US markets settle higher on Tuesday

12 Jul 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Tuesday helped by optimism ahead of key inflation reports and as JPMorgan and other financial shares gained before earnings later this week. Consumer prices are expected to increase by 0.3 percent in June after inching up by 0.1 percent in May, while core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy prices, are expected to rise by 0.3 percent in June after climbing by 0.4 percent in May. The annual rate of growth by consumer prices is expected to slow to 3.1 percent June from 4.0 percent in May and the annual rate of core consumer price growth is expected to slip to 5.0 percent in June from 5.3 percent in May. The consumer price data is likely to have a significant impact on the outlook for interest rates ahead of the next Federal Reserve meeting later this month.

Ahead of the inflation data, CME Group's FedWatch Tool is indicating a 92.4 percent chance of another quarter point rate hike at the next Fed meeting later this month. On the sectoral front, Energy stocks saw substantial strength on the day, benefiting from a sharp increase by the price of crude oil. With crude for August delivery surging $1.84 to $74.83 a barrel, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index spiked by 3.2 percent and the NYSE Arca Oil Index jumped by 2.2 percent. Significant strength was also visible among financial stocks, with the KBW Bank Index and the NYSE Arca Broker/Dealer Index both climbing by 1.7 percent. Tobacco, steel and natural gas stocks also saw considerable strength on the day, moving higher along with most of the other major sectors.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 317.02 points or 0.93 percent to 34,261.42, Nasdaq gained 75.22 points or 0.55 percent to 13,760.7 and S&P 500 was up by 29.73 points or 0.67 percent to 4,439.26.
