US markets closed lower ahead of jobs report

07 Aug 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Thursday, in a volatile trading session as investors awaited the closely watched jobs report due Friday morning. After a strong report from the Institute for Supply Management showing nonmanufacturing job expansion at a 10-year high, investors are realizing that a Fed rate hike may very well come in September. On the economy front, the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits rose less than expected last week, suggesting labor market conditions continued to tighten. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 270,000 for the week ended August 1. Claims for the prior week were unrevised. It was the 22nd consecutive week that claims held below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with a strengthening labor market. The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, fell 6,500 to 268,250 last week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 120.72 points or 0.69 percent to 17,419.75, the Nasdaq dropped 83.51 points or 1.62 percent to 5,056.44 while, the S&P 500 was down by 16.28 points or 0.78 percent to 2,083.56. 

The Indian ADRs ended mostly in red on Thursday, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down by 0.93%, HDFC Bank was down 0.46%, Wipro was down 0.13% and ICICI Bank was down 0.09%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was up by 0.43%.
