US markets end higher on Monday

26 Apr 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Monday as technology names like Microsoft rallied amid falling interest rates. Concerns about a global economic slowdown amid Covid outbreaks in China sent interest rates lower. The 10-year Treasury yield pulled back to the 2.8% level. Tech shares rebounded as rates fell, providing support to the major averages. Microsoft rose 2.4%, the second-biggest gainer on the Dow. Google-parent Alphabet also gained nearly 2.9%, and Facebook-parent Meta added about 1.6% ahead of quarterly earnings reports slated for later this week. Twitter jumped roughly 5.7% after the social media company announced it accepted billionaire Elon Musk’s buyout deal valued at about $44 billion.

However, upside remained capped as trading activity remained somewhat subdued with a lack of major US economic data likely to keep some traders on the sidelines. On the sectoral indices, housing stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading session, driving the Philadelphia Housing Sector Index up by 2.3 percent. Significant strength also emerged among semiconductor stocks, as reflected by the 1.8 percent gain posted by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Networking, pharmaceutical and computer hardware stocks also turned in strong performances on the day, while energy stocks moved sharply lower along with the price of crude oil.

Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 238.06 points or 0.7 percent to 34,049.46, Nasdaq gained 165.56 points or 1.29 percent to 13,004.85 and S&P 500 was up by 24.34 points or 0.57 percent to 4,296.12.
