US markets closed flat on Fed worries

25 May 2013 Evaluate

US markets extended their weakness on Friday and closed mostly lower for a third session in a row, as traders remained worried that the Federal Reserve may start withdrawing stimulus by curtailing bond purchases later this year. However, the economic data were encouraging as the US durable goods orders for April rose 3.3 percent after falling 5.9 percent in March. Excluding a rebound in orders for transportation equipment, durable goods orders rose by 1.3 percent in April compared to a 1.7 percent drop in March. The report suggested an impending recovery in manufacturing activity following a recent pullback, but on the same time the data added to worries that the Fed will taper its stimulus in the near future.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 8.6 points, or 0.06 percent, to close at 15,303.10. The Nasdaq slipped 0.27 points, or 0.01 percent, to end at 3,459.14, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.91 points, or 0.06 percent, to close at 1,649.60.

The Indian ADRs made a mixed closing on Friday, Wipro was down by 0.06%, Tata Motors was down by 0.77% and Infosys was down by 0.66%.

On the other hand HDFC Bank was up by 0.02%, ICICI Bank was up by 0.19% and Dr Reddy’s gained 0.20%.
