U.S. Stock Market Gets a Boost

As of Monday, the fortunes of the U.S. stock market were going pretty downhill. The major stock index, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), saw their day’s business close at 12090 points, which is 80 points lower than that at that at the start of the day. The reason behind this market slump was found to be the continued crisis in Libya which meant that the price of crude oil remained high. The other major factor influencing the market was the drop in price of technology stocks after the semiconductor sector had to go through the process of downgrade.


However, Tuesday brought about a change in the market fortune. The news of an impending end to the Libyan crisis with reports of Moammar Gadhafi seeking ways to step down brought about a reduction in the price of crude oil. This prospect of a peaceful settlement to the problem aided the stock market to start their business on Tuesday in a slightly better state. The stock prices were more than that at hour on Monday.

Among the companies whose stock value are under spotlight at the moment is the convenience store operative Urban Outfitters Inc. Value of their shares are predicted to fall after the owners published a report showing the sales and profit of the last quarter to be less than the current investment market situation was supposed to generate. In Globex, electronic transactions were heightened with the fall of crude oil price to $105.08, 36 cents less than it had been on Monday. At one point in the day’s trade, the price of oil fell to $103.33, an intraday low.

In European stock markets too, things were looking up. The progress of the day saw some increase in the prices of stocks. The stock index of German DAX 30 was up by 0.2 percent. In the Asian stock market, majority of the stocks finished their day with gains. The Japanese stock index of Nikkei 225 Average ended their day’s business with a 0.2 percent increase.

The futures stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJH11) were calculated at 12105 points, an increase by 27 points.

U.S. Stock Market Fails to Capitalize on Investor Mood Upswing

Report published by the Automatic Data Processing Firm regarding betterment in the job market situation proved unable to improve the sad condition of the U.S. stock market. This is in spite of the fact that investors were more confident while investing, following the publication of the report. At the end of business session last day, the price of the chief stocks slumped by more than 1 percent over their rising prices.

But as the day progressed, this gain was changed into loss and the rest of the working hour was spent in an attempt to slightly rescue the situation. The Dow was at a gain of a measly 40 points an hour before the close of the day’s business. This summed up a day perfectly which saw the price of the American dollar slide down by 0.3 percent against euro, pound and yen. Prices of goods were fluctuating also with gold and soya bean seeing increase in their values.


The economic data which was released at the end of the day’s business underlined the depressing condition of the market with only a handful of stocks registering any profit. At the closure of the NYSE today, DOW (Dow Jones Industrial Average) calculated a gain of 8.63 points with an EOD of 12,066.65. NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) also managed to show a gain of 22.82.

Majority of the districts were able to show significant growth in their quantity of product manufactured despite the cost of production to be borne by the manufacturers having increased considerably. Wages of the workers did not pose any major problems and production was carried out smoothly. The net amount of retail sales has also increased in most parts of the country.
