 Wall Street rebounded on Wednesday despite a choppy open as mildly positive factory data fueled sentiment. Specifically, industrial production increased 0.4% in August, slightly beating estimates. Additionally, capacity utilization rose to 76.4% from 76.2% while manufacturing edged up 0.2%.
The gains helped push the major indexes back into positive territory for the week. Meanwhile, volatility settled lower after holding a key level of resistance for the second-straight session.
The Russell 2000 tested a high of 2,236 while ending at 2,234 (+1.1%). Lower resistance at 2,225-2,250 and the 50-day moving average were recovered. A close above the latter would be a bullish development for another run towards 2,275-2,300. Below is a chart of the IWM.
The S&P 500 closed at 4,480 (+0.9%) with the afternoon peak kissing 4,486. Current and lower resistance at 4,475-4,500 was cleared and held. A move above the latter would signal a possible trip towards 4,525-4,550 with the beginning of the month all-time high at 4,545.
The Nasdaq tagged a high of 15,174 after briefly falling below the 15,000 level before finishing at 15,161 (+0.8%). Near-term and lower resistance at 15,100-15,250 was reclaimed. A close above the latter keeps upside towards 15,350-15,400 in play with the recent record peak at 15,403.
The Dow tapped an intraday high of 34,880 while settling at 34,814 (+0.7%). Lower resistance at 34,750-35,000 was cleared and held. A close above the latter and the 50-day moving average would suggest a near-term bottom with further strength towards 35,250-35,500.

In addition, the company announced it will enter into a new Accelerated Share Repurchase plan that will conclude by the end of 2021.

With uranium prices on the move, stocks like DNN could push even higher. At the moment, investors are betting that nuclear power could be a part of the move away from fossil fuels. Also, the world is running into a supply-demand issue. For 2021, with a lack of new uranium mines, supply could fall 15% by 2025, and by as much as 50% by 2030, as demand rises.
In addition, according to the Financial Times, “The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust has snapped up about 6m pounds of physical uranium, worth about $240m, since launching on July 19, helping to push uranium prices to more than $40 per pound, up from $30 at the start of the year. Global mine supply is expected to be about 125m pounds in 2021.” Also, China has plans to increase its nuclear power capacity over the next few years. This is just one of the opportunities we find quite often inside Extreme Option Profits.

The stock market showed continued weakness on Wednesday with the majority of the major indexes falling for the third-straight session. The Fed’s Beige Book helped fuel bearish sentiment following comments that the U.S. economy slowed in August as concerns grew over how the renewed surge of coronavirus cases would affect the economic recovery. The Russell 2000 settled at 2,249 (-1.1%) with the morning low reaching 2,241. Fresh and upper support at 2,250-2,225 was breached and failed to hold. A drop below the latter and the 50-day moving average would suggest ongoing weakness towards 2,200-2,175. The Nasdaq tumbled to an intraday low of 15,206 before closing at 15,286 (-0.6%). Prior and upper support at 15,250-15,100 was breached but held. A move below the latter would signal additional risk towards 15,000-14,850. The Dow ended at 35,031 (-0.2%) with the low kissing 34,925. Key support at 35,000 and the 50-day moving average were breached but levels that held. A close below the former will likely lead to a retest towards 34,750-34,500. The S&P 500 tested a low of 4,493 before finishing at 4,514 (-0.1%). Crucial support at 4,500 was tripped but held. A close below this level would signal additional weakness towards 4,475-4,450.
