Equity Alert: US indices mixed Fri; traders await Fed meet outcome
MUMBAI--0742 IST--Indices in the US were mixed Friday. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended lower while the technology-heavy Nadaq Composite closed at a record high. All three indices had hit record closing highs in the previous week as market participants expect the US Federal Resave to cut interest rates in its meeting on Wednesday.
The Nasdaq Composite rose for the fifth consecutive session, up 0.4%. The index had gained more than 2% in the previous week. Shares of Tesla and other technology companies pushed the index higher. Tesla was up 7?ter its board Chair Robyn Denholm dismissed concerns that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's political activity had hurt sales, Reuters reported.
Shares of Warner Bros Discovery rose 17%, extending gains from Wednesday when media reports suggested Paramount Skydance was preparing to bid for the company. Shares of technology-giant Microsoft rose 2?ter the company avoided paying a potentially large anti-trust fine in European Union.
The Dow Jones fell 0.6?ter hitting a closing high Thursday. Shares of paint-maker Sherwin-Williams Co. were down 2% and Goldman Sachs fell nearly 1%.
The S&P 500 fell marginally, snapping a four-day winning streak. The index had hit a record intraday high Friday before retreating to close at lower levels.
Shares of vaccine makers were down after a media report said that US health officials were planning to link coronavirus vaccines to the deaths of 25 children, according to Reuters. Shares of Modern, Pfizer, Novax fell 3-7%.
Traders await the US Federal Reserve's policy on interest rate cuts as several analysts believe a September rate cut will mark the start of a new easing cycle, according to media reports. The CME Fedwatch tool shows a 96% probability of a 25-basis points rate cut, up from an 89% possibility a week ago.
