Analyst Update: Financial Results, Leadership Announcements, and New Orders

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The US markets rattled on Monday and ended the day in red amid an indiscriminate sell-off triggered by a renewed plunge in crude oil prices which plummeted below $50 a barrel. The Dow Jones Industrial Average crushed 1.86%, to finish the day at 17,501.65. NASDAQ Composite edged 1.57% lower to 4,652.57 while S&P 500 suffered its largest one-day decline in three months, closing at 2,020.58, down 1.83%. The European markets also ended on a negative note as concerns over a potential Greek exit of the Eurozone continued to weigh on sentiment. Weakness in the Euro further dented investor confidence as the currency dropped to a 9-year low against the dollar on expectations of fresh European Central Bank stimulus. The Chinese shares however maintained their bullish tone on hopes of fresh measures from the government to kickstart the economy. Overall, the Asian markets finished the day on a mixed note.
