near-term resistance level is seen at RM2.40, followed by RM2.60.
