US markets end higher on Friday

04 Nov 2024 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Friday with Nasdaq settling gain of over 140 points. The rebound on markets partly reflected a positive reaction to upbeat earnings news from big-name companies like Intel (INTC) and Amazon (AMZN). Shares of Amazon also spiked by 6.2 percent after the online retail giant reported third quarter results that exceeded street estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Traders were digesting the Labor Department's closely watched report, which showed much weaker than expected job growth in the month of October. The Labor Department said non-farm payroll employment crept up by 12,000 jobs in October after jumping by a downwardly revised 223,000 jobs in September.

Street had expected employment to climb by 113,000 jobs compared to the surge of 254,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month. Meanwhile, the report said the unemployment rate came in at 4.1 percent in October, unchanged from September and in line with street estimates. On the sectoral front, Retail stocks moved sharply higher on the heels of the upbeat results from Amazon, driving the Dow Jones U.S. Retail Index up by 2.6 percent to a record closing high. Considerable strength was also visible among biotechnology stocks, as reflected by the 2.2 percent jump by the NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 288.73 points or 0.69 percent to 42,052.19, Nasdaq gained 144.77 points or 0.8 percent to 18,239.92 and S&P 500 was up by 23.35 points or 0.41 percent to 5,728.8.
