22 Aug 2014 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Thursday despite a lackluster trade and some good economic data. However, the gains extended the recent upward trend by the markets, lifting the S&P 500 to a new record closing high. Traders also seemed to be expressing some optimism about Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's speech at the Kansas City Fed's economic policy symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There was batch of upbeat economic data, including a report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showing that existing home sales unexpectedly rose to a ten-month high in July. NAR said existing home sales climbed to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.15 million in July from a downwardly revised 5.03 million in June. On the same time, the Labor Department reported a slightly bigger than expected drop in initial jobless claims in the week ended August 16th. The jobless claims dropped to 298,000, a decrease of 14,000 from the previous week's revised level of 312,000.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 60.36 points or 0.4 percent to 17,039.49, the Nasdaq edged up 5.62 points or 0.1 percent to 4,532.10 and the S&P 500 ended higher by 5.86 points or 0.3 percent to 1,992.37.
