US markets end higher on Friday

30 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The US markets ended slightly higher for second straight day on Friday, as markets surrendered most of an early gain as worries about rising tariffs once again dampened investors’ enthusiasm as the second quarter came to an end. However, some support came with the Federal Reserve allowing 32 of the 35 largest banks in the US to raise their quarterly dividends and buy back more stock. The central bank determined that those institutions are in good enough financial shape to weather a major downturn in the economy. Meanwhile, after nine hours of talks, European Union leaders reached a deal over the crisis of migration in the early hours of Friday, taking pressure off German Chancellor Angela Merkel who had been pushing hard for an agreement.

On the economic front, the personal-consumption expenditures index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 0.2% as did the core rate that strips out food and energy. The rate of inflation over the past 12 months rose to 2.3%, the fastest pace since March 2012. Besides, Chicago PMI climbed to a reading of 64.1 in June, up from 62.7, the fastest reading since January and the highest level in six month. Any reading above 50 indicates improving conditions. Further, the final University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for June came in at 98.2, slightly below forecasts.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 55.36 points or 0.23 percent to 24,271.41, the S&P 500 rose 2.06 points or 0.08 percent to 2,718.37 and the Nasdaq was up by 6.62 points or 0.09 percent to 7,510.30.
