US markets drop as budget deal hopes fade

22 Dec 2012 Evaluate
The US markets tumbled on Friday as the hopes of early budget deal faded, though they snapped the week with gains. The major indices came under pressure after House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, scrapped plans to hold a House vote on his “Plan B” legislation due to a lack of support among members of his own party, which could have extended the Bush-era tax cuts for people making up to $1 million, although Democrats claimed it would raise taxes on millions of working families by eliminating certain tax credits. However, there was some good news from the economy front, the Commerce Department said durable goods orders increased by 0.7 percent in November following a 1.1 percent increase in October.

In a separate report Commerce Department showed a much bigger than expected increase in personal income in November. Inflation-adjusted consumer spending rose 0.6 percent, while after-tax income climbed 0.8 percent when adjusting for changes in prices.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 120.88 points or 0.91 percent to 13,190.84, the Nasdaq lost 29.38 points or 0.96 percent to 3,021.01 and the S&P 500 closed lower by 13.54 points or 0.94 percent to 1,430.15.

Indian ADRs ended mostly in red on Friday, HDFC Bank was down by 0.40%, ICICI Bank 0.28%, Tata Motors was down by 0.44%, Wipro down by 0.09% and Dr Reddy’s lab was down by 0.55%.
