US markets end in red on profit booking

18 Nov 2020 Evaluate

The US markets ended in red on Tuesday on profit taking after the strength seen in the previous session lifted the Dow and the S&P 500 to new record closing highs. Further, sentiments were down on account of rising coronavirus cases. Data from John Hopkins University showed more than 166,000 news coronavirus cases on Monday, with the total number of cases in the US now exceeding 11 million. Negative sentiment was also generated in reaction to a report from the Commerce Department showing retail sales rose by less than expected in the month of October. The report said retail sales rose by 0.3 percent in October after jumping by a downwardly revised 1.6 percent in September. Street had expected retail sales to climb by 0.5 percent compared to the 1.9 percent spike originally reported for the previous month.

Excluding an increase in sales by motor vehicle and parts dealers, retail sales edged up by 0.2 percent in October after surging up by 1.2 percent in September. Ex-auto sales were expected to increase by 0.6 percent. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve released a separate report showing a significant rebound in US industrial production in the month of October. The Fed said industrial production jumped by 1.1 percent in October after falling by a revised 0.4 percent in September. Street had expected production to surge up by 1.0 percent compared to the 0.6 percent drop originally reported for the previous month.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 167.09 points or 0.56 percent to 29,783.35, Nasdaq dropped 24.79 points or 0.21 percent to 11,899.34 and S&P 500 was down by 17.38 points or 0.48 percent 3,609.53.
