US markets closed mostly lower on Monday

18 Jul 2017 Evaluate

The US markets closed mostly lower on Monday, after a session of struggle to push higher, only to fall short of records, as investors looked toward key quarterly results that will be released this week to set the tone. On the economy front, a reading of New York-area manufacturing cooled in July from a two-year high. The New York Fed’s Empire State manufacturing index fell to a seasonally adjusted reading of 9.8 from 19.8 in June. Readings in July for new orders, shipments, inventories, delivery times and number of employees all decelerated. That said, the Empire State index has been positive for six out of seven months in 2017. Manufacturing of late has showed some tentative signs of strength, helped by a recovery in the oil sector as prices have stabilized. Industrial production rose for the fifth month in June. The New York Federal Reserve said that the number of US consumers who needed credit in the past year but were too discouraged to apply for it fell in June to its lowest since at least 2013, though the number of overall consumers that were rejected for loans increased. The share of too discouraged credit applicants fell to 5.1 percent in June, down from 7.1 percent at the Fed’s last survey in February and the lowest level since the New York Fed began its Consumer Expectations Credit Access Survey in October 2013.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 8.02 points or 0.04 percent to 21,629.72, the S&P 500 edged lower by 0.13 points or 0.01 percent to 2,459.14, while Nasdaq added 1.96 points or 0.03 percent to 6,314.43.
