US markets end higher on Tuesday

12 Jan 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Tuesday, with tech-related shares extending a bounce from the previous session, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified before a Senate Banking Committee hearing on his nomination for another term. In prepared remarks, Powell highlighted elevated inflation as a result of supply chain issues and said the Fed would use all of its tools to prevent higher inflation from becoming entrenched. Powell said ‘We can begin to see that the post-pandemic economy is likely to be different in some respects. The pursuit of our goals will need to take these differences into account.’ He added to that end, monetary policy must take a broad and forward-looking view, keeping pace with an ever-evolving economy.

On the sectoral front, energy stocks moved sharply higher on the day, benefiting from a substantial increase by the price of crude oil. Crude for February delivery spiked $2.99 to $81.22 a barrel. Reflecting the rally by energy stocks, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index soared by 4.3 percent and the NYSE Arca Oil Index shot up by 3.5 percent. Significant strength also emerged among gold stocks, as reflected by the 2.1 percent jump by the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index. The strength in the gold sector came amid a notable increase by the price of the precious metal, with gold for February delivery surging $19.70 to $1,818.50 an ounce. Housing, airline, and semiconductor stocks also saw considerable strength on the day, while interest rate-sensitive utilities stocks moved to the downside.

Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 183.15 points or 0.51 percent to 36,252.02, Nasdaq surged 210.62 points or 1.41 percent to 15,153.45 and S&P 500 was up by 42.78 points or 0.92 percent to 4,713.07.
