12 Sep Stock Market Winning Streak Continue

The stock market continued its winning streak with another solid move higher. Stocks closed higher Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rising for the fourth straight day, as the market continues its recovery from last week's selloff.

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ gained 0.75% and 1%, respectively, while the DJIA added 0.58%. The major indexes have recovered a big chunk of the losses that were recorded last week amid concerns about the health of the economy and volatility in technology stocks.

The major indexes are on track to post weekly gains, after suffering their worst week in more than a year last week. 23 of the 30 Dow components settled higher.

NVIDIA (NVDA) surged 1.92% to $119.14, nearly 16% higher than Friday's close.

On the economic data front, weekly jobless claims and monthly wholesale price inflation numbers released early Thursday were mostly in line with economists' expectations. Data releases have had a big impact on market sentiment in recent weeks as market participants look for clues about the health of the economy and an indication of how aggressive the Federal Reserve might be when it starts cutting interest rates for the first time in four years.

Thursday's economic releases were among the last pieces of data coming before next week's meeting of the Fed's policy committee. Fed officials have signaled that they are poised to start reducing the influential fed funds rate, but they've stressed that data will drive the decisions on the pace and depth of the easing.

All 11 S&P 500 Sectors In Positive Gains

All 11 S&P 500 sectors registered gains, with communication services gaining +2.01% and consumer discretionary gain +1.15%) sectors leading the way.

The energy sector was a strong performer, driven by rising commodity prices. WTI crude oil futures rose 2.5% to $68.97 per barrel, and natural gas futures increased by 4.0% to $2.36 per mmbtu.

The rate-sensitive real estate sector logged the smallest gain at 0.1% as market rates moved up slightly.

Despite an impressive Q3 results, Adobe saw the stock price dropped by more than 8% in after-hours trading.

From the chart below on 1 hour, we can see that there is heavy selling from investors, this could be due to the repurchase of shares not that welcomed by investors, I would think it is better to monitor before deciding to take any position.

Moderna (MRNA) plans to launch an mRNA-based vaccine for skin cancer as early as next year. CEO Stéphane Bancel mentioned that the company's factory is almost ready, and the product could be available in six months.

You may want to consider taking a position on this stock.

From the technical, it looks like we are going to see a nice MACD bullish crossover build up and KDJ have already show a nice upside from the J value.

I would be expecting WBD to continue an upside trading.

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ announced an additional investment of over $2.1 billion in its Delivery Service Partner program. The funds will be used for safety programs, training, and incentives, aiming to increase driver pay to a national average of nearly $22 per hour.
