US market closed mostly lower; Dow ekes out modest gains

31 Dec 2013 Evaluate

The US markets closed mostly lower on Monday, although the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed its 51st record positive close of 2013 in the next-to-last trading session of the year. A strong finish to a robust year has investors worrying the market may be overdue for at least a near-term pullback, noting high levels of margin debt and bullish sentiment. US markets will be closed Wednesday for New Year’s Day. On the economy front, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that pending sales of homes slightly rose in November; the first gain in six months, signaling that upcoming activity could tick higher. NAR’s index of pending home sales increased 0.2% last month to 101.7, slightly above a 10-month low of 101.5 in October, but down from 103.3 in November 2012. Although higher mortgage rates have taken a bite out of housing-market activity, sales in 2013 will be the highest in seven years.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 25.88 points or 0.16 percent to 16,504.29, the S&P 500 was down 0.33 points or 0.02 percent to 1,841.07, while Nasdaq lost 2.39 points or 0.06 percent to 4,154.20.

Indian ADRs closed mostly in red on Monday; Infosys was down by 1.71%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.21% and ICICI Bank was down 0.14%. On the other hand, HDFC Bank was up 0.40% and Tata Motors was up 0.22%.
