US markets close higher; Nasdaq snaps 8-day losing streak

13 Jan 2016 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Tuesday with Nasdaq snapping its 8-day losing streak. The main indexes started the day higher but dipped into negative territory by the afternoon, when oil prices plunged to multiyear lows. On the economy front, job openings rose in November, and more people were hired. Labor’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed 5.43 million job openings, up from 5.34 million in October. That’s still shy of the all-time high notched earlier in the year, but moving in the right direction. Even better, hires rose to 5.2 million from 5.17 million, and more people - 2.83 million - quit. That’s a sign of worker confidence in their job prospects. A measure of small-business optimism showed an unusual split in December, as owners became more confident about sales at the same time they become more pessimistic about business conditions. The National Federation of Independent Business reported that its small-business optimism index edged up 0.4 points to a reading of 95.2. The readings have ranged between 94.1 and 98 in 2015. Unusually, however, the percentage of small-business owners who expect real sales to improve rose by 9 percentage points, while those who expect better business conditions in the next six months slumped by 7 percentage points, and those who think it’s a good time fell by 3 points.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 117.65 points or 0.72 percent to 16,516.22, the Nasdaq was up 47.93 points or 1.03 percent to 4,685.92 while, the S&P 500 gained 15.01 points or 0.78 percent to 1,938.68. 

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in green; Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 0.74%, HDFC Bank was up 0.43%, Wipro was up 0.41% and Tata Motors was up by 0.35%. On the other hand, ICICI Bank was down by 0.12%.
