US markets fell on mixed corporate earnings

24 Oct 2013 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 falling from Tuesday’s record close, as investors assessed mixed results. Caterpillar was down after the heavy equipment maker lowered its earnings outlook, while Boeing Company led gains on the Dow after the plane manufacturer raised its 2013 forecast. Investor sentiment was also hit by worries about possible monetary constrictions in China and softness among European banks. On the economy front, the Labor Department stated that import prices rose 0.2% in September. That follows a 0.2% rise in August and no change in July. Higher fuel prices drove the gain though nonfuel import prices rose for the first time since February.

Meanwhile, there were signs of a slowdown in the home-price data released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The 0.3% gain, on a seasonally adjusted basis, was the lightest rise since September. July’s growth was downwardly revised to 0.8% from 1%. Compared to August 2012, prices were up 8.5%. The FHFA generates its data from transactions where Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac buy or guarantee the mortgage.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 54.33 points or 0.35 percent to 15,413.30, the S&P 500 was down 8.29 points or 0.47 percent to 1,746.38, while Nasdaq dropped 22.49 points or 0.57 percent to 3,907.07.

Indian ADRs closed in red on Wednesday; Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.78%, Tata Motors was down 0.76%, Infosys was down 0.56%, ICICI Bank was down 0.55% and HDFC Bank was down 0.46%.
