US markets closed lower for fourth straight session

27 Mar 2015 Evaluate

The US market closed lower on Thursday, declining for the fourth consecutive session, with the benchmark S&P 500 turning negative for the year and recording its longest losing streak since January. Investors remained nervous amid concerns over poor earnings prospects and worries that the Federal Reserve is moving closer to a rate hike. Military strikes in Yemen had also sent investors scrambling for cover, pushing up prices of perceived havens such as gold and the yen. On the economy front, the number of people who applied for US unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to 282,000 in the seven days from March 15 to March 21, indicating that companies are holding onto their workers despite what appears to be a marked slowdown in first-quarter growth. The average of new claims over the past month, meanwhile, dipped below the key 300,000 threshold for the first time since late February. The four-week average dropped by 7,750 and stood at 297,000. The continuing claims also decreased by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2.42 million in the week ended March 14. Continuing claims reflect the number of people already receiving benefits.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 40.31 points or 0.23 percent to 17,678.23, Nasdaq was down by 13.16 points or 0.27 percent to 4,863.36 while, S&P 500 was lower by 4.90 points or 0.24 percent to 2,056.15. 

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in red on Thursday; Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 1.20%, Tata Motors was down 0.81% and Wipro was down by 0.31%. On the other hand, HDFC Bank was up 0.39% and ICICI Bank was up by 0.15%.
