Word of the Day: Advancers (Composite 1,186.90, +2.27%)
Market 101. A big up day, so today's word is "Advancers", taught with today's numbers.
Advancers are simply the companies that closed above yesterday's close. Today: 26 up, 11 down, 0 unchanged. When the index moves, a glance at the advancers tells you whether most companies moved together or a few large ones carried it.
Today's numbers: Composite 1,186.90 (+2.27%), 26 up and 11 down, turnover 10.79B CC. The widest move was Liberty Copper (FCOP) +11.58%.
There was one market-wide headline today: "A crude supply outage sends the city's oil price sharply higher in one day". Pipeline maintenance in a fictional oil-producing region is running longer than expected, and fuel costs across the city are rising fast. Upstream Energy benefits, while travel and transport names, where fuel is the main cost line, come under pressure. How the news and the prices relate is something you can check against the numbers above.
Homework: open the page for Liberty Copper (FCOP) and see whether today's move came in one stretch or in several.
A different word tomorrow. If a term stumps you, tell me through site feedback.
