US markets closed lower for second-straight day

09 Dec 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Tuesday, for a second-straight day with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting back-to-back declines of at least 100 points, as stocks were dogged by a rout in crude-oil prices. All three of the main stock-market indexes have closed lower in four out of the past five sessions. On the economy front, the job market continues to improve, even if some of the gains are less obvious than in past months. There were fewer job openings in October but the details of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, also known as JOLTS, were much brighter. Job openings declined 2.7% in October, to 5.38 million. The number of openings hit an all-time high of 5.67 million in July. While that sounds good, it also highlighted some of the challenges facing the labor market. The small-business sentiment index from the National Federation of Independent Business has reflected some of those shifts. NFIB’s November index showed a jump in compensation plans, an uptick in actual compensation changes, and a steady state for hiring plans. The NFIB small business index for November dropped by 1.3 points and stood 94.8 after three stagnant months.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 162.51 points or 0.92 percent to 17,568.00, the Nasdaq was down 3.57 points or 0.07 percent to 5,098.24 and the S&P 500 dropped 13.48 points or 0.65 percent to 2,063.59.

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in red; Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down by 2.98%, HDFC Bank was down by 0.87%, Infosys was down 0.39% and Wipro was down by 0.17%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was up 0.51%.
