US markets closed higher on Wednesday

20 Jul 2017 Evaluate

The US markets closed higher on Wednesday, with the Dow joining the S&P 500 and Nasdaq at records. Better-than-expected results from Morgan Stanley helped to reaffirm optimism about the current economy and earnings season - factors crucial to supporting current levels considered lofty. This was despite lingering uncertainty around the Trump administration’s ability to move forward with its fiscal agenda. The Atlanta Federal Reserve raised its second-quarter GDP estimate by one-tenth of a percentage point to a 2.5 percent annualized rate. The economy grew at a 1.4 percent pace in the first quarter.

On the economy front, builders broke ground on more homes in June, and figures from a prior month were revised up, allaying fears that the housing recovery had stumbled in the spring. Housing starts were at a 1.22 million seasonally adjusted annual rate, 8.3% higher than in May and 2.1% higher for the year. May’s data, originally reported as the lowest in eight months, was revised up to a 1.12 million annual pace. Builders also applied for more permits to construct homes, a good signal of increased activity ahead. Permits, at a pace of 1.25 million, rose 7.4% for the month and 5.1% for the year. Single-family starts were 6.3% higher than in May, a sign builders are prioritizing construction of homes to be purchased, rather than rented.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 66.02 points or 0.31 percent to 21,640.75, Nasdaq added 40.73 points or 0.64 percent to 6,385.04, while the S&P 500 edged higher by 13.22 points or 0.54 percent to 2,473.83.
