The Newsheater daily morning newsletter is powered by Stocks Telegraph
Good Morning!
The stock exchanges in New York have had an excellent day. In fact, the major indices on Wall Street had their best day since March. The S&P 500 rose 1.71% to 4,438 points and the Nasdaq Composite index rose 1.73% to a position of 14,823 points. Investors seemed to ignore the concerns about inflation and rising energy prices for a while.The sharp dip in the US 10-year yield (to 1.51%) helped technology funds in particular. Investors thus reacted to a rise in producer prices in September by 'only' 0.5%. Analysts had expected a 0.6% increase on a month-over-month basis. Big Tech names like Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet all rose by at least 2%.Better-than-expected third-quarter results from major US banks also contributed to positive sentiment. Bank of America rose 4.5% and Morgan Stanley (+2.5%) and Citigroup also did good business (+0.8%). Of the 8 companies in the S&P 500 that released their results yesterday, they all exceeded expectations in earnings per share. America's largest drugstore chain, Walgreens Boots Alliance, stole the show with a 7.4% increase after the release of its figures.
