US markets end higher on rebound in crude

21 Apr 2016 Evaluate

The US markets despite coming off their days high managed a positive close on Wednesday and the Dow and the S&P 500 reached new multi-month closing highs, mainly on substantial rebound in the crude oil prices. Although, Moscow denied reports of a meeting of major oil producers in Russia next month, but there was speculation regarding another effort to freeze production that contributed to the crude price rise and boosted the equities. On economy front, US mortgage applications rose to their highest in about two months as interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages remained low. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported that its weekly mortgage market index rose to 526.80 in the period ending April 15, up 1.3 percent, while refinancing was up 3 percent.

In other development, existing home sales in the US saw a significant rebound in March. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that existing home sales jumped 5.1 percent to an annual rate of 5.33 million in March after tumbling 7.3 percent to a revised 5.07 million in February. NAR said existing home sales rose in all four regions of the country last month and are up by 1.5 percent compared to the same month a year ago. NAR also said there were 1.98 million existing homes available for sale at the end of March, reflecting a 5.9 percent increase from 1.87 million at the end of February.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 42.67 points or 0.24 percent to 18,096.27, the S&P 500 was up by 1.60 points or 0.08 percent to 2,102.40, while the Nasdaq was up 7.80 points or 0.16 percent to 4,948.13.  

The Indian ADRs ended mostly in red on Wednesday, HDFC Bank was down by 0.03%, Infy was down by 0.01%, Dr Reddy’s was down by 0.62% and Wipro was down by 0.01%.
