Dow Jones Today: Yields Fall
Early Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 0.9%, while the S&P 500 moved up 1.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite soared 3.4%, on pace to recover from Monday's 2.4% sell-off.
The 10-year Treasury yield advanced as high as 1.617% Monday, according to MarketWatch, before closing at 1.596%. The 10-year yield eased to about 1.533% Tuesday morning.
Among exchange traded funds, the Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) traded up 4% Tuesday. Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) rose 3.5%. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) moved up 1.5%.
Stock Market Correction
On March 4, the major stock indexes were rocked with heavy selling, while top growth stocks also crumbled. The Nasdaq dived to close at its lowest level since Jan. 4, turning negative for the year. The tech-heavy composite is ended Monday down 2.2% in 2021 after rallying as much as 10% from Jan. 1 to its Feb. 16 record high.
IBD's market outlook was downgraded to "market in correction" on March 4. During such periods of severe stock market weakness, investors should be lightly invested — or even in 100% cash — until a follow-through day. Follow-throughs signal a new potential market uptrend and give the green light to start buying stocks again. Currently, it is day three of a new rally attempt following Friday's rebound.
Use the downtime as a chance to take a mental break; however, don't tune out. Be on watch for the next leaders to emerge. One of the best ways to identify the next cycle of leading stocks during stock market corrections is to use the relative strength line. The RS line measures a stock's price performance vs. the S&P 500. If the stock is outperforming the broader market, the RS line angles upward. If a stock is performing worse than the broad market, then the line will point lower.
Monday's Big Picture commented, "Friday's positive reversal offered hope of a bottom in the stock market. The Nasdaq fought back from a 2.6% loss to close 1.5% higher that day. But the bullish momentum did not carry over into Monday. In fact, a late-fading market is indicative of underlying weakness." Check out the IBD's The Big Picture for more stock market commentary.
