US markets ended higher as tensions ease on Ukraine

09 Aug 2014 Evaluate

The US markets went for a rally on Friday as signs that tensions are easing in Ukraine outweighed concern over crises in the Middle East. Sentiments remained up-beat on optimism about a potential de-escalation of the crisis in eastern Ukraine following comments from Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Russian Security Council. Patrushev told Russian news agency RIA Novosti that Russia is ready to mediate talks between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists. He added, “As for mediation, of course, we are ready to assist in the process of the discussion and we have said so on numerous occasions”.

Additional buying interest was seen following a report from Interfax indicating that Russia has halted its military exercises near the Ukrainian border. The upbeat news out of Russia helped offset concerns generated by news that President Barack Obama authorized U.S. airstrikes against Islamic militants in northern Iraq. Meanwhile, traders largely shrugged off a report from Labor Department showing that labor productivity increased by more than anticipated in the second quarter.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 185.66 points or 1.13 percent to 16,553.93, Nasdaq was jumped by 35.93 points or 0.83 percent to 4,370.90, while the S&P 500 was up by by 22.02 points or 1.15 percent at 1,931.59. 

Indian ADRs closed mixed on Friday; Infosys was up 0.72%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 0.42% and ICICI Bank was up 0.22%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was down by 0.41% and HDFC Bank was down 0.41%.
