US markets end significantly lower on Friday

27 Oct 2018 Evaluate

The US markets ended the Friday’s trade significantly lower with major indices losing around two percentage points amid a negative reaction to corporate results from some big-name companies after upbeat results from companies like Microsoft (MSFT) and Twitter (TWTR) contributed to the jump on Thursday. Traders paid no heed towards report from the Commerce Department showing stronger than expected U.S. economic growth in the third quarter. The Commerce Department said real gross domestic product advanced by 3.5 percent in the third quarter after surging up by 4.2 percent in the second quarter. Traders had expected GDP growth to slow to 3.3 percent. The slowdown in the pace of growth in the third quarter came after the jump in the second quarter represented the fastest growth since a 4.9 percent spike in the third quarter of 2014.

On the inflation front, the Commerce Department said its reading on core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy prices, showed price growth slowed to 1.6 percent in the third quarter from 2.1 percent in the second quarter. A separate report from the University of Michigan showed consumer sentiment deteriorated by slightly more than initially estimated in the month of October. The report said the consumer sentiment index for October was downwardly revised to 98.6 from the preliminary reading of 99.0. The street had expected the consumer sentiment index to be unrevised at 99.0, which was still down from 100.1 in September.

Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 296.24 points or 1.19 percent to 24688.31, Nasdaq tumbled 151.12 points or 2.07 percent to 7167.21 and S&P 500 was down by 46.88 points or 1.76 percent to 2658.69.
