US markets end mostly higher on Friday

25 Nov 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended mostly higher on Friday with Dow Jones Industrial Average settling over 100 points. However, many traders remained away from their desks following Thursday's holiday, with the markets closing three hours earlier than usual. A lack of major U.S. economic data also kept some traders on the sidelines ahead of next week's reports on new home sales, consumer confidence, pending home sales, manufacturing activity and more. The Commerce Department's report on personal income and spending may be in the spotlight next week, as it includes readings on inflation said to be preferred by the Federal Reserve. The Beige Book, a compilation of anecdotal evidence on economic conditions in each of the twelve Fed districts, may also attract attention next week along with remarks by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Traders were looking for additional clues about the outlook for interest rates, with optimism the Fed is done raising rates contributing to recent strength on Wall Street. On the sectoral front, most of the major sectors finished the day showing only modest moves, contributing to the lackluster close by the broader markets. Airline stocks showed a significant move to the upside, however, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index climbing by 1.3 percent. Notable strength was also visible among tobacco stocks, as reflected by the 1.2 percent gain posted by the NYSE Arca Tobacco Index. Pharmaceutical and networking stocks also saw some strength on the day, while computer hardware stocks moved to the downside.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 117.12 points or 0.33 percent to 35,390.15 and S&P 500 was up by 2.72 points or 0.06 percent to 4,559.34, while Nasdaq dropped 15 points or 0.11 percent to 14,250.85.
