US markets end significantly higher on Friday

29 Oct 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended significantly higher on Friday with the Dow reaching a two-month closing high. Positive reaction on quarterly earnings reports supported the rally on Wall Street. Traders reacted positively to earnings news, with semiconductor giant Intel (INTC) soaring despite lowering its full-year guidance. Intel reported third quarter results that beat street estimates. Shares of Apple (AAPL) also moved sharply higher after the tech giant reported better than expected fiscal fourth quarter earnings but forecast slower revenue growth in the current quarter. Energy giant Exxon Mobil (XOM) also moved to the upside after reporting record profits in the third quarter due to higher energy prices. However, shares of Amazon (AMZN) plunged by 9.7 percent. Amazon came under pressure after reporting mixed third quarter results and providing disappointing fourth quarter revenue guidance.

The Commerce Department’s inflation gauge, known as the personal consumption expenditures index, rose 5.1% in September, not including food and energy prices, against an expected 5.2% gain over the same month last year. For the month, core PCE rose 0.5%. That comes hand in hand with data on personal income and spending that showed consumers continued to spend at a rate that outpaced the rise in prices. Personal spending rose 0.6% for the month, faster than the price of the average shopping basket. The price index for personal consumer expenditures rose 0.3%. Personal income rose 0.4% in the month. The PCE reading could ease investor fears that the Federal Reserve will continue on its aggressive interest rate hike path. There are expectations that the Fed, which is expected to raise rates another 0.75 percentage point next week, could start to ease off that pace when it next meets in December.

Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 828.52 points or 2.59 percent to 32,861.80, Nasdaq rose 309.78 points or 2.87 percent to 11,102.45 and S&P 500 was up by 93.76 points 2.46 percent to 3,901.06.
