US markets end mostly higher on Friday

11 Feb 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended mostly higher on Friday. The choppy trading on markets partly reflected lingering uncertainty about the outlook for interest rates ahead of next week's closely watched inflation data. Traders were likely to keep a close eye on the data for clues about whether Federal Reserve will need to raise rates higher than currently anticipated in order to bring down prices. The mixed performance also came as traders react to mixed February consumer sentiment data released by the University of Michigan. While consumer sentiment saw a continued improvement in February, the report also showed a rebound in near-term inflation expectations. The report showed the consumer sentiment index rose to 66.4 in February from 64.9 in January. Street had expected the index to inch up to 65.0.

The consumer sentiment index increased for the third straight month, reaching its highest level since hitting 67.2 in January 2022. Meanwhile, one-year inflation expectations climbed to 4.2 percent in February from 3.9 percent in January, with expectations rebounding after falling for three straight months. The lackluster performance on markets also reflected a mixed reaction to the latest batch of corporate earnings news. Shares of Lyft (LYFT) plummeted after the ride-sharing company reported an unexpected fourth quarter loss and provided disappointing revenue guidance for the current quarter. Travel company Expedia (EXPE) also moved sharply lower after reporting fourth quarter results that missed analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines.

Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 169.39 points or 0.5 percent to 33,869.27 and S&P 500 was up by 8.96 points or 0.22 percent to 4,090.46, while Nasdaq dropped 71.46 points or 0.61 percent to 11,718.12.
