US markets end higher on Tuesday

26 Dec 2024 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher on Tuesday as traders continued to pick up stocks at relatively reduced levels. Markets have also benefitted from ongoing optimism about the outlook for the markets even after indications the Federal Reserve plans to cut interest rates less than previously estimated next year. The extent of the upward move has been exaggerated by below average volume, as many traders remained away from their desks on account of Christmas Day holiday on Wednesday. The markets also closed earlier than usual on the day, which likely kept some traders on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, a lack of major U.S. economic data also contributed to light trading, as the release of reports on durable goods orders and new home sales was pushed forward to Monday after President Joe Biden signed an executive order closing the federal government for Christmas Eve. Brokerage stocks turned in some of the market's best performances on the day, driving the NYSE Arca Broker/Dealer Index up by 1.7 percent. Significant strength was also visible among retail stocks, as reflected by the 1.5 percent gain posted by the Dow Jones U.S. Retail Index. Networking, computer hardware and banking stocks also saw notable strength moving higher along with most of the other major sectors.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 390.08 points or 0.91 percent to 43,297.03, Nasdaq surged 266.24 points or 1.35 percent to 20,031.13 and S&P 500 was up by 65.97 points or 1.1 percent to 6,040.04.
