US markets drop as shutdown looms

01 Oct 2013 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Monday, taking a little shine off the third straight quarter of gains, as investors remained worried about a standoff on Capitol Hill and the likely duration of a possible government shutdown. The Senate voted 54-46 to remove a House-passed delay of the Affordable Care Act, and sent a clean budget bill back to the House. Senate and House Republicans are reportedly looking at a one-week measure to avoid a partial government shutdown. Lawmakers have until midnight to pass an emergency measure to keep the federal government running starting Tuesday, the beginning of the 2014 fiscal year. If an accord is not reached, hundreds of thousands of government workers could find themselves on unpaid leave.

On the economy front, Chicago PMI climbed in September to 55.7 from 53.0 in August. Readings above 50.0 indicate expansion. The Chicago PMI has risen three straight months and the latest increase is consistent with modest economic growth. New orders advanced the highest level since February, but the employment gauge fell for the third straight month and was the only component to decline. The US Labor Department stated that it would not release the nonfarm-payrolls report this week should the government shut down.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 128.57 points or 0.84 percent to 15,129.70, the S&P 500 drop 10.20 points or 0.60 percent to 1,681.55, while the Nasdaq was down 10.12 points or 0.27 percent to 3,771.48.

Indian ADRs closed in red on Monday; ICICI Bank was down by 0.60%, Tata Motors was down 0.58%, HDFC Bank was down 0.57%, Infosys was down 0.51% and Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.23%.
