US market halts five-session winning streak

20 Sep 2011 Evaluate

The US market closed lower on Monday, snapping a five-session winning streak after a choppy session that was again dominated by news related to Greece’s debt worries and on S&P’s downgrade of Italy’s credit rating which reinforced concern about Europe’s spreading debt crisis.Meanwhile, President Barack Obama’s $3.6 trillion deficit reduction plan, which the White House stated would allow the country to start reducing its debt level by 2017, provided little support as the Republicans’ reacted coolly to the proposals. The Republican response suggested there will be further bickering in Washington and very little is going to get done.

The market was nervous as fears that Greece was heading toward a default drowned the optimism that underscored strong market gains last week. Also, ratings agency Standard & Poor's has cut its unsolicited long- and short-term sovereign credit ratings by one notch on the Republic of Italy to A/A-1 from A+/A-1+, with a negative outlook on concern that weakening economic growth and a fragile government mean the nation won’t be able to reduce the euro-region’s second-largest debt burden. However, the market did trim the losses after late-day on reports that international lenders were close to an agreement to ensure Athens received the next tranche of its financial aid.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 108.08 points, or 0.94 percent, to 11,401.00. The Standard and Poor's 500 closed lower by 11.92 points, or 0.98 percent, to 1,204.09, while the Nasdaq composite lost 9.48 points, or 0.36 percent, to 2,612.83.

The Indian ADRs closed in red on Monday, Infosys Technologies was down by 1.20%, ICICI Bank was down by 0.88%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down by 0.70%, HDFC Bank was down by 0.44% and Tata Motors was down by 0.35%.
