US markets edged higher for second straight day

09 Nov 2011 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher for second day on Tuesday, as Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s offered to resign that boosted optimism that Italy will appoint a new leader who can tame the debt crisis. The trade remained volatile in first part of the session but finally all the major indices gained for the day and the Dow was back over 12,000, and at its highest close since October 28. Berlusconi offered to step down as soon as Italy’s Parliament approves austerity measures in a vote expected to occur next week. Italy’s surging borrowing costs have added to investor concerns about Europe, where the chance of a messy default in Greece recently sent shockwaves through markets.

The Italy government is yet to present the final text of the amendment to the budget law with the austerity measures. Berlusconi’s resignation came after he failed to muster an absolute majority on a routine parliamentary ballot, obtaining only 308 votes in the 630-seat Chamber of Deputies. The market sentiment was also positive as the European Central Bank’s Juergen Stark stated that the region’s debt crisis will be under control in two years.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 101.79 points, or 0.84 percent, to 12,170.20. The Standard and Poor’s 500 closed higher by 14.80 points, or 1.17 percent, to 1,275.92, while the Nasdaq composite gained 32.24 points, or 1.20 percent, to 2,727.49.

The Indian ADRs closed mixed on Tuesday, ICICI Bank was up by 0.52%, HDFC Bank was up by 0.46%, Infosys Technologies was up by 0.44% and Tata Motors was up by 0.28%. On the flip side, MTNL was down by 0.02%.
