Top five Chinese stocks to watch now
Stocks in buy zones
Boeing rose 2.9% to 218.11 on Thursday, moving above various short-term highs and a trend line, providing an early entry. The volume was strong. BA stock, at 221.33 buy points, is approaching a flat base dating back nearly four months. This followed a strong move by space giant Dow from late September to mid-February.
CAH rose 2.5% to 85.33, rebounding from the 21-day and 10-week lines and breaking a short downtrend in a small consolidation above a five-month base that cleared decisively in early May. Early Thursday, Cardinal Health slightly raised the midpoint of its 2023 earnings guidance and announced a $3.5 billion buyback of CAH shares.
TGTX stock rebounded 7.3% to 28.98, moving away from the 10-week line, retracing 21 days and breaking a downtrend. Stocks nearly doubled from the late-March to early-March breach before pulling back. TG Therapeutics is still losing money. Sales were up 286% last quarter, but only to $7.8 million. Investors may get some indication of monthly sales next week.
FND stock fell 1.2% to 96.55 in light volume on Thursday. But that followed a 5.1% jump on Wednesday in heavy trade, the retracement of the 50-day line. The flooring retailer is still doable than that. Flooring & Decor stock also has 40 point-of-purchase handle mugs.
TSM stock fell 0.35% to 99.94, still above 98.99 consolidated buy point, according to MarketSmith analysis. Taiwan Semi initially jumped into buy territory on May 25, following Nvidia’s strong earnings and guidance. On Monday, the quasi-Taiwan stock fell to about the 21-day line before cutting losses. The Taiwanese semiconductor company will report May sales as early as Friday.
Meanwhile, Nvidia stock rose 2.8% to 385.10, continuing to trade in a range after the May 25 earnings gap. There is no buying opportunity for NVDA stock right now, although a narrowing or pulling down pattern on, say, the 21-day line could provide opportunities to add shares.
Tesla stock
Tesla stock rose 4.6% Thursday to 234.86, its highest level in seven months. The electric car giant is now up for 10 sessions, its longest winning streak since 11 sessions in January 2021. But it posted nine straight gains on above-average trading volume. TSLA stock has been extended incrementally from the buy point of 207.79.
Tesla-GM charging deal
In Thursday night’s deal with Tesla-GM, GM will get 12,000 SuperChargers via adapter next year. GM will also begin using the charging port used by Tesla starting with the 2025 models. The deal will provide a boost to Tesla’s revenue, but also significantly boost charging options for GM and Ford as they ramp up production of electric vehicles.
Tesla stock jumped more than 5% in late active trading.
General Motors stock rose 4% overnight, indicating a return above the 200-day line.
Market rally analysis
The stock market rally had another constructive day, with Wednesday’s losers generally finding support while recent top gainers resisted big pullbacks.
The Nasdaq rebounded from above its 10-day line after leading a decline on Wednesday. But it is unclear if it can make a big move without a longer pause or drawdown. The Composite Index and the Nasdaq 100 are no longer extended from their 50 day lines, but it wouldn’t take much for them to look extended again.
The S&P 500 is trading at its 2023 highs and just below its 52-week peak. The Dow Jones index surpassed its highest levels last week and is not far from its best levels of the year.
In general, the winners and losers were approximately equal, the applicants having decisively won the previous two rounds.
The Russell 2000 and S&P MidCap 400 held back nearly all of Wednesday’s strong gains.
First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Mutual Fund (QQEW) rose 0.85%, still near its 52-week high.
Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Fund (RSP) made little gain after a consecutive 0.7% gain.
Ideally, the Nasdaq and many of the leading technology stocks will pause or decline modestly for a while, while other sectors take over in a broader breadth. There are signs of that over the past week, but this may not last.
Leadership may be rotating, or it may be expanding. Right now, there aren’t a lot of stocks flashing buy signals.
The program took a pounding on Wednesday, though the damage to the scheme depends on whether individual names are extended or recent hacks hover around purchase points. Some of these names may recover quickly, but others may not. The chipmakers, which generally did better on Wednesday, had a number of stocks showing constructive action.
Housing stocks are generally showing strength. Travel is on the move, but not many stocks seem doable at the moment. BA stock is among the many space names that show strength, along with machinery and industrial plays in general. Some medical and medical product makers are doing relatively well.
