US markets closed lower on mixed earnings

21 Oct 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Tuesday, as mixed quarterly earnings kept investors largely on the sidelines. Third-quarter earnings season entered its peak with 20 companies reporting their results. For the third-quarter reporting season so far, aggregate earnings for the S&P 500 stood at $28.62 per share, down 4.77% from a year earlier. In addition to the season’s mixed bag of corporate results, investors have yet to see whether China’s declining growth rate has been arrested, and a date for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates is still elusive. On the economy front, US housing starts rose to a nearly an eight-year high in September as builders ramped up construction of apartments. The Commerce Department report added the sense of a firming housing sector, helped by a healthy labor market. Construction of new homes increased 6.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.21 million units in September. After two months of declines, the gain in September brings as starts back to just below June’s level, which was an eight-year high, a sign that builders are growing more confident in the economy. Housing starts have now been above a one million-unit pace for six straight months.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 13.43 points or 0.08 percent to 17,217.11, Nasdaq was down 24.50 points or 0.50 percent 4,880.97, while the S&P 500 dropped 2.89 points or 0.14 percent to 2,030.77.

Indian ADRs ended mixed, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 2.64%, Tata Motors was down 0.27% and Wipro was down by 0.22%. On the other hand, Infosys was up 0.13% and HDFC Bank was up by 0.12%.
