US markets end higher as investors cheer start to earnings season

16 Oct 2019 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Tuesday as investors cheered a raft of largely upbeat corporate earnings reports, while considering the implications of a partial US-China trade deal announced last Friday and the possibility of a breakthrough in Brexit negotiations. Financial giant JPMorgan Chase (JPM) helped lead the advance on markets after reporting third quarter results that exceeded street estimates on both the top and bottom lines. UnitedHealth (UNH) also reported better than expected third quarter results and raised its full-year guidance. On the economic front, the International Monetary Fund said global economy is set to expand at the slowest pace in a decade this year amid weak manufacturing momentum, and rising trade and geopolitical tensions. The global lender cut the growth forecast for this year to 3 percent from 3.3 percent projected in April, in its latest World Economic Outlook. The pace of growth this year will be the lowest since 2008-09 global financial crisis.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released a report unexpectedly showing a modest acceleration in the pace of growth in regional manufacturing activity in the month of October. The New York Fed said its headline general business conditions index edged up to 4.0 in October after dipping to 2.0 in September, with a positive reading indicating an increase in regional manufacturing activity. The modest uptick came as a surprise to participants, who had expected the general business conditions index to slip to 0.8. The unexpected increase by the headline index partly reflected a notable acceleration in the pace of growth in shipments, with the shipments index jumping to 13.0 in October from 5.8 in September.

Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 237.44 points or 0.89 percent to 27024.80, Nasdaq rose 100.06 points or 1.24 percent to 8148.71 and S&P 500 was up by 29.53 points or 1.00 percent to 2995.68.
