US markets end lower on Tuesday

13 Apr 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended lower on Tuesday after an early morning bounce gave way to selling as investors weighed the latest US inflation data. Reflecting a spike in gasoline prices, the Labor Department released a report showing US consumer prices jumped in the month of March. The Labor Department said its consumer price index surged by 1.2 percent in March after climbing by 0.8 percent in February. The sharp increase in consumer prices matched street estimates. The jump in consumer prices came as gasoline prices skyrocketed by 18.3 percent, accounting for over half of the monthly increase. Food prices also shot up by 1.0 percent. The annual rate of consumer price growth accelerated to 8.5 percent in March from 7.9 percent in February, showing the fastest growth since December 1981.

Core consumer prices were up 6.5 percent year-over-year in March, reflecting an uptick from the 6.4 percent jump in February. The annual growth represents the biggest increase since August 1982. Meanwhile, investors are also awaiting the start of earnings season set to kick off Wednesday with JPMorgan and Delta Air Lines, followed by several big banks on Thursday. On the sectoral front, banking stocks moved notably lower amid a pullback by treasury yields, dragging the KBW Bank Index down by 1.4 percent. Significant weakness was also visible among pharmaceutical stocks, as reflected by the 1.2 percent drop by the NYSE Arca Pharmaceutical Index.

Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 87.72 points or 0.26 percent to 34,220.36, Nasdaq fell 40.38 points or 0.3 percent to 13,371.57 and S&P 500 was down by 15.08 points or 0.34 percent to 4,397.45.
