US markets closed higher snapping 5-day slump

29 Jul 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Tuesday, snapping a five-day losing streak in the main US indexes. Investors brushed off softer economic reports, while focusing on the two-day Federal Reserve meeting, which kicked off on Tuesday and concludes on Wednesday with a policy statement. The expectations for a September hike have faded recently, partly because of the market turmoil in China and a slide in oil prices. On the economy front, the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite showed that US house prices rose 1.1% in May, supported by the spring sales market. There were gains in all the cities tracked by the Case-Shiller 20-city composite index. Home prices in May were up 4.9% from a year earlier, slightly slower than annual growth of 5% seen in April. However, consumer confidence fell sharply in July to a 10-month low, perhaps because of a more volatile US stock market triggered by financial worries in China and the latest Greek debt crisis. The consumer confidence index dropped to 90.9 from 99.8 in June. The present situation index, a measure of current conditions, slid to 107.4 from 110.3. The future expectations index declined to 79.9 from 92.8, hitting the lowest level in almost a year and a half.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 189.68 points or 1.09 percent to 17,630.27, the Nasdaq was up 49.43 points or 0.98 percent to 5,089.21 while the S&P 500 gained 25.61 points or 1.24 percent to 2,093.25. 

The Indian ADRs ended mostly in green on Tuesday, HDFC Bank was up 0.40%, Infosys was up 0.19% and Tata Motors was up 0.13%. On the other hand, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.94% and ICICI Bank was down by 0.09%.
