US markets close higher on optimism over corporate earnings

21 Oct 2014 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Monday, with equity investors beginning the week on positive note, as optimism over corporate earnings spurred a rebound from last week’s selloff. That’s two straight positive trading days for the Dow industrials and three for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. Monday’s positive movement in the Dow industrial comes even as one of its major components, IBM, posted disappointing quarterly results, pushing shares of the tech giant lower and dragging down the broader index. However, Apple Inc. stated that its quarterly profit rose 13% as strong demand for its new larger-screen iPhones helped to overcome sluggish iPad sales. Meanwhile, Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher stated that he will support ending the central bank’s bond-buying program on schedule next week. Fisher added that he was not troubled by last week’s market volatility and did not think inflation was trending lower. Fisher had previously stated that he expected the Fed to start to raise rates in the spring of 2015, but on Monday he declined to repeat that view, saying that the decision to raise rates should be based on developments in economic data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average added 19.26 points or 0.12 percent to 16,399.67, Nasdaq was up by 57.63 points or 1.35 percent to 4,316.07, while S&P 500 ended higher by 17.25 points or 0.91 percent to 1,904.01. 

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in green on Monday; Tata Motors was up 1.89%, HDFC Bank was up by 0.84%, ICICI Bank was up 0.83% and Infosys was up 0.21%. On the other hand, Wipro was down by 0.04%.
