US markets end mostly lower on Thursday

27 Jul 2018 Evaluate

After the strong upward move seen in the last session, the US markets ended mostly lower on Thursday. Sentiments were down after sharp losses in technology shares as Facebook posted its biggest one-day drop ever following disappointing quarterly results. The company revealed lower-than-expected quarterly revenue, slowing user growth and weak guidance. It was the biggest one-day percentage drop, wiping out about $120 billion of market value in a single day, the largest in history. Due to the social-media giant’s size and weighting in equity indexes. However, losses remain capped as investors cheered Wednesday’s upbeat meeting between Trump and the European Commission’s president. The two leaders reached a trade agreement that has been called short on specifics, but still significant. Elsewhere, European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged and affirmed its plan to end its monthly bond-buying program in December, as had been expected.

On the economic front, the Labor Department’s report stated that first-time claims for unemployment benefits in the US showed a modest increase in the week ended July 21. The report said initial jobless claims rose to 217,000, an increase of 9,000 from the previous week’s revised level of 208,000. Street had expected jobless claims to rise to 215,000 from the 207,000 originally reported for the previous week. A separate report released by the Commerce Department showed a notable increase in new orders for US manufactured durable goods in the month of June. The Commerce Department said durable goods orders jumped by 1.0% in June after falling by a revised 0.3% in May. Street had expected durable goods orders to spike by 3.0%.

The S&P 500 declined 8.63 points or 0.30 percent to 2837.44 and the Nasdaq was down by 80.05 points or 1.01 percent to 7852.19, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 112.97 points or 0.44 percent to 25527.07.
