US markets closed higher on Greece bailout deal

21 Feb 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Friday; sending the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to record levels on news that euro zone ministers agreed to a four-month extension of Greece’s bailout. The anti-austerity Greek government sought an extension to its loan agreement after hours of meetings euro zone ministers reached an agreement. On the domestic economy front, the flash reading of the Markit manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) edged higher in February to 54.3 from 53.9 in January, to mark the highest reading since November. New orders slowed to the weakest rate in just over a year and there was near-stagnation of exports. The flash estimate is typically based on approximately 85-90% of total PMI survey responses each month, and any reading above 50 indicates improving conditions. The rate of growth however remains well down from last year’s peaks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 154.67 points or 0.86 percent to 18,140.44, the Nasdaq was up by 31.27 points or 0.63 percent to 4,955.97 while, the S&P 500 added 12.85 points or 0.61 percent to 2,110.30.

The Indian ADRs closed mixed on Friday; HDFC Bank was up by 0.85%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up by 0.51% and Tata Motors was up 0.34%. On the other hand, Infosys was down 0.28% and Wipro was down by 0.05%.
