IH Market News
Stocks showed a lack of direction over the course of the trading
session on Tuesday, with the major averages bouncing back and forth
across the unchanged line following the strong upward move seen in
the previous session.
The major averages eventually ended the day modestly lower. The
Dow slipped 57.35 points or 0.1 percent to 40,358.09, the Nasdaq
edged down 10.22 points or 0.1 percent to 17,997.35 and the S&P
500 (SPI:SP500) dipped 8.67 points or 0.2 percent to 5,555.74.
The choppy trading on Wall Street came as traders expressed some
uncertainty about the outlook for the markets following recent
volatility.
Stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading
session on Monday, with technology stocks seeing a significant
rebound following last week’s sell-off.
Traders may also have been reluctant to make significant moves
ahead of the release of key earnings and economic news in the
coming days.
On the earnings front, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and
electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are among the companies
due to release their quarterly results after the close of today’s
trading.
Later in the week, focus is likely to shift to a report on
personal income and spending in June, which includes readings on
inflation said to be preferred by the Federal Reserve.
The data could have a significant impact on the outlook for
interest rates, with the Fed currently widely expected to lower
interest rates by a quarter point in September.
Sector News
Most of the major sectors ended the day showing only modest
moves on the day, contributing to the lackluster close by the
broader markets.
Oil producer stocks showed a significant move to the downside,
however, with the NYSE Arca Oil Index falling by 1.9 percent. The
weakness among oil producer stocks came amid a steep drop by the
price of crude oil.
Considerable weakness was also visible among transportation
stocks, as reflected by the 1.5 percent loss posted by the Dow
Jones Transportation Average.
Semiconductor and natural gas stocks also moved to the downside,
while networking stocks showed a strong move to the upside.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific
region turned in a mixed performance during trading on Tuesday.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index closed just below the unchanged and
China’s Shanghai Composite Index slumped by 1.7 percent, while
South Korea’s Kospi rose by 0.4 percent.
The major European markets also ended the day mixed. While the
German DAX Index advanced by 0.8 percent, the French CAC 40 Index
and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index fell by 0.4 percent and 0.3 percent,
respectively.
In the bond market, treasuries moved higher after trending lower
over the past few sessions. As a result, the yield on the benchmark
ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, dipped by 2.1
basis points to 4.239 percent.
