US markets closed lower amid China worries

11 Mar 2014 Evaluate

The US markets closed lower on Monday, as weak data from China reignited worries about a global economic slowdown. Weighing on stocks a report from China, the world’s second-largest economy, over the weekend showed its exports unexpectedly skidded 18.1% in February over a year earlier. Though the tension in Ukraine created volatility in global markets early last week investors have been breathing a sigh of relief the past few days as the crisis seems to be abating. In the US Treasury Department has began taking steps to keep funding the government without breaching the nation’s debt limit, as House Republicans continue trying to find the votes to raise it. Republicans haven’t been able to find sufficient votes for at least four plans floated in the last week as conditions for raising the debt limit.

Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser stated that the Federal Reserve may have to accelerate the pace of tapering to take into account the economic pickup currently ongoing in the US and the improving forecast for the near future.  Plosser added that reducing the pace of asset purchases in measured steps is moving in the right direction, but the pace may leave us well behind the curve if the economy continues to play out according to the FOMC forecasts

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 34.04 points or 0.21 percent, to 16,418.68, the Nasdaq Composite was down by 1.77 points or 0.04 percent, to 4,334.45 while the S&P 500 dropped 0.87 points or 0.05 percent, to close at 1,877.17.

The Indian ADRs closed mixed on Monday; Infosys was down by 0.72%, Dr. Reddy’s Lab was down 0.28% and Wipro was down by 0.11%. On the other hand, ICICI Bank was up by 0.96% and HDFC Bank was up 0.90%.
