US markets close lower; Dow, S&P retreats from record high

08 Jul 2014 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Monday, giving up some of last week’s gains that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 17,000 for the first time. Investors took a step back to reassess Thursday’s stronger-than-expected jobs report while awaiting second-quarter earnings that start trickling in this week. IMF chief Christine Lagarde warned that global economic activity should strengthen in the second half of the year and accelerate in 2015, although momentum could be weaker than expected, hinting at a slight cut in the Fund’s growth forecasts. Lagarde added that central banks’ accommodative policies may have only limited impact on demand and that countries should boost growth by investing in infrastructure, education and health, provided their debt stays sustainable. The IMF’s update of its global economic outlook, expected later this month, will be very slightly different from the forecasts published in April. In April, the IMF had forecast that global output would grow by 3.6% in 2014 and 3.9% in 2015.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 44.05 points or 0.26 percent to 17,024.21, the Nasdaq was down 34.40 points or 0.77 percent to 4,451.53, while the S&P 500 dropped by 7.79 points or 0.39 percent at 1,977.65.

Indian ADRs closed mixed on Monday; HDFC Bank was down 1.17%, ICICI Bank was down 1.02% and Tata Motors was down 0.19%. On the other hand, Infosys was up by 1.85% and Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 0.41%.
