US markets end higher on Monday

26 Sep 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Monday. The higher close on markets partly reflected bargain hunting, with traders picking up stocks at reduced levels following the steep drop seen last week. The turnarounds by the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 came after they ended last Friday's trading at their lower closing levels in well over three months. However, buying interest remained somewhat subdued as ongoing concerns about the outlook for interest rates continued to hang over the markets following last week's Federal Reserve meeting. The Fed left interest rates unchanged as widely expected but forecast another rate hike before the end of the year as well as keeping rates at elevated levels for longer than previously anticipated.

Later in the week, the Commerce Department is due to release its report on personal income and spending in the month of August, which includes readings on inflation said to be preferred by the Fed. On the sectoral front, Energy stocks turned in a strong performance despite a modest decrease by the price of crude oil. While crude for November delivery fell $0.35 to $89.68, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index advanced by 1.7 percent and the NYSE Arca Oil Index climbed by 1.3 percent. Natural gas, retail and transportation stocks also moved to the upside, while airline and gold stocks showed notable moves to the downside. While the NYSE Arca Airline Index slid 1.2 percent to its lowest closing level in six months, the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index dropped by 1.0 percent amid a modest decrease by the price of gold.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 43.04 points or 0.13 percent to 34,006.88, Nasdaq gained 59.51 points or 0.45 percent to 13,271.32 and S&P 500 was up by 17.38 points or 0.4 percent to 4,337.44.
