US markets closed higher; S&P posts largest weekly gain

21 Nov 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Friday, with the S&P 500 index recording its best weekly gain in nearly a year after a series of strong earnings, particularly from retailers, helped boost the stock-market. Comments from a number of Federal Reserve officials, along with minutes from the US central bank’s October policy-setting confab, suggested that the path of interest-rate increases is likely to be gradual, which helped soothe some investors’ fears that the first hike in nearly a decade would shake the market. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard stated that inflation will likely return to the US central bank’s 2% annual target. Low inflation has been a sticking point for some Fed officials who don’t want the Fed to raise interest rates until it convincingly moves higher. Bullard added that if oil stabilizes at the current level and all other prices continue to increase as they have during 2015 so far, the headline consumer price index would be more than 2% at the end of 2016. The St. Louis Fed president, who will be a voting member of the Fed’s policy committee, has been a strong advocate for an interest rate hike in December.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 91.06 points or 0.51 percent to 17,823.81, Nasdaq was up 31.28 points or 0.62 percent 5,104.92, while the S&P 500 gained 7.93 points or 0.38 percent to 2,089.17.  

Indian ADRs ended mixed, HDFC Bank was up 0.72%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up by 0.30% and ICICI Bank was up 0.01%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was down by 0.24% and Infosys was down 0.08%.
