US market edge higher on better-than-expected ISM services data

06 Jun 2012 Evaluate

The US market closed higher on Tuesday, lifting the Dow Jones Industrial Average into its first closing gain in five sessions on better-than-expected data from the services sector, showing the biggest part of the US economy is withstanding the impact of the European debt crisis. The Institute for Supply Management’s index of non- manufacturing businesses, which covers about 90 percent of the economy, unexpectedly increased to 53.7 from 53.5% in April. Readings over 50% indicate more firms are expanding than contracting. Though, the US service sector grew slightly faster in May but companies scaled back their hiring plans, according to a survey.

In Europe, finance ministers and officials from the Group of Seven industrialized powers in a teleconference agreed to coordinate their response to Europe’s financial crisis. As the discussions took place, Spain’s prime minister urged Europe to support those that are in difficulty. The plea came after Spain’s finance minister warned that the country was in jeopardy of not being able to borrow money on the open market. The G-7 teleconference came ahead of a European Central Bank policy meeting set for Wednesday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 26.49 points, or 0.22 percent, to close at 12,128.00. The S&P 500 added 7.32 points, or 0.57 percent, to finish at 1,285.50, while the Nasdaq was up by 18.10 points, or 0.66 percent, to settle at 2,778.11.

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in green; Infosys Technologies was up 0.61%, ICICI Bank was up by 0.17%, Wipro was up 0.06% and Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 0.04%. On the flip side, Tata Motors was down 0.11%.
