US markets closed higher; investors shrug off weak oil prices

22 Dec 2015 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Monday, as investors shrugged off weak oil prices. Advances in stocks come as oil prices continued to tumble and gas prices at the pump fell to below $2 for the first time since 2009. The main indexes gave up early gains after a harsh selloff in European markets and continued weakness in energy shares that were hit by falling oil futures. However, stocks rebounded in late trading, with telecoms and technology sectors leading gains. On the economy front, US economic growth in November remained below the historical trend rate for the second month in a row, according to update of the Chicago Fed National Activity Index. Revised data for the benchmark’s three-month moving average slipped to a negative 0.20 reading last month - down slightly from -0.18 in the previous month and the lowest since March. Although US economic activity decelerated in November, the current reading is still above the -0.70 tipping point that marks the start of recessions.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 123.07 points or 0.72 percent to 17,251.62, the Nasdaq was up 45.84 points or 0.93 percent to 4,968.92 and the S&P 500 added 15.60 points or 0.78 percent to 2,021.15.

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in green; HDFC Bank was up 1.19%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up by 1.14%, Infosys was up 0.21% and ICICI Bank was up by 0.17%. On the other hand, Tata Motors was down by 0.01%.
