US markets end higher on Wednesday

09 Jul 2020 Evaluate

The US markets settled higher on Wednesday with tech shares leading gains. The Nasdaq continued to benefit from strong gains by tech giants like Apple, which surged up by 2.3 percent after Deutsche Bank raised its price target on the company's stock to $400 per share from $380 per share. Notable gains by Amazon, Netflix and Facebook also helped lift the tech-heavy index to a new record closing high. Shares of National General Holdings also soared after the insurance company agreed to be acquired by Allstate for approximately $4 billion or $34.50 per share in cash.  However, upside remained capped amid persistent concern that the coronavirus outbreak could stall an economic recovery and as US-China tensions ramped up. The US crossed more than 3 million confirmed cases on Tuesday, and set a single-day record of more than 60,000.

On the economic data front, after reporting a sharp drop in US consumer credit in the previous month, the Federal Reserve released a report showing consumer credit continued to decline in the month of May. The Fed consumer credit slumped by $18.2 billion in May after plunging by a revised $70.2 billion in April. Street had expected credit to decrease by $15.5 billion compared to the $68.7 billion nosedive originally reported for the previous month. The continued decrease in consumer credit came as another sharp drop in revolving credit more than offset a rebound in non-revolving credit.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 177.1 points or 0.68 percent to 26,067.28, Nasdaq gained 148.61 points or 1.44 percent 10,492.5 and S&P 500 was up by 24.62 points or 0.78 percent to 3,169.94.
