US markets end higher on Tuesday

02 Sep 2020 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Tuesday, with Nasdaq and S&P 500 closing at record highs as big tech and working-from-home shares drive gains. Sentiments got boosted as upbeat economic reports and dovish tones from the Fed helped feed the buying momentum on markets. Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said the central bank should pivot to provide more support for US economic growth, presumably meaning the Fed could purchase more assets, such as US Treasury or privately issued debt. Meanwhile, Manufacturing activity in the US expanded at a faster rate in the month of August, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed in a report. The ISM said its purchasing managers index rose to 56.0 in August from 54.2 in July, with a reading above 50 indicating growth in manufacturing activity. Street had expected the index to inch up to 54.5.

Besides, construction spending in the US saw a modest increase in the month of July, according to a report released by the Commerce Department. The report said construction spending inched up by 0.1 percent to an annual rate of $1.365 trillion in July after falling by 0.5 percent to a revised rate of $1.363 trillion in June. Street had expected construction spending to jump by 1.0 percent compared to the 0.7 percent drop originally reported for the previous month. The uptick in construction spending came as spending on private construction climbed 0.6 percent to an annual rate of $1.014 trillion. Spending on residential construction spiked 2.1 percent to a rate of $546.6 billion, while spending on non-residential construction slumped by 1.0 percent to a rate of $466.9 billion.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 215.61 points or 0.76 percent to 28,645.66, Nasdaq gained 164.21 points or 1.39 percent 11,939.67 and S&P 500 was up by 26.34 points or 0.75 percent to 3,526.65.
