US markets gain on encouraging economic data

23 Jul 2014 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Tuesday, boosted by better-than-expected inflation and housing reports as well as a flood of second-quarter earnings reports. On the economy front, consumer prices gained again in June but the rise was not as broad-based as in the prior month and was driven mainly by the rising cost for gasoline. The consumer price index increased 0.3% in June after a 0.4% gain in May. Core prices eased a bit. Over the past 12 months, the core rate rose 1.9%, down from 2% in the prior month. US house prices rose 0.4% in May, and April’s price move was revised to show 0.1% growth from a previously estimated no change. The FHFA house price index is based on mortgages bought or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Compared to May 2013, prices were up 5.5%, led by 9.6% growth in the Pacific region. Prices are 6.5% below the April 2007 peak. Besides, rising for a third consecutive month, sales of existing homes in June hit the fastest pace in eight months, signaling that the housing market’s recovery hasn’t petered out. The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing homes grew 2.6% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 61.81 points or 0.36 percent to 17,113.54, Nasdaq gained 31.32 points or 0.71 percent to 4,456.02, while the S&P 500 was up by 9.90 points or 0.50 percent at 1,983.53.

Indian ADRs closed in green on Tuesday; HDFC Bank was up 1.58%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 1.35%, ICICI Bank was up by 1.18%, Tata Motors was up 0.99% and Infosys was up 0.82%.
