US markets closed lower; S&P, Dow marks sharpest losses in two weeks

26 Mar 2015 Evaluate

The US market closed lower on Tuesday, with Nasdaq Composite suffering its steepest decline since April 2014, as investors’ dumped technology and biotech shares. The carnage on the Street marks the third consecutive losing session, with the S&P 500 and Dow industrials recording the sharpest losses in two weeks. On the economy front, businesses are hiring at the fastest pace in 15 years, but they sure aren’t investing like good times are here to stay. Orders for long-lasting or durable goods such as cars, appliances and computers fell 1.4% in February to mark the third decline in four months. The increase in orders for January was lowered, making the decline last month look even worse. The trend is even worse if the volatile transportation sector is stripped out, with such orders down five straight months. The revised increase in orders for January, meanwhile, was chopped to 2% from a previously reported 2.8% increase.

Meanwhile, Fed vice-chair Stanley Fischer stated that the Federal Reserve is widely expected to begin raising interest rates this year though the policy path remains uncertain, appearing to lay the groundwork for a less predictable future. Fischer added that the stronger dollar and weak oil play a role in US policymaking, but he stressed that the central bank is trying to look through those phenomena.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 292.60 points or 1.62 percent to 17,718.54, Nasdaq was down by 118.21 points or 2.37 percent to 4,876.52 while, S&P 500 was lower by 30.45 points or 1.46 percent to 2,061.05.
