US markets closed lower for third straight session

09 Jun 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Monday, with the tech stocks leading the market lower. The slump in the main stock-market indexes marked the third consecutive session, with the Dow industrials erasing year-to-date gains. The big data this week comes in the form of Thursday’s retail sales, which, if they meet forecasts, could confirm the solid economic growth tipped by last week’s jobs data. The Federal Reserve may draw comfort from retail sales figures if, as forecast, the data confirm the solid economic growth that the May jobs report suggested. On the economy front, the Fed’s 19-component Labor Market Conditions Index, or LMCI, rose 1.3 points in May after 2 months of posting negative numbers. The declines in March and April were also upwardly revised, to -1 from -1.8 initially and -0.5 from -1.9 respectively. The May gains also increased the cumulative increase in the index in the current expansion cycle to 322, up from 315 points in April. The index reinforces the overall positive outlook for many forecasters. Fed Chair Janet Yellen has referenced the LMCI as a sign of the job market stability before, so improvement in this measure indicates that the Fed will be more emboldened to raise rates sooner than later.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 82.91 points or 0.46 percent to 17,766.55, Nasdaq was down by 46.83 points or 0.92 percent to 5,021.63 while, S&P 500 was lower by 13.55 points or 0.65 percent to 2,079.28.

The Indian ADRs closed in red on Monday; HDFC Bank was down 0.82%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.80%, Tata Motors was down by 0.33%, Infosys was down by 0.29% and ICICI Bank was down by 0.19%.
