The index gain is wider underneath than it was this morning, but the average stock still lags. The rose 1.18% and the rose 1.16%, so small caps kept pace with tech. The Equal Weight gained only 0.11% against 0.60% for the cap-weighted index. Technology led, Energy trailed as oil fell on Iran diplomacy, and the eased. Sentiment is still fear at 34. This is a bounce with better participation, not yet a broad one.
Earnings did the heavy lifting. Boeing fell 10.69% on a day it was due to report before the open, per CNBC. This system holds no result for it, so the reason for the size of the drop is not in the data. UPS rose 5.80% after CNBC said it beat third-quarter expectations and raised full-year guidance again. JetBlue jumped 18.99% a day after CNBC reported a bigger loss on fuel costs, with the CEO saying margins are improving. HSBC extended its slide, and AMD and GM both gained over 5%.
Be careful with the AMD and GM gains, because nothing in the data explains either. Boeing's drop is real, but the figures behind it are missing here. JetBlue's bounce follows a slide from 4.23 to 2.37 across October, so it is still a small recovery in a falling stock. The real test is after the close. is estimated to report today and tomorrow, and neither result is in this system. A steady reaction in megacaps would show the equal-weight lag matters less.
JetBlue's one-day jump recovers only part of an October slide from above 4 to 2.37.
Boeing gapped lower on its report day after trading in a tight range all month.
UPS broke out of its October range after CNBC reported a beat and a second guidance raise.
