US markets close mostly up as Larry Summers exit

17 Sep 2013 Evaluate

The US markets closed mostly higher on Monday, lifting the S&P 500 index within reach of its record after Larry Summers took his name out of the running to head the Federal Reserve. Nasdaq ended in the red, as drop in shares of Apple weighed on the tech-heavy index. There had been some concerns that Larry Summers who was widely viewed as the frontrunner for the top Fed job, would have been more aggressive at pulling back on the monetary stimulus measures that have been pumping cash into the system and supporting stock markets around the world. On the economy front, Industrial production in August saw the biggest monthly gain in six months after a rebound in car output. Industrial production rose 0.4% in August. Manufacturing output rose 0.7%, mining output added 0.3%, while utilities output fell 1.5%. Compared to August 2012, production is up 2.7%. Capacity utilization edged up to 77.8% from 77.6%.

On the other hand, the New York Federal Reserve Bank stated that manufacturing activity in the New York area unexpectedly took a step back in September. The bank’s Empire State manufacturing index edged down to 6.3 in September from 8.2 in August. The decline was unexpected. The Empire State index has strengthened slightly over the past four months after weakness in April and May.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 118.72 points or 0.77 percent to 15,494.80, the S&P 500 was up 9.61 points or 0.57 percent to 1,697.60, while the Nasdaq slipped 4.34 points or 0.12 percent to 3,717.85.

Indian ADRs closed mostly in green on Monday; ICICI Bank was up 1.24%, HDFC Bank was up 0.48%, Tata Motors was up 0.13% and Infosys was up 0.12%. On the other hand, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down by 0.72%.
