08 Jan 2025 Evaluate

The US markets ended in red on Tuesday with Nasdaq settling lower by over 1.80 percent  amid a notable increase by treasury yields, with the yield on the benchmark ten-year note surging to its highest closing level in eight months. The jump by treasury yields, which led to concerns about the outlook for interest rates, came following the release of some upbeat U.S. economic data. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released a report showing its reading on U.S. service sector activity increased by more than expected in the month of December. The ISM said its services PMI climbed to 54.1 in December from 52.1 in November, with a reading above 50 indicating growth. Street had expected the index to rise to 53.3.

The report also said the prices index surged to 64.4 in December from 58.2 in November, climbing above 60 for the first time since January 2024. The sharp increase by the index has led to worries services inflation will remain sticky. On the sectoral front, software, semiconductor and computer hardware stocks saw significant weakness on the day, contributing to the steep drop by the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Considerable weakness was also visible among retail sales stocks, as reflected by the 1.4 percent loss posted by the Dow Jones U.S. Retail Index. Housing, brokerage and telecom stocks also showed notable moves to the upside, while airline, oil and gold stocks bucked the downward trend.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 178.2 points or 0.42 percent to 42,528.36, Nasdaq dropped 375.3 points or 1.89 percent to 19,489.68 and S&P 500 was down by 66.35 points or 1.11 percent to 5,909.03.
