Market Overview
Recovery and value stocks helped send the S&P 500 and Dow Jones to yet another record close on the day after the Infrastructure bill made it through the Senate.
The Nasdaq closed with a loss of -0.16%. Volume was slightly higher than the previous day. The index opened up with a short rally to the intraday high and then sold off through the morning until getting support at the 21d exponential moving average before moving higher. The action created a long lower wick underneath a 46% red body and a 48% closing range. There were more declining stocks than advancing stocks on the growth-heavy Nasdaq. Beyond the Nasdaq, there were far more advancing stocks than declining stocks in the US markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) led the major indexes for another day with a +0.62% gain for another record close. The S&P 500 (SPX) also had a record close, advancing +0.25% today. The Russell 2000 (RUT) gained +0.49%.
The VIX volatility index declined -4.25%.
Cyclical sectors led the sector list for another day, with Materials (XLB +1.41%) and Industrials (XLI +1.30%) performing the best with a boost from the Infrastructure bill progress. At the bottom of the list was Health Services (XLV -0.99%), weighed down by losses from several large vaccine providers.

Market Leaders

Investor Sentiment
The put/call ratio advanced to 0.749. The put/call ratio (PCCE) is a contrarian indicator of overly bullish or overly bearish investor behavior. The 0.7 level is considered normal. Below that level is overly bullish.
The CNN Fear & Greed index is in the middle of the Fear range, moving toward neutral.

Looking ahead
The Produce Price Index data publishes on Thursday. We'll also get an update of Jobless Claims data that surprised investors last week.
Wednesday's earnings reports include Walt Disney (DIS), Airbnb (BNB), DoorDash (DAH), Baidu (BIDU), Palantir (PLTR), Xpeng (XPEV), and LifeMD (LFMD).

-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-
Wrap-up
There are no surprises today as the Infrastructure Bill moves investors back into recovery and value stocks, focused on those stocks likely to benefit from the spending bill. The Nasdaq declined for a second day as the rotation pulled people away from growth stocks that make up the index.
There were many bullish indicators in the market today. Inflation is not out of control. Earnings reports continue to be strong, with positive outlooks. Demand for 10y Treasury notes remains high. Commodities advanced. Major indexes set record closes.
Based on the chart, the Nasdaq got support at the 21d EMA today but is trending downward and may continue moving sideways or lower over the next few days as the current rotation completes.
