Healthcare Dominates 52-Week Lows as Lows Far Outpace Highs Thursday

During trading Thursday, 8 stocks traded to a 52-week high, while 310 stocks bottomed out at new 52-week lows. The S&P 500 is up 1.5% so far today while the Dow is up 1.85%, the Nasdaq is up 0.66%, and the Russell 2000 is up 1.97%.

Stocks are higher Thursday as initial unemployment claims rose from 194,000 claims to 222,000. The rise in claims was far less than expected however as economists estimates hovered around 255,000 and the previous week’s claims were revised down slightly from 199,000 to 194,000 claims. Additionally, 194,000 set a new 52-week low and this past week’s numbers were right in line with the average right before the pandemic struck. Lastly, shares of Kroger (KR) are over 12% higher following the grocery store retailer’s earnings beat and jump in sales outlook going forward.
