US markets jump on good economic and earnings report

17 Oct 2012 Evaluate

The US markets jumped the most in a month on Tuesday, amid better-than-expected US earnings and industrial production, along with reports that Spain is mulling a request for a line of credit from the European Union. The US data showed a 0.6% rise in September consumer prices and a 0.4% rebound in industrial output. Americans paid sharply higher prices for goods and services in September, mainly because of the elevated cost of gas. The consumer price index jumped 0.6% in September for the second month in a row. That’s the biggest back-to-back increase in more than four years in September, partially reversing the prior month’s slump and indicating manufacturers are regaining their footing. Besides, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard stated that, growth in the US economy will probably pick up to 3.5% next year, reducing the unemployment rate to near 7%. Meanwhile, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing index edged up 1 point to 41, putting the gauge at its highest level since June 2006.

In Europe, Spain is considering requesting a credit line from the EU’s new bailout facility. There has been widespread market speculation in recent weeks that Spain was close to asking for aid from its euro-zone partners. Also, a gauge of German investor sentiment rose more than expected in October, with the Center for European Economic Research, or ZEW, expectations index, rising to minus 11.5 points from a September reading of minus 18.2.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 127.55 points, or 0.95 percent, to close at 13,551.80, the S&P 500 finished up by 14.79 points, or 1.03 percent at 1454.92, while the Nasdaq ended higher by 36.99 points, or 1.21 percent to settle at 3101.17.

Indian ADRs closed on a mixed note on Tuesday, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was up 0.25%, Tata Motors was up by 0.13% and Wipro was up by 0.04%. On the other hand, HDFC Bank was down 0.22% and Tata Communications was down 0.10%.
