US markets end modestly higher on mixed economic report

13 Jul 2013 Evaluate

The US markets made a modestly positive closing on Friday with the Dow and S&P 500 posting their second-best weekly gains this year. All the major indices have shown sharp rally during the week but Friday’s trade remained lack luster on getting mixed economic reports. Labor Department said that producer prices gained 0.8 percent in June. Core producer prices, which exclude volatile energy and food costs, edged up 0.2 percent. While, Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers' preliminary July consumer sentiment index fell to 83.9 from the final June figure of 84.1. Traders were also concerned with Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Charles Plosser statement that the Fed should wind down quantitative easing by the end of 2013. He said policy makers should treat 6.5 percent unemployment and 2.5 percent inflation targets as 'triggers,' not 'thresholds.'

However, on the earnings front, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo gained, beating expectations on both revenue and earnings. Being the first banks to report second-quarter earnings, they set the positive tone for the rest of the sector which will issue results throughout next week.

The Dow Jones Industrial gained 3.38 points or 0.02 percent to 15,464.30, the Nasdaq moved higher by 21.78 points or 0.61 percent to 3,600.08 and the S&P 500 ended higher by 5.17 points or 0.31 percent to 1,680.19.

Indian ADRs made a mixed closing on Friday, Infosys gained 2.13%, Dr Reddy’s up by 1.22%, Tata Motors up by 0.23% and Wipro was up by 0.11%.
