US markets closed mostly lower; Nasdaq closes in green

09 Sep 2014 Evaluate

The US markets closed mostly lower on Monday, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropping, after a five-week rally which sent the gauge to a record. The Federal Reserve is preparing to hit the biggest US banks with a tougher version of a capital surcharge than agreed to by international regulators. Federal Governor Daniel Tarullo, the central bank’s point man on regulatory matters, stated in the testimony that by further increasing the amount of the most loss-absorbing form of capital that is required to be held by firms that potentially pose the greatest risk to financial stability, it intends to improve the resiliency of these firms. This measure might also create incentives for them to reduce their systemic footprint and risk profile.

On the economy front, US consumer credit growth increased sharply in July, continuing the strong growth trend seen since last December. Consumers increased their debt by a seasonally adjusted $26.0 billion in July, up from an $18.8 billion gain in the prior month. On a dollar amount, that’s a record gain, and on a percentage basis, it’s the highest since July 2011. The increase in July was well above the market consensus of a $17.0 billion gain. Monthly debt rose at a 9.7% annual rate in July, compared with a 7.1% rate in the prior month.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 25.94 points or 0.15 percent to 17,111.42, the S&P 500 ended lower by 6.17 points or 0.31 percent to 2,001.54, while Nasdaq was up by 9.39 points or 0.20 percent to 4,592.29. 

The Indian ADRs closed mixed on Monday; HDFC Bank was down 0.75%, ICICI Bank was down 0.39% and Wipro was down 0.06%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was up by 0.28% and Infosys was up 0.14%.
