US markets closed mostly higher; Dow registers minor losses

09 Feb 2017 Evaluate

The US markets closed mostly higher on Wednesday, but weak financial stocks dragged the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower in a session where the major indexes mostly hugged the flat line. Financial stocks were pressured by falling yields, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury note’s yield earlier touched three-week low. Low yields tend to hurt banks’ business models. Major US stock indexes are hovering around record highs after a rally following the November 8 election of President Donald Trump amid expectations he will usher in fiscal stimulus and lower regulations and taxes. But the rally has stagnated in recent days as investors await more details about Trump’s potential economic policy agenda. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will testify on the US economy and monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee on February 15. The hearing on the Fed’s semiannual monetary policy report will begin at 10 a.m. It will be Yellen’s second day of testimony on the report; she is scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee on February 14.

The Nasdaq was up 8.23 points or 0.15 percent to 5,682.45, S&P 500 gained 1.59 points or 0.07 percent to 2,294.67, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 35.95 points or 0.18 percent to 20,054.34. 

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in green; Tata Motors was up 0.51%, HDFC Bank was up 0.10% and Infosys was up 0.04%. On the other hand, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.28% and ICICI Bank was down 0.08%.
