Analyst Update: Strong Quarterly Numbers
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The US stock markets closed on a mixed note on Thursday. The Nasdaq rose for a seventh straight session boosted by a rally of 8.5% in the Priceline Group shares. The Dow and the S&P 500 on the other hand eased following declines in energy shares and a disappointing outlook from Wal-Mart. Uncertainty over prospects of a debt deal with Greece added to investor caution. Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 44.08 points, or 0.24%, at 17,985.77; S&P 500 closed down 2.23 points, or 0.11%, at 2,097.45; while the Nasdaq closed up 18.34 points, or 0.37%, at 4,924.70. Europe's stock rally lost steam on Thursday, with a benchmark index retreating from a seven-year high, after Germany rejected a new proposal from Athens for an extension of its bailout programme. The German finance ministry described the Greek proposal as "not a substantial solution" because it failed to fulfill the conditions of an EU/IMF bailout programme. In Asia, the Nikkei rose to a 15-year high following better-than-expected export data, while trade in the rest of Asia was quiet with several markets closed for Lunar New Year.
